Electric Upright Bass

The easier portability of electric basses has appealed to upright bassists for years. With excellent acoustic sound quality and accurate tracking of both bowing and plucking nuances, today's bass viol player can have it both ways. You can even drive to the gig, fully equipped, in an MG, a Mini or a Miata - even with the top up!

Eminence Upright Bass

The Eminence portable electric upright bass by Gary Edwards Lutherie has a narrow acoustic body, so you can hear yourself without an amp. Plugged in you get an amazingly rich and authentic bass tone - just like a fine upright bass with a good microphone. Much more portable than a standard upright bass. He also makes removable neck models for those who fly with their bass. Four and five string basses are available.

NS Design Upright Bass

The NS Design Electric Double Bass combines the sleek minimalist design Ned Steinberger is famous for, with a great upright bass sound. Tone control knobs allow modifying your sound, and if you want more punch, get one with the optional EMG magnetic pickups. You can then choose a wide variety of sounds from one bass.

The Steinberger electric upright is available as a four- or five-string bass, and includes Ned's specially designed stand (very heavy duty - great design too), and heavy duty gig bag. His CRT Bass model more closely resembles an acoustic bass in sound and feel. The EU Bass uses carbon fiber laminated with maple for very lengthy sustain and a warp resistant neck with 5 or 6 strings.

The new NS BassCello brings a bowable bridge to the same scale length as the bass guitar. It has 5 strings, and can be tuned in fourths or fifths!

Zeta Upright Bass

Zeta Basses are all MIDI compatible, with purchase of the Synthony MIDI Controller, and come with outrigger attachments to feel like you are playing a normal upright. The Zeta Crossover Bass has a shorter scale length, and can be played on a strap like an electric bass guitar, or upright on a stand.
