Double Bass Custom Built EUB

[triplet86]

Hey everyone, i recently built a very simple eub, other than a few tools i purchased i spent under $300 on materials. I was for sure on a budget here(if i could've i'd bought an ergo), but i decided to take a chance and give this a shot, and as noted if you check my page, I am not a professional, and this is my first time to do this, and there are certain flaws in it, nowhere near perfect, but i'm very happy with it.

Anyone interested in building one of there own, i'll share any tips, regrets, other links, or any info i can provide.

Very nice job. The sound is quite good. Recently talked myself out of a DIY EUB just because I had no idea how the sound would come out. Didn't want to gamble that I would have a playable instrument at the end of 3-4 hundred spent.

I am trying to figure out now whether to get a NS WAV4 or the least expensive Englehardt. Anyway, congrats on your project and thanks for sharing your experience.
