One of the challenges EUB makers face is making their basses
stable while being played. I wonder if it's hard to hold
that bass still while bowing. What I do with my Jensen is
play it more like a cello, close to my body, and that works
pretty well for me. (But I also play my AUB that way too!)
If keeping it still is the problem, you may want to try
different positions and readjusting the hardware if that's
possible, or maybe a stand.

I use a French bow because I play cello too but I don't
think the bass much cares whether the bow is French or
German; that's more about what you like.

I have never even tried a cello bow with my EUB or AUB but
now I'm curious! I'm guessing it would be pretty hard to put
enough energy into the string with a cello bow.

BTW, I just bought a new braided carbon fiber bow from
http://www.youbow.com. It's a nice bow and cost about $100.
They don't seem to have that one in stock but maybe some
others are good too.
