What ever happen to the ampeg (EUB) electric upright bass, as I understand the well known baby bass went belly up. How ever they reinvented their amps and cabs. The ampeg baby bass at one time was the most used bass in jazz and latin salsa music because of its heavy bottom bass souud. I myself owned two of their models and still have one today, these instruments are a collector’s item. If your ever in need of a baby bass with great sound and pick up, you need not look any further, let me introduce you to the only one person in the music industry that makes the baby basses to your specifications and design. His name is Ray Ramirez and his office and shop is located in Puerto Rico his website is www.RayRamirezBasses.com. In this site you’ll find several types and designs. If your in need of a baby bass just call him and get all your Q&A taken care of. I myself purchase his compact series baby bass and spent hours working the strings and board studying the geometrical structure, stress factors and found no faults. When playing and running my fingers on the board there was no stress on my fingers, little or no pressure needed to compress the notes, it’s as smooth as butter and you’ll never know until you have played one of his basses. Ray Ramirez has earned my respect, he is an accomplished bass player and instrument designer engineer. I think that Ray Ramirez in the near future well become a sort out individual in the business.
