Double Bass Most Authentic/Acoustic-Sounding EUB

I just got this great EUB hollow body. I already have a 3/4 fingerboard and a (smaller) bridge. So I need a neck. I was thinking of repurposing a junk fretless EB neck to mount the fb to. I d prefer a trad neck joint at 7th position. I could add the stump. This should sound like a real DB (although the body is much less deep) with a bridge pickup and two magnetic ones for slap and boom. Trying to ID the maker.

Does anyone recognize the maker?
 
There was a guy here just a few months ago that demoed an electric upright that sounded pretty good. It wasn’t a brand I was familiar with. Maybe someone here remembers that post. The biggest issue with electrics for me is the arco sound. I’ve heard nothing that sounds like an acoustic bowed bass, something I do a lot.

I know this is an old thread, but I just saw this, so I thought I'd throw in this little clip of my BSX Allegro 5-string. I actually think it sounds Better Arco than pizz. And this is before I got my Empress Bass ParaEQ. Bass ParaEq I'm sure I'll be able to get an even better sound once I've dialed that it.

But you don't think of the "Petite Double Bass" from Piotr Południak?!?
