I'm interested in this too, but from what I've read it isn't available yet. If anyone knows where they can be found let us know.
It seems like a real cool idea. It's the first retail EUB for under $1000. I've read some info on it and this is what I know about the bass:
-It will be petite size
-The designer of this bass said it was inspired from his own home-made EUB
-It has a ball at the end of its endpin for maximum adjustability (if that's a word)
That's what I got anyway.

I think I heard that it has a relatively flat finger board radius like what you would fine on a standard electric bass.

Heya,
im looking to get my first upright and ive opted to go an electric, well id like to go electric, im just looking for a entry level and looking at the april issue of Bass Player i saw the Dean Pace Electric....which doesnt give an exact price, just under $1000us, ive also considered getting steve wishnevky to make one, i also wouldnt mind getting my hands on a yamaha silent bass...but ive got no idea....being in australia limits hands on experience.....
any advice is welcome

This is an interesting EUB that is the correct scale length. Never played it but I thought it appeared well thought out.

I don't own or have I tried one... but in my research, it's the one I'm gonna buy.
[edit] which seems to be what the ebay link is too
good call Pathdoc [/edit]

good call Pathdoc [/edit]Those ergo's look nice..pretty much what im looking for,a walnut, rosewood or mahogany 4 string, how are they on a stand? how are they tonally? do they sound like a normal upright?
we had an upright at my old school,. it was fun to pley, except that it was setup for bow style and the strings probably hadnt been changed since the 60's when they got it.
i found conklin made a EUB, it looks pretty nice

how many peices are they, they look like once peice with a piece either side of the headstock fo shaping... i think a rosewood one would sound rather nice and warm
are they reinforced in anyway? and are they more suitiable for bowing or pizzicato?....forgive me....my experience with uprights is extremely limited 
Hey DonZ,
Is your Ergo dead quiet by itself? I need something super quiet for playing late at night. I still get complaints from my neighbors about my bass after I've put a practice mute on and muffled my strings by weaving a rag between them. I guess they can still hear the thump or something. Totally sucko!
Lemme know... thanks.
