Double Bass 5String EUB

[bassksun]

This is my first try at an EUB. It's still in progress. I had been looking at Eminence and NS instruments. My teacher really liked the idea of me making a transition instrument from BG to DB. So I tried to make an unholy union of both. I REALLY DIDN'T want to make a stick. I wanted something more resonant. The next one will be more DB than BG. I want to arco!

Specs:
Top: Sitka Spruce
Back: Mahogany/Maple
Neck: Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany
FBoardau Ferro w/Maple 16" radius
Bridge: Adjustable Ebony
Nut: Ebony
Electronics: Bridge KK Big Twin
Neck Fender
Bartolini Piezo/Magnetic PreAmp
Tuners: Gotoh

I always admire anyone who builds their own instrument and yours is certainly original. I like the smiley face too.

Are you going with an arched bridge? or a flat one like a bass guitar?

The bridge is arced to match the radius of the FB.
