Winter migration of the stagg!

[William James Easton]

Well i am taking the plunge/jumping on the band wagon by purchasing a Stagg EUB in either oct/nov. Can any of you lovely lovely people recomend the best place to purchase one from over the inter web? or in a short car journey from north yorks?

I've seen the price range from 280-380. and the cheaper places (zings?) seem to be all out of stock (duh).

also if anybody knows of a double bass/eub teacher in the harogate region then please let me know.

warm regards.

Hi Rusty. I cant help with the local stuff but welcome to the brotherhood of the Stagg. I got mine from Zings back in May. Ive got to say that they were a bit of a drama to deal with and I had to send the first one back as it had obviously been damaged by being sent out to someone else. Good luck with finding a dealer tho. They seem to be as rare as rocking horse sh*t.

I'm definately tempted by one of these as well!

Comments about Zings duly noted.

Sounds Live in Newcastle seem to have one in stock. Good place to deal with.
