Oh yeah, it sounds great!  Very nice tone, not muddy at all.  It turned out great.  I'd be interested in one if they'd make them!  I think they are missing out on an opportunity here!

Here's a short vid I made of the longscale EB2 by BaCH

Straight into the desk. No EQ. Through the crappy old stereo. Registrated with the built in mic of my iMac.
But you get the idea ;-)

great sounding bass.  very present ,  not muddy at all.  both pups artecs??    those pups with the long scale have taken away all the bad parts of the eb-2 sound i have disliked.    i would definately be in for one of those babies....  how bad is the neck dive????

I'm not sure if they are Artecs.
Actually the mudbucker is different from the Artec that I used in my self built bass.
The mudbucker on the EB2 only has one magnet per side. The Artec has two per side.

It does have a bit of a neck dive. But nothing serious. The body is actually pretty heavy (it has a center block)
But I am considering Resolites to cure that last tiny bit of neck dive.

The unmudbucker pickup... sounds great whatever they did differently.
