Thanks for the great review and demo. I'm buying a used one of these tonight and this got me excited for the possibilities!

Wow, what a passionate review. This kind of presentation is inspiring.

When I got my Stagg EDB I had pain in my arms and shoulders after playing for only a few minutes. At first I thought it was because I was a novice, which I was. But after watching and studying videos lessons of several different upright players(and actually playing a couple of upright basses) I realized that because I was having to use my hands, arms, and shoulders to balance and hold the EDB steady, I was getting fatigued quicker. Traditional upright bass technique involves leveraging the mass of the instrument's body against the player's body so that the hands, arms, and shoulders are more free to execute; something you can't really do with a stick EDB, even with the stomach rest. My workaround was to purchase a upright bass stand and I rest the EDB on it while playing. Its helped tremendously in stabilizing the EDB while standing or sitting. Now my hands, arms, and shoulders have more freedom to focus on technique instead of trying to hold the EDB steady, and I'm not nearly as fatigued as before. Just my two cents.

I sure will thank you for such a quick response I'm telling you as well as being helpful it was entertaining watching you and listening to you!

Nice review. Picking a used one of these up tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hi Gary, thank you for your excellent demo/review, the best on youtube about this bass - you convinced me to give the Stagg a go, ordered it, will hopefully be here tomorrow, really excited. Greetings from Germany.

I've got to say your simplicity convinced me to purchase one of these I should have mine by the 14th of October I I've found a Factory blem model , PS you had me entertained on all the videos thank you

I bought this Stagg EDB in 2015. After trying to play with it a few days, so much shoulder, left wrist pain, that i parked it for a year before I touched it again. I am a 5 string electric bassist in a few local bands, blues, rock, country etc. I may attribute that initial pain first few days to a new playing position and not taking lessons for a DB, as many should. I bought that same stand for this bass and found I can play it much easier while it's on the stand. So I now gig this EDB in one band using the large stand so that I don't have to hold the weight of the bass with my lefthand as before. I couldn't get used to those little plastic coated bars that you install on each side of this bass to simulate a upright. Much happier and able to use it now on the stand and I am getting so much better and compliments on my playing of this Stagg bass. Cheers.

Bless you too for being honest it would be nice if everybody else was the same. Thank you again!

I have one, bought it about 6 years ago because it is so easy to transport, unlike my acoustic upright. I use it in gigs along with my electric bass gutar.

Great review and playing. Thanks for this. I play a Kay upright but, at 67, I don't know how much longer I can lug the thing around. Play in several geezer groups so loading and unloading several times a week. This sounds really good. I thought I'd have to look at an EUB costing $1500 to get even close to an upright sound. But this is quite doable I think and you seem to agree.

Hi Gary, thank you for your review. I've recently got a stagg from ebay. Id love to start bowing. What bow have you got? Does it matter if its a cello, violin or double bass bow? Thanks

Este instrumento es el que yo utilizo profesionalmente y para mí es el mejor.

great Gary ;)

Hello Gary, greetings from Egypt. Is this the deluxe version or the regular one?

What strings fit this type of bass?

Hello Mr Gary, i'm about to get this for my studio, and would you choose this for studio use? i've got a Ashwdown Perfect 10 30 watt amp thanks very much and great playing

Gary, what strings are on the Stagg in this video?

Hi , please help I'm not sure what this knob/strap attachment , thing is for ? Where the back of the neck joins the body there is a silver knob/thing ? On a electric bass guitar it's where you'd attach your strap. Please can anybody inform me it's use... Cheers. Gavin.

what amp...mic... now it seems over 700 gbp

Can I ask,is it possible to plug it in any electric bass amp or does it need a specific one?

Friend, how are you? very good video! I'm from Venezuela and apology because I'm using a translator! buy the same low and I like it! but I feel a very low noise is a land! that will be? It can be fixed? regards!

I'm learning double bass in a conservatory, but i don't have the space for a normal bass, your think this could be used to practice at home, cuz I play a normal one at the conservatory, so to practice even more

Alright .. crazy question. . Could this be held horizontal like a traditional bass?

How do you adjust the height of the strings?

There is no on off switch for the 9v battery. So I have to keep popping it out every time im done playing.

Por favor este hombre es espantoso tocando el bajo!

This bass is absolute garbage. It has no tone whatsoever, just loud. The support brackets are weak and wobbly and does not do the job for which they were intended. I bought the bass during the pandemic Aug. of 2020. I sold it by November. Luckily, I got what I paid for it. It sounds like a cheap fretless bass guitar. Don't buy it. (Also, the endpin rattles on the inside of the bass while you're playing, and the rattling gets picked up by the pickups).
