    I use it for a few months now ... This is the first and only model I tried, with Honey finish, it is fun to watch. It sounds pretty good even though we know in buying this kind of instrument, you do not buy a bass but the feeling of having a bass. Value / pretty decent price but a few problems though: I can not screw one of the supporting elements of the bass (which did not seem to really serve but good). As mentioned in other reviews, the headphone output spits. But otherwise, with octave and a good amp set properly, you get a cool sound quickly ... A buy to learn to play fretless and have a semblance of his bass ...

    to start or play at night

    bought there almost a year, at a ridiculous price to start bass ('m already bassist).

    The sound is pretty bad, changing strings, it gets better a little with EQ, a good amp and a compressor that still manages a bit but it's still light years ahead of its d correct instrument.
    You really feel like a toy, and yet, a toy of poor quality.

    However, there has utilities this instrument:
    - To start if you're not sure you want to pay the price of a real bass, but only if you're the type to have unfailing motivation, because it takes little pleasure to play with such a non-sound quality
    - If you want to play at night cheap
    - If you want to make the bass easy to travel cheap

    in short,…

    I bought it a little over a year had joined a group type "French song / sound." I had tried the acoustics in the conservatory gale and I loved the feeling.

    We find the sensations in question at the grip, but not touched (not unpleasant nonetheless), and certainly not the sound, it will take a good amplification for well rounded and refine your sound at the same time and make more "authentic" (note the quotes) and clear!
    The original strings are strings a machine, you must change absolutely wholesale and count over € 100 minimum. I made set by my teacher, if it was not precise enough (already it is the major difficulty of the instrument!). I made a little bow, I'm not sure how to use it…

    The original strings are strings a machine, you must change absolutely wholesale and count over € 100 minimum. I made set by my teacher, if it was not precise enough (already it is the major difficulty of the instrument!). I made a little bow, I'm not sure how to use it, but it seems clear that the lack of body gives a "Raisonnance" really awful (and I can not find the harmonic terrible) and mid sounds a bit stronger than of the remaining strings (?).
    I never used the jack mp3 mini jack and the other to put a headphone jack is a disaster: a breath unbearable (pressed into the amp and it will be good.) And above, and I come to what is THE default this electric bass: the metal bar that simulates the body fulfills its office but it vibrates and produces sound parsite we hear in the sound of the bass, supports the latter do not vibrate well and . The worst is the metal rod on which the bass is pressed it vibrates and it downright slap sometimes you have to find a good support and most especially to the release and the volume knob up and down rather than gains and volume the amp against by the sub bass knob affects interesting, although it modifies the grain, but do not push too much either (saturates to 3/4). The rubber tip of the stem is really badly done, he quickly damaged, I had to replace it with a foam ball while playing on carpet.

    In short, it is very practical especially the futuristic look is nice, it is light (mention the cover is stylish, comfortable and well studied), it is to learn a bass for cheap, play in a style rock, ska and company, based more on energy and punch of the instrument on its subtlety. To play finesse, jazz or classical music that will be at the house (headphone, went through the amp, I repeat!) You really have to rely on amplification to nab a good sound.
    A purchase that I did not really regret it anyway, because it gives a way to test the bass at a price very accessible (the value for money is very good even when you know when the price of a bass) which is essential for any self-respecting bass. Contrary to what I could read here and it does not sound like a fretless not, the sound is still MUCH round. So set the rendering is still much closer to the bass.

    Quality: price, comfort (game and transport).
    Default: do not rely on the sound of the instrument itself it must be amplified.

    ideal for beginners or for less noise

    It'll be a year since I have this electric and I do not regret my investment.
    I play bass for a long time and want to spend the fretless tempted me and for that matter as much to spend on bass. Not being sure how to play and to appreciate it, I focused on the instrument the cheapest and least noisy (appart obliges).

    As Saxarba, my G string dropped me from the first tuning. So I invested in a complete game tomastik Spirocore 4/4 (for about € 160 anyway) and the quality is immediately felt.

