Today many varieties of EUB are available; some EUBs cannot be used with a bow because of its large radius and the flatness of   bridge. Electric Upright Bass is played in the same way like the double bass since it have a hollow sound chamber, or only includes a small sound chamber that greatly reduces the size and weight of the instrument.
