    Double Bass Brand new just-out-of-the-box Stagg eub

    I value your opinion, as your posts on Staggs were very informative when I was researching the purchase of one. However, I play mine, as received, regularly, without issues. Silent headphone practice when I'm up too early to play DB; I've also gigged with it occasionally. Works fine in both...

    Double Bass Possible Kay Bass ID help?
