The fact is that you don’t see too many bassists out there playing upright basses anymore. I can’t help but think the 
reason is that they are just so darn expensive. That really has to be one of the main reasons. Think about it, most double basses or upright basses start at least a thousand dollars and go up from there. Who on the planet can afford that during our current economic condition? Not too many folks to be honest. Here is the solution for you all wanting to take the leap into the world of the upright bass while keeping your mitts on a lot of your savings. Allow me to present to you the Stagg Electric 4-String Upright Electric Double Bass with Gig Bag. Slightly shorter than a full scale upright, the Stagg Upright is what you would call a 3/4 scale bass but lacks none of the tone of a full length model. With extraordinarily high fidelity, the Stagg EDB electric double bass features a noise free sound reproduction that captures the pleasingly woody aspect of an acoustic double bass. The EDB series also features a headphone out for silent practice as well as a CD/MP3 input to play along with your favorite artists. This thing is designed to accommodate every player looking at getting into playing the traditional upright style bass. It is constructed of solid maple for incredible tone and excellent durability and includes heavy duty gig bag with two inner compartments for accessories and an outer compartment for bow. If you have been wondering when the right time would be to step into the world of the double bass, the time is now! The price is perfect, so what are you waiting for?