    A big advantage for bassists or guitarists who want to put on the bass, the neck has the same markings as on a low (points at the third cargo, freight 5th, 7th freight, ...) which help the learning…

    A default remains, the vibration noise at the picnic. I did not do it but I found a solution by a bassist more informed on a forum. here's the solution:

    "Solution: it is necessary that you open the compartment behind (the large, full of one who screws ....) You accederas returned to the cavity or the pike.
    The goal is to introduce a rubber washer (like old tip spade used), at the extremity of the "chute" or out of the pike (uh, that's clear or not?) and as the pike can not be completely out, cut your puck, pass it around the pic and put it into force in the beginning of the chute.
    We just have to watch the puck does not move when you come home and spells the pike. "

    To conclude, it is the ideal bass for beginners and those who do not make noise at home! I love it to a different atmosphere in concert (its warmest and slid deep).

    I use it for a year or so.

    I have not tried many other models for the simple reason that in this price range is the only one.

    So yes, it is not a venerable centuries-bass or a shiny EUB 5000 €, but what fun!

    This Stagg to discover what is so nice with a bass.
    Play standing up against his instrument is a very different sensation of bass on its strap.
    The sound is very correct: some settings on my Markbass and presto, it growls at the slightest touch.

    Of course, there are a few finishing touches can be a little fair, like having the screw jack to the original shot had a horrible noise.

    Once done, plus no worries in a year!

    I do it again this choice with his eyes closed, I discovered a world I will not give up like that.
    Slightly more than medium will allow me to go further as soon as possible with good old grandmother, but I will not forget the instrument that has opened this world.

I know that most of the bass playing on an EUB climb on their high horse and say it's the stew made to satisfy the frustrated basseux not play on a contrebasse.Je am not of that opinion ...

There was an instrument of the type "Babybass" ... It was assumed that electric sound. end of the parenthesis ...

    I paid € 300 for OCCAZ, and for the price, after a small adjustable easel, I will not return the intrument we!
    -The interface is really great ... handling more than friendly (more on the Palatino, for example, hum!)
    The sound is super-excploitable I played on stage yesterday (a few hours after acquisition) and j ('I could very easily have a good sound. knob was two, a "volume" and "sub bass ", a bass boost ... Not common, but why not any way the micro is not the same que'une electric bass, electronics fit all ... and well balanced mix of these two pots get it on my liver sounds very nice.

    A 10-volume, sub bass to 0: sound a little hollow which emphasizes attack and finger play .. We will tell u its "closer to a acoustic bass" but this time I prefer the sound of my bass!
    Bsub-volume 10 to 10 bass: its a very inflated (see over), fairly drooling, with a whole grain both interesting. hand there is a feeling of saturation all the same.
    It is in the balance of the two button, baissont volume and by measuring the sub bass that I found interesting nuances ...
    The overall sound is deep, precise, modern (come on, admit a bit too) but a drooling chouilla made his puff.
    We also do a headphone jack (very convenient), and an MP3 input! (Go they could have a USB input anyway!).
    When you plug a jack in there, it has a blue LED that lights up. Okay, I admit, I do without!
    Everything is sold with a quality case very respectable for the price ... It was also obviously the small twist of scrap used to calibrate the hip for support.
    Here, in short, to prices there is serious ... I just almost see my position on this brand which I considered questionable ... But it seems that this Board to be simply manufactured at the plant in the Aria Lite

    Voil less than a week and I have this little low-rev filled out the rle for which I have chosen, namely to work without interfering with the bass around the family.
    I possde a traditional acoustic bass and the volume it generates (despite the installation of a damper) m'empchait to work evenings or tt in the morning. With Stagg I can work my orchestral parts in the bow and pizz carefree children who sleep.
    This is an excellent quality price. I quickly made the slender form and the "thinness". The adapter hip (which simulates the round of the double bass in the hollow of the groin) is very well. We forget so it plays its rle. Against imitation by the left shoulder is too close to the bas…

