I've had little luck with the forum's search: has anyone seen sound clips of a Baby Bass with a piezo pickup (like the setup that Clarkybass mentioned)? And what about bowed? I'm really curious to hear what other non-salsa sounds we can get out of it.

That's beautiful craftsmanship, congrats! How long have you been building instruments? I hope to have a room for a workbench to start tinkering someday, and I imagine it's a long journey to building a playable instrument.

BassRegulator, you have one beautiful EUB! Is it custom built / where does it come from?

Makes sense thanks! That's exactly what I'm after: I hear the build quality of baby basses is excellent, they look amazing, but I'm keen to get a broader range of sounds (including Latin, but not only). Now an onboard preamp would be ideal, but you're right I don't see myself drilling into the...

Thanks Clarkybass! Maybe a stupid question, but did you remove the front plate to re-wire the output jack, or simply fixed the new jack on top, next to the original one? Also very curious to heard how it sounds, if you have any recordings.

Hi, I spoke to Kris from KK who mentioned some players install an additional piezo pickup to complement the magnetic one. If you tried this on your KK Baby Bass, where did you put it, and did you install an onboard preamp/mixer to blend the inputs?

Thanks a lot for all that info! And congrats on your new EUBs. You both sound happy with the NXT, after tweaking to get the right sound. I'll definitely have a closer look at preamps & types of strings. In a lot of NXT demos I found, people seem to leave them setup quite bright, closer to a BG...

Thanks Steve, I'll look them up - and hopefully can try them out sometime.

Hi everyone, I just joined today after being a (slient) reader for a while! I've been playing the electric bass for a long time, and I think I'm finally getting the double bass bug :hyper: Now I know... I should get a real DB, but space and neighbours probably mean starting with an EUB for now...
