Hi, I don't have any samples. This bass and a similar one I traded away.The latest one I have has a slightly larger hollow body box, and the piezo sits on top of the sound chamber. They all sounded pretty good, using my fretless bass as a model. The bridge needs to sit on a box or chamber, otherwise the whole instrument becomes sensitive,and noisy. Even a small box would be better than this solid body with a piezo. An electric pickup would have been better with the solid body. It was a learning experience. Be sure to use some kind of box if you use a piezo, which I recommend over an electric pickup.

Hi,

great gear. I'm going to build such fretless upright bass but with small box.

can you post some sound samples?

Thanks. The body looks smaller than it is because of the way the camera distorts the angle. I have a short rod that I thread into the bottom, and I play sitting down. Peace, Rich
