Hi Mate

How does this feel compared to a double bass ? I am looking for something to practice on silently, and could you tell if the heel is at the E on tha A string and what the scale length is please.

I tried a Clifton a few years ago at Mo's place in London.. amazing! Very much like a double.
If I'd been earning at the time I'd have had one, probably one of his bass guitars too!
He introduced me to the Realist pickup which he was certainly using as standard on these EUBs at the time.

I contacted him a few years back about buying one but never got my hands on one as I got the NS, if this plays like a DB I will be very intrested indeed

It really does - I am a classical double bass player and loved the sound of the realist pickup and the fact that it felt so much like my acoustic DB.
Let me know!

I've had one for years, and I think its the only EUB design that allows you to go back to acoustic with little/no adjustment. The only issue is that most acoustics do vary in size, neck proportions and heel placement..but the Clifton design is the best I've seen. And its virtually silent if you dont plug it in.
