Just thought I'd give you a free bump here,
and to anyone thinking of delving into the world of DB
this is a good place to start
That's a lot of instrument for the money
I bought one about 18 months back, and it's what convinced me to buy an acoustic DB
I don't use my Stagg so much now, but it's a handy spare
and folds down to a very neat, portable size
If you're reading this, and thinking about a spare, portable DB
or just thinking of dabbling - go for it!
Shame you didn't get on with it Mike.....

Thanks for the bump. Yes, it is a nice thing, and sounds great but I just can't get my hands round it. I have a fair amount of fretless in my band's set, with lines I worked out long before trying to transpose them to the EUB. Funny old thing, but something tells me the two instruments are fundamentally different, and you can't *easily* just lift and shift rhythms and lines from the fretless to the EUB. Not sure about going the other way, but that would require me to develop lines on the EUB first, which I probably won't ever do, not least if I sell the Stagg!
