Old Horse Murphy Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but a pal of mine is selling a nearly-new (1 week old) Stagg 3/4 EDB in black. Now I've been down the EDB route myself and it is certainly not for me, so I said that I would offer it up on the Forum. I'm picking it up tonight as he's going to India tomorrow for Christmas. He literally got it last week and has decided that it's beyond his capabilities!! It took him ages to track one down in the first place but I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes. It's spotless and comes with the carry bag and all original packaging. He's looking for £285 inc postage or £270 if collected from Woking. Thanks for looking Edited December 11, 2008 by Old Horse Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to do a mate of mine a favour. I'm sure if you had any mates yourself you'd understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas[/quote] That shop may list them cheaper but they don't actually have any in stock - which probably explains why Nick's mate paid over £300 from another retailer (as did I a few months ago when the dv247 site didn't have any stock then either) Very helpful +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Look not trying to wind anyone up... didn't want to put anything on my post as normally it gets taken the wrong way..... I spoke with DV and Zings recently as I was contemplating one of these and they have said they are having stock very shortly.... so If I upset anyone then sorry but I these are available at a lesser price.... I think YOUR comments are a bit childish but hey.... who am I to judge! Edited December 5, 2008 by crez5150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to your definition EDBs were 'available' then at a lesser price ... only I couldn't actualy buy one at that price. Thats why I ended up paying over £300 fromanother retailer because it was a case of 'how long is a piece of string' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just to say that I have one of these (bought from a fellow BC) and they are superb. If anyone is thinking about trying electric double bass then I can highly recommend this EDB. They are amazing value. My only comment is I think the price may be a little steep and may struggle to sell for £300 despite them being hard to find. Like you say though, if someone is willing to pay for it then good on them. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 i'd love one of these, but sadly i haven't got either the cash or (probably) the clearance from my better half, looking at my recent spending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have put a heads up to this sale in the Stagg thread in the double bass forum. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
