Hi there,
I'm seriously considering getting an EUB, I play in a couple of big bands, jazz quartets and pit bands every now and then. And I really think that double bass sound would go a long way. Before anyone says, no I'm not considering a genuine DB, i'm a student with limited space, limited funds and no car! So this EUB will most likely have to be sub £500. The ones i've been considering are the obvious choices of the stagg and the Palatino VE-500, then theres the NS Design WAV4 and perhaps even the Harley Benton one (though I dont know much about that). I'm looking for the jazz upright sound, but something that will be able to produce a decent arco sound too.
Anyway if anyone has any advice/experience on where to go here and which of these options you think is best (maybe including mods to whichever bass) then it would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
