Members Chlo_treacher Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 basically i had a go on one today as i've just been asked to do a blues project and have been thinking about the west end show route more and more as an option job wise. so...any recommendations? A teacher at uni was mentioning to get me endorsed..but if that doesn't work then i'll need a half decent but not too expensive alternative..any help with the stick basses or how the hell i get myself endorsed would be muchly appreciated. thanks guys Chlo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ask thunderbroom about his PVC stick bass. From what the others on here say, it's pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bassius Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 as far as getting endorsed you need to be a viable "product" ie someone with a good visible image in the music industry. concerning stick basses or electric uprights...look into the NS design, they have the best playability and tone from an EUB that i have experienced. I do, however, prefer the real deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I played an Emminece that was pretty nice, almost like a real upright.The old Ampegs from the 50s & 60s are cool too if you can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pjmburg Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm forced to play one at school and hate it (the good bassist gets the real upright.... ), but it's a short-scale and I'm not sure how the technology has changed between when this thing was built and now.

Members bnyswonger Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've got a five string Clevinger that is a very nice instrument. You need to be a heavyweight to get any sort of endorsement deal, though. I had to pay for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm forced to play one at school and hate it (the good bassist gets the real upright.... ), but it's a short-scale and I'm not sure how the technology has changed between when this thing was built and now. I would get one with an standard upright scale length, not shorter. If you gonna play a shorter scale, might as well just play a fretless slab. The shorter the scale, the more precise intonation required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Super Bass Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Aria SWB??? Sexy Waifish Bass? Stick-like Wimpy Bass? I dunno. They're supposed to be good EUB's. A lot of people on TalkBass dig them. They're cheap enough (under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
