Stagg EDB-3/4 VBR contrabbasso elettrico
First off, I want to say that at the end of the day, this instrument sounds fine. That said, there are numerous issues with this instrument, and Stagg in general. I would say not to buy this online, and understand that what you are buying is CHEAP.
First off, when I received the bass, it had a massive crack on the back. Does not affect playability, but basically I bought a well used instrument worth a fraction of what I paid for it. Secondly, there is a chip on the side of the fret board- again not affecting playability.
Third, there is an undocumented issue with the leg that causes it to rattle. After several months of sending emails to Stagg, finally they told me to buy a screw and insert it into the back of the lower body. I don't know why this screw is not included, but I got one (time = money).
Forth, the electronics are CHEAP and odd. I don't trust them to be honest.
Fifth, Stagg really didn't honor their warranty. I have dozens of emails to Stagg as well as to the store where I bought the bass. Stagg actually accused me of dropping the instrument and then trying to make a bogus claim. Since I video'd the opening of the box, I sent it to them- that shut them up real quickly, but they didn't apologize.
The bass is cool, it sounds good, and people in general love it. The thing is that the components are cheap and the company is pretty lame. Not American-style service.
If you do buy this, get a stand otherwise you'll always be worried about it falling over.
