    EUB with bow

    in EUB and Double Bass

    Yup
    Staggs and the Eastcoast derivatives can be bowed.
    Best sound seems to be with the Bass boost up slightly (not the case, I find with pizz, I wind it right off)
    i just use an old Ashdown Perfect 10 combo and it doesn't sound bad at all.

    Stagg!!!!

    I Bow mine and its actually not too bad,
    The gap on the strings is tighter but its possible and you sorta getta muscle memory in changing the bow angle - I just practiced open dtring for a while.

    As for sound, I found out when having a lesson, that turning up the bass boost works with the bow (not much use wither finger style, though)

    and a final thought, the noisy electronics seem to be affected buy energy saving light bulbs..........as you move away the noise reduces......

    Got the natrual finish one of these about three years ago. (Work in Cologne where these are from)
    Absolutely brilliant guitar!
    The neck is very slim, seventies Jazz-like and the gloss finish on mine superb.
    Action ridiculously low and thats as received.
    Sound holds its own against a Mex Fender. (I've got one)
    The price is great just for the neck;
    I'm horribly tempted to get another ..... :gas:

    Thomann DBs any good as a first bass?

    I use a Perfect Ten mini rig and can plug a piezo (J tone) straight in with no pre amp and it sounds good.

    I use a BBE Acoustimax pre amp when going to the PA and when I was fiddling with it to get the sound I liked I realised it was exactly the same sound as just plugging the bass straight into the Ashdown, bass, mid and treble set to centre and the deep switch off gets a very nice clean representation of the acoustic bass, so plenty left to adjust tone to your liking.

    Seconded
    I use a perfect 10 with my stagg and it sounds pretty good with the EUBs piezo pickup....
    (Not the lightest of baby amps, tho............)