We forget so it plays its rle. Against imitation by the left shoulder is too close to the bass so that when one is playing the heel gn. I removed and I'll tinker a little closer to the board Ralite not to impede the passage of the thumb to the heel of the handle (is that clear ...)
    The sound is closer to the fretless as the grand-mre is sr. But again, I use to work with the features of orchestras in the headphones so the sound is secondary.
    One more thing, the sensors are less effective when playing in the bow pizza, but ... I mean by that there is a decrease in sound intensity.
    I do not regret this bass and I would do this without buying more hsiter and design is top (I MODEL "honey")

    I've had two months.
    I like the practical side of his hourglass, being able to connect directly to a headphone on that train and retouve the ergonomics of a traditional bass (tilting the heel of the hand and pressing the body).

    I do not like very poor quality of the strings, the shape of the bridge that does not allow the game to the bow correctly and setting the pike that moves when you play and tape inside the box (it s 'intends to registration or headphone)

    I'm on a CB Aria long ago. It was the same sound as the Stagg: Dry, safe and not singing. I also tried the basses carbon as it sounds cooler than wood. For 10 years I played on traditional instruments.

    I'm on a CB Aria long ago. It was the same sound as the Stagg: Dry, safe and not singing. I also tried the basses carbon as it sounds cooler than wood. For 10 years I played on traditional instruments.

    In detail
    - When I received it, after unpacking and assembly, I broke the G string in the agreement (and tzoing F #!). Send an email to the supplier telling me that I am not alone, that Stagg is aware and will send a new rope directly to buyers (that is).

    - After playing on three strings for a few days, I quickly saw that we had sold me the ropes ... Clothes! . I ordered a set of Thomastik Super Flexible Medium and everything is back to normal (not curl over the ropes, I was able to lower the bridge and the sound is much more homogeneous)
    If I have one advice for anyone who wants to buy the CB's faster to buy a real set of strings CB (Thomann, for example) - ATTENTION to the length of rope, 3 / 4 are too short ! Tomastik orchestra play - Spirocore 4 / 4 soft going well for jazz.

    Her measurements: the tuning fork is 105.5 cm. The length between the nut and the fixing of the rope through the trigger guard is 136 cm

    - In terms of sound, of course, it's pretty fretless bass. It was not the warmth of a true CB (a medium really sing and sustain at least two octaves). But once the strings changed, the worst is behind us.
    - The handle is a composite curve by adjusting the allen key. The lifts are good. The setting is not terrible, but with better strings are not set correctly according to his game
    - The system of internal amplification is:
    - One headphone output and line input (CD, PC or other)
    - Volume and bass / treble
    It lets you play at home without amp. To practice it well.
    - It is composed of body and two tubular extensions that are supposed to reproduce the impressions of true volume of a CB and I think it's quite successful.
    Pressing the body and the heel stable and can recall the feeling to own a classic instrument.

    It comes with a soft case of good quality and quite classy. We can store two detachable parts in closed compartments. The interior is moomoot and outside there is a pocket bow.

    - Value for money is good for my use, despite the flaws mentioned above.
    - As I only purchased to train easily and without disturbing others at any time of day and night, I do it again this choice.

    I would add that it goes out of tune more often than my CB wood tree is a shame: - °

Already the design is quite modern while being ergonomic.

I do not suffer setback for the comparison with an acoustic bass since I never had the opportunity to play, but I would only € 425, there is no better way to start the bass at an affordable price.

Moreover, like many, I am condemned to play in an apartment, and the opportunity to work with headphones and plug in a CD player or PC directly to the instrument without using a hi fi or mixer is really appreciable .

    In conclusion, I would say that even if the bass is not a Stagg acoustic instrument, it has all the qualities for those who want to start or play at home (or nepas bored on the subway or in their small car).
