The instrument that was originally designed to allow upright players to move around on stage and electric players to easily adapt to upright style has evolved into a revolutionary instrument that continues to amaze even its designers. The Conklin M.E.U. or Mobile Electric Upright is a fully mobile, fully portable, extremely well-balanced electric upright that is strapped on like an electric bass but hangs on the body in upright position. A combination of precisely placed strap buttons and an ingenious balance block on the back of the instrument allows the lightweight M.E.U. to hang effortlessly just off the player's body at a perfect playing angle and height.

The secret to the M.E.U.'s size and mobility lies in its 34" scale length, but don't think for a second that the M.E.U. can't run with its long-scale acoustic counterparts. the Conklin has an incredible acoustic tone, even down to the "thud" produced when plucking an upright string and the vibrating top effect produced by bowing an acoustic. you won't believe your ears!
