Stagg EUB - extensively modded. £300 - *SOLD* £300 Benfleet, Essex

My cull continues.

 

I've had this for ages but in all honesty I am unlikely to ever use it again. 

 

I have adapted it to my liking. 

 

I moved the tailpiece so it takes standard strings instead of just the Stagg ones.  I put a gorgeous set of black nylon ones on that cost a lot of money - I believe they are Innovation Rockabilly - which feel, sound and, most importantly, look totally fabulous.   

I have adapted it to be played on a stand as per NS Design.  The stand is relatively lightweight tattoo arm rest  but perfectly stable. 

I removed the end pin - often a source of annoying noises and now reduced the weight a fair bit. 

I shielded the cavity which got rid of hum. 

I include in the sale a rarely encountered hard case, made of unobtainium, which I have beaten up a bit so it all fits nicely inside.  168cm long, if that helps.

I include the end pin, 'arms', a bow (!) and original gig bag which hasn't quite fallen to bits yet. 

All mods are reversibe if that is what you want to do - I realise one man's improvements are another man's train wreck.  

Somewhere I have the Stagg double bass/EUB stand but I can't immediately put my hand to it.  If I find it in time I'll include that in the sale.

 

I'd say it is as nice as one of these can be, really - I have managed to polish the turd!  If you fancy dipping your toe in the EUB water this is perfect.  

 

Asking £300 all in, collected from Benfleet in Essex.  Which I reckon is a MASSIVE bargain taking into account the strings and hard case.  prepared to meet within a reasonable distance but absolutely no courier.

Interesting...

I've been considering dipping my toe in EUB waters, this looks like a decent package. 👍

You've done everything to this that I should have done when I had one three or four years ago!  I hope your sale goes through - it's an absolute bargain!
