Howdy howdy. I've played URB for 20 years and am looking into getting my first EUB. However, I don't really know where to start. I've been doing a lot of casting about but haven't found that EUB that grabs my attention without reservation.
So yeah, here's a bit about what I'm looking for.
For the most part I've played standing, so I'd like an endpin. However, as I plan to use this with an EBG on stage, a stand would be handy for when I put it down.
I'll be using the EUB for classical and heavy industrial rock, so I'll need good bow and pizz tone as well as even production of volume up and down the fingerboard. I need something that can be as warm and woody as it can be biting and bright. It also needs to not feedback like a beast in louder settings.
I like my URB landmarks, having played URB for almost 20 years, so no sticks with wire. If it has a pelvis rest (thing that sticks out the back to rest against my stomach) that would be very nice.
Full scale length is a must, that being 41 1/4" - 42". Transportability is a factor too, so I'm not against collapsible/removable neck variants.
So yeah... Key points:
Endpin
URB landmarks/feel
Woody to bitey/classical to heavy rock
Bow and pizz
Even across all registers
Full string length
No feedback
Portability = bonus.
All for around the $3,000 USD mark.
Thanks in advance!
