What if you want to put a quiver on your Electric Upright Bass!?! (EUB) As you can see from the photo, quivers are generally tied to the bass tailpiece, but if your EUB doesn't have a full size one, what do you do? Both my Dad's Eminence and my NS Design EUB lack a "conventional" tailpiece, so I tie my quiver to each of the bass stands. We include our own tip sheet on Bows, Rosin and Quivers with every quiver order, so you get instructions for care and use with your purchase, no charge. The specially reinforced upper tie point means this very nice bow quiver will stand up to years of dependable use. The interior is lined - meaning that the inside is also smooth leather, not rough suede - so it's smooth and snag-free.Įxtra-long matched leather ties let you secure it to your tailpiece at the top and bottom (you can trim them as needed).The mouth of the quiver will always stay wide, ready to receive the bow - and the length of the quiver will not collapse or fold on itself.

During use, there are a few differences the slim bass bow quiver has a smaller opening for landing the bass bow but it holds the bow better meaning less movement from the bow when it’s in the quiver.
