INNOVATION
The
Electric Upright Bass
Hand-carved
sitka spruce top
Jacaranda and pernambuco neck
Rock maple and myrtle back
Ebony fingerboard
Gidgee tail piece
Sounds as good when played pizzicato as with the bow. Most EUB's sound electrified and harsh when bowed, but in this case the carved
soundboard produces true acoustic timbre.
This EUB
does not use ectronic circuitry to reproduce an acoustic sound.
Extremely
serviceable as it is built from traditional components. No expensive, problematic circuit boards or pickups.

QUOTES:
George Gerontakas:
Played it in his jazz rock band......... the guys told him to throw his German double bass away and use this one all the time.
Dave Ellis:
One of the most prolific and successful session
players in Australia. Dave was impressed and optomistic on the day Mark took it down to The Bass Shop.
