Elrick or Ristola ?

Hi guys,
Tomorrow I will buy a new bass... either an Elrick or a Ristola.
Can you give me your opinions.. which of these do you think are better ? Elrick or Ristola ?
thanks

According to what particular criteria?

Honestly, who can answer a question that's posed in such a broad, generic way?

Also please post what models, I have owned many Elricks and have always been happy.

What are the particulars of each bass? Will you be able to play each of them first to see which you prefer??

Edit: Brian Ristola is a good friend. I've played a bunch he's made over the years. I'm curious which it is you'll be checking out. He made me my custom 6 string and I love it.

Yes....

I guess you really need to ask though..which is the best for metal

The Elrick is the Evolution NT 6 and the Ristola would be the Exotic Piezo 6.
I play mostly Pop, Funk, Soul...
I'm asking this because in Portugal there aren't any of this basses available to try, so I'm just trying to understand which of these have a better reputation, because here we don't know anything about these basses.
thanks..

They're both highly respected builders. If you're able to try them both than you should know which suits you best.
