I've been going on about this for months, it was going to be a real acoustic double bass, and then it was going to an EUB and then it was a double bass again, and so on....
Anyway, I spent an hour or so in a local music shop last week, Turners violins in Birmingham, they were very helpful, and demonstrated the instruments for me.
I'd forgotten just how heavy and big these things are, I played one a couple of times many years ago at college, but only briefly, (actually for a total of about 10 minutes).
So it's now definately an EUB that I want, I went and ordered an NS design but cancelled the order, I fancy something a bit different, either a Shuker or one of the Mo Clifton basses.
I've read some excellent reviews of the Clifton basses, it'd be the mini bass that I'd go for, but I can't seem to find any reviews of the Shuker EUB, has anyone got one, or can anyone let me know how they sound and play.
I've played his bass guitars a couple of times, and been impressed with the build quality.[/quote]
