Hi there
Just registered and have spent a fascinating half hour reading everyone's comments about the Stagg EDB. I have been a bass player for twenty years and have mainly played a fretless 4 string Stagg bass guitar for the past four years. It's been a good, basic instrument that has served me well.
While I was playing at a local jazz club just before Christmas, the visiting guest band's bassplayer did a couple of songs on a Stagg EDB 3/4. I fell in love with its looks and sound and had a play on it after the gig. I've recently taken delivery of my own Stagg EDB and am having a lot of fun getting used to it. (About £270 from Zings).
I normally play my bass guitar sitting down so I have been amazed at the freedom standing up has given me. My real reason for this posting is to ask if anyone has any tips for transition players like myself. I still find it a little strange playing in an upright position and find myself looking at the fretboard to check my finger positions more than I do with my bass guitar. Any helpful suggestions?
