My teacher recently said the same thing tucker wrote here. In fact, out of the other 2-3 Boehm basses made today, the Uebel is his favorite. According to him, it is NOT like the Prestige, despite being identical on the outside, more or less.
I still haven't tried one, sorry. He said it had an excellent overall response.
r small: There is no real solution to that, or so I've been told. In my case (the Leblanc I own is quite extreme), a really good repad helped, but as an technician told me, they found German basses, which have a much narrower bore, to be superior in that regard. They said it was ihnerent to the Boehm bore, that with these notes, you had some sort of turbulence. Can't exactly recall their description, but made sense to me. A good German bass indeed plays so much more effortlessly in that register.
Then again, if we're talking about the current Selmer bass, I'd rather say these notes are a bit hoarse, which is also an interesting characteristic and not necessarily a disadvantage.
Best regards
