subject: Amplified Electric Upright Bass [print this page] EUB or electric upright bass also known as stick bass is a known type of bass played in many venues, concerts, live shows, opera or theatre. The electric upright bass is played in vertical position. It is an electrically driven device that is able to play a note with more volume.
The electric upright bass is the electric version of the double bass instrument. The electric upright bass is completely designed in a way that it will have the same effect as the double bass instrument has.
Like most electrical instruments, the electrical upright bass has made double bass instruments even bigger in sound and audio quality. The good thing about the electrical upright bass is that it maintained the original raw materials used in a double bass instrument making it sound raw and natural.
The body of the electrical upright bass is basically made also for the convenience of the instrument player. Its body is quite curved and its lower part a bit flat and strong so that it could stand on its own. It is also made quite big to fit in a the user's body.
In most cases, this uncomfortable feeling when using an instrument will make the user less effective. The electrical upright bass usual weight and size might be too much for the user that they are made to be placed on the ground while the user may sit or stand.
The player of course has the option on how he would like to play the instrument. The most important is that the instrument will not be too heavy for the player.
If you are planning to buy an electrical upright bass, you have to think about some important things. In Amazon or eBay, you may encounter certain instruments that are expensive or cheap. The cheaper electrical upright bass I found in Amazon for example is really affordable and it will suit anyone who is planning to play it in a short even or for learning purposes. However, if you are a professional instrumentalists, better buy the best bass that has good quality. Cheaper electrical upright bass isn't that bad though.
If electrical upright bass isn't available, you may look for other types of stringed instruments or basses. There are basses that are light and portable that would be good for traveling.
