Double Bass CANCEL New EUB Day or "Some People DO Learn".

Hey Rickwolf, Yup, welcome to the Stagg club. After a serious back surgery I found that lugging my 3/4 up and down stairs, even just getting it out of my basement practice room, was just something that was not going to continue. I had to go lighter. As a retired senior, with very limited income, there weren’t many options. I finally settled on a Stagg, and don’t regret it for a minute. The thing you must keep in mind is that it’s NOT an upright……..it’s an electric and is gonna sound different than then upright. My choice was…….stop playing bass, or get a lighter one. Not much of a choice.
