oh
I took a pic of the Kramer, but can't seem to upload. Does it have to go to an external site? Flickr/photobucket etc?
Got a gig to go to- I'll try again later.
The Kramer is a Stagemaster stansard in (now very off-)white. Has had Reflex Red-Dot pickups added by previous owner (a mate) which are a drastic improvement over the originals.
I've had it for 20 odd years. -
Hi
I have a Stagg EDB-3/4 that I picked up to play a gig on Tresco (Scilly Isles) as we were going by helicopter and my proper bass wouldn't fit. It was great- did the job. I felt a bit silly with a teeny stick, and it could have done with decent strings, but hey, not half bad!
I recently had a go on an Aria SWB, and couldn't tell the difference. It seemed to be the same instrument. Apart from the extra coil pickups and...price tag- the Aria is three times the money!!!
Anyone have any experience or opinions?
Am I missing something?
I was going to offer the Stagg for sale, but maybe not now!
BTW got another gig on Tresco, but this time we're taking the boat and the proper bass! -
Su-bloody-perb
Thanks for that. Top. -
Hi guys, thanks for the messages.
Dom, I'm just to the east of Taunton. Am in Wellington quite a lot- my main band is based there (Thunderbridge Bluegrass Boys).
I'll post a pic of the Kramer as soon as I've taken it.
Cheers! -
Hi
Just joined up- based (sic) in Somerset, play mainly double bass these days. Been bassing for nearly 25 years (eek)- on a Kramer ali-neck for most of that time, but the double bass has brought a new lease of life, and a range of music closer to my heart, ie acoustic. My old man was a double bassist too, though he played classical- I'm more about folk (but with a smidgeon of metal thrown in to confuse the issue.)
Bluegrass is the main thing these days- a constant challenge to keep it interesting and not just root'n'5. Sometimes the rest of the band tell me to stop being so 'weird' (ie interesting ) Oh- recently built teachest-style bass out of half an old copper hot water tank!
Gear....

All sorts of other bits in the collection from years of junk accretion, same as all of you I expect!
Cheers!

How much?
