Cool Guy Jazz Stick
I've wanted to play double bass almost my entire life. Having played fretless bass on and off for about a decade, I figured it was time to take the plunge and settled on this. Mainly due to the cool looking scroll headstock, as opposed to the sort of ugly square ones on the 2 or 3 other entry level EUBs on the market.
This is my first EUB so I don't have much of a frame of reference. However the fit and finish seem solid, the neck is nice and actually quite comfortable (not as thick as I was anticipating) and it sounds as I imagine an electric upright should sound. For an entry level instrument, I find it sounds quite smooth and warm. It has "that" sound that just sings and oozes cool. The sound it produces just makes me want to continue playing. The tone controls allow you to dial in some extra low end if desired. Action arrived a little high for my liking, I will look into adjusting. Still, having literally never played this instrument before in my life, this particular EUB is making learning an enjoyable experience.
There's a bow also, to unleash some shuddering low end drones, but I'm really here for the cool cat fingerstyle. Oh yeah, and it sounds killer through a chorus pedal!

Excellent product!
I am very pleased of this DB02 double bass. Complete with bow and rosin you get a lot of value and can begin playing immediately. To my surprise the bass was already prepared, strings attached. G and D were crossed in the box, I had to slightly rewind strings.
Playing position is good using the support, and the bass is high enough for me (181 cm).
The finish is smooth and colour perfect! Even the scroll is very nice.
