Playing while mounted on the stand Sixway’s idea and thank you! Back in an old post #532, Sixway came up with the idea of playing while mounted in the stand. I recently tried it and it’s perfect for anyone who missed the post. Really no modification necessary, just lower the neck rod all the...

Hi guys Check out my post #455 in the Stagg mega thread. I replaced mine and am happy. Almost no modification. You can actually leave the original bar part that the string winds onto in place, and just change the winders

Re tuner replacement keys! Bingo! I think I've just answered my own request. Found these keys on the Gollihur web site. Look near perfect $57 + shipping for a set Invalid Link Removed Anybody tried these out? Add quote ... "These excellent quality tuners are the stock machines used for one of...

New tuning keys Dang, I just had a stupid accident and my bass fell over. No neck break but did bend a tuning key slightly. Tried to straighten it back and it just snapped off. Nasty pop metal. So, I would prefer to upgrade all of the keys / tuning gears to a higher quality. Does anyone know of...

Excellent!!! Barry

Hey sixway, broken neck sucks I was under the impression the neck was maple. Clearly from the detail, it doesn't have the tight almost flawless grain characteristic of the wood unless it was made from a bad piece with dry rot Just a heads up, my built in preamp went a few months after purchase...

Aahzekiel, Glad it works for you! I bought a used Yamaha snare drum stand from a local music store and tried it out. (posted it on the Stagg mega forum) Many thanks to whoever suggested that too! Couldn't refind the link to give proper credit. Anyway, that stand with a little persistence...

Thanks so much to whoever it was in this forum that had the stand idea. Tried to find the original thread for your deserved credo's but couldn't find it... Anyway- the idea for a Stagg stand is to use the bottom of a snare drum stand. I bought a used Yamaha one from a music shop for $30. I...

Hi Guys, I recently bought a Stagg eub which is a bit similar in style and sizing to the Ergo. The Stagg measures 63 x 5w x 5 1/2h" It came with a properly designed eub gig bag (Soft plush lining, 2 velcro parts pockets, bow pocket etc) I'm not a retailer or anything, but I don't need the bag...

Hi Guys, I may have a case solution for you. I recently bought a Stagg which is similar in overall style to the ergo. It came with a pretty nice gig bag. Made for the eub so is fully lined has 2 velcro parts storage areas, even a place for a bow. My Stagg is 62" long, 5" wide and about 5...

Oops new to this! Sent before I was ready Seems the Eminance only has a hard case for the removable neck models. Odd eh, as they need the protection a little less than the fixed necks Internal width of Stagg case is only 5" so definitely wouldn't do B

I checked out the eminence site to see if the Stagg hard case might fit. http://www.gollihurmusic.com The Eminance looks amazing! Seems the

Hi Guys. I am absolutely new to the upright bass but am fulfilling my dream of playing one. Only had the Stagg for a few weeks but it is perfect for me -size, looks, sound and price! I noticed that a few Staggs have been damaged but no one has mentioned the hard case option (which I bought...
