Double Bass New EUB in da hauz

[Flying Optimist]

Hello again guys!
In order to thank you all for useful advices about good EUB stand and just to share my happiness with you I'd like to show you pics of my new EUB I got couple of days ago from local luthier:

Body wood is padouk, fingerboard - tigerwood, tailpiece - lacewood. Bridge is made of maple but it has some imperfections so I asked the luthier to make another one of anegri wood which is little bit softer and will filter harshness of arco sound. Also there is a chamber in the body which gives it a good resonance.
I use custom made for me strings of Russian company called Emusin which our band endorces. Tuning is EADGCF, scale length 34'.
So yeah I know that it's not a DB-simulator but I didn't really need one. I wanted it to have it's own EUB voice and use it to play arco for my solo parts in band.
So I think I can start receive congratulations

With respect
Max, Russia.

I've put only one piezo pickup under the bass foot of the bridge and use external preamp. Plan to buy Fdeck or fishman b-II. I need preamp as buffer only, I use laptop and VSTs for effects and EQing.

2 phatbass: about 1300$ including stand. Also includes unlimited warranty

Cheers Max,
Very interesting design, thumbs up to your local luthier.
The Fdeck pre has a lot of fans on TB.
Keep us posted with progress ;-)

Heh, me trying to be funny, Extended Range EUB, like a combination of ERB, and EUB.

The head looks very similar to the Ergo!

Hmmm... I think it's a coincidence because my luthier doesn't know about Ergo cuz he doesn't know english and Ergos are not popular here in Russia
