question on an E U B ,

greetings , new member here... have not explored the site in its full as of yet,,, but would like to throw a question out there,.... have been checking out an E.U.B. on line , it looks good (e-Bay) all the specs look good . price looks too good !... question is: Anyone ever hear of a PRO CONCERT SILENT ELECTRIC UPRIGHT ??

only thing i rendered was that it could be made in korea , (mahogany spruce , ebony fingerboard ) and is sold to dealers with different names... HARMON is a name they mention , yet , a photo view it looks more like Harmonia.

thanks for any further info on this beast
 
I did a lot of searching for information on this site and others before I bought my EUB. I couldn't seem to find any additional info on these bass' than what you have already found...made in Korea or China and marketed under a variety of names. Its really a crap shoot with "cheap" EUBs. The quallity control is generally pretty pathetic. If you can find one for around $600 to $700 and feel like you'll be o.k. with it if it turns out to be a piece of s#$% than I'd say go for it. If you're thinking about paying more, I'd just wait for a higher quality used insturment to show up for sale.
 
Hey , thanks ,

that pretty much is how i was feeling towards it. the seller was not even able to help out with any info. thats enough for me to let it go and get something more reliable,,,,,,cheers
