Electric upright bass
When E- Bass, Electric Upright Bass ( EUB ) or upright bass is a bass guitar with the scale length (1/ 2, 3/ 4, 4/ 4) of a double bass. The design makes it possible to play with the usual string length of a double bass without a body, in order to avoid, among other transportation problems. Since the ESA usually consists only of an extended foot and the neck including strings, bridge, and so on, a tone pickup and amplification takes place piezoceramically or electromagnetically via an amplifier with box.
Since the 1960s, different ESAs were made with small orchestras under the bridge, mini - corpus or bass -like ESAs.
There are also e- bass models with respect to a double bass reduced corpus. Also need these to play in an orchestra or band sound pick-up and amplification. For training purposes, but their volume is often sufficient. Advantageously, it is relatively soft sound while practicing in flats or hotel rooms.
