just ordered my first upright

[artisan]

well i've never posted in here before
although i have been browsing & talking myself into buying something.

i din't want to spend much on an EUB just incase i don't get on with it so was initially looking for a used one,but this lunch time i noticed that Norman's are doing the Stagg EUB34 for £249.95 with free delivery.
Before i knew it my Barclaycard jumped into my sweaty hand & i had bought one,I just hope i like it when it gets here.
I've never played an upright before so it should be an interesting experience for me after 33 years of playing bass guitar.

Good stuff. You'll really enjoy it.

You should get in touch with Geoff on here for some intro lessons to avoid any injury.

Just find his profile and PM him. He'll probably read this post as well. Here's a link [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/410-geoffbassist/"]http://basschat.co.uk/user/410-geoffbassist/[/url]

I had the P for a little while but a deal came up for a Stingray so I swapped. Glad the Al is working out.

Wow, that's cheap. Is that a sale price do you know?

i'm not shure to be honest but it does seem to be a bloody good price
