Double Bass What is the most acoustic sounding EUB/Cutaway DB?

To each their own on the aesthetics of a EUB. Nothing is as beautiful as a real DB so EUBs have always been a tool of utility for me. The lighter, more compact, durable and quicker the setup the better, given that the tone and feel is there.

I'm back!!!
I've played all (or most) of the Eub's. Had a few including the Alter Ego. If you're looking to emulate the acoustic sound (and more importantly the function), the Volante is WAYY better. I toured with one for 7 years and never looked back. (at the acoustic).It's the only one with a bass bar and an adjustable sound post. Really emulates the sound and feel of an acoustic. It's the only one I've ever played that I could walk on. Adjustable string length, action is adjustable on the fly (between songs). Fits in a golf club case and bows really well. Don't know if they're made any more. Haven't used mine for a few years (not touring any more) Might sell it.
