Are you an electric bassist looking to make the leap to upright? Look no further than the Stagg EDB Electric Upright Bass. Equally capable of being bowed or plucked, the bass is aimed squarely at the electric bassist new to the upright string bass. Further, this Stagg bass is a great backup instrument for the bassist looking for a portable, electric alternative to their full-sized double bass. With a price tag at about one third of what a double bass typically runs, the bar to entry has never been lower!

Want to hear it in action? Here's Owen O'Malley taking the EDB for a spin:

From Electric to Upright

The Stagg EDB Electric Upright Bass is a 3/4 scale instrument, meaning it has a shorter fretboard and less physical space in between each note. This will appeal to the electric bassists already used to a standard scale electric bass. With the 3/4 scale, you'll have an easier time transitioning to the feel of the upright, and it also means an increased level of portability. It ships with a gig bag, so you can open the box, tune up, and head right to your next gig or rehearsal. Constructed of solid maple, the bass has a full, deep resonance that cuts and shines to your heart's content.

1/4" Output for Amplified Gigs

Seasoned double bassists know all too well the pitfalls inherent to playing their instrument in a group context. Either you're too loud, or you're not nearly loud enough. When Stagg recognizes a problem, they seek an affordable solution, and the EDB Electric Upright Bass delivers. Thanks to its solid-body construction and integrated electronics, amplifying your upright bass is now as simple as plugging an instrument cable into its 1/4-inch output jack and feeding it into either a DI or your bass amplifier of choice. You'll be amazed when you hear the natural, woody tones the bass pumps out, and with the onboard volume and bass control, you can tweak the instrument's sound to whatever room or venue you're playing in. The state-of-the-art onboard electronics were designed specifically for upright bass, ensuring accurate and faithful reproduction of the frequency output spectrum. For you wood-shedders, Stagg has included two 1/8-inch mini-jacks on board. One lets you connect headphones for silent practice sessions, and the other lets you plug in your favorite CD or MP3 player to jam along with your favorite tunes.

Escape the doldrums of the low end space, and spice up your sound with the wonders of a Stagg electric upright bass. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Stagg products.

Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (22 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Stagg EDB"
Sound: Special note: this applies to both pizz and arco The Stagg EDB sounds as close to an upright as you can get in the price range. Many say that it's basically a glorified fretless, but I'd argue the sound has more of an "earthy" sound to it. Playing alone, you can definitely tell it's not a traditional upright, but in the midst of a band (jazz, bluegrass, blues, etc.) I think the normal audience member wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I sort of find the "sub bass" dial to be a nice feature, but would have preferred a "tone" dial instead. The sub bass does just as it suggests by adding more definition to your low end, but if you crank it all the way up, I think it begins to sound nothing like an upright at all. Overall, I give it an 8 out of 10. Pros: Earthy sound while retaining a very decent upright tone especially for the price Cons: Sub Bass leaves a bit to be desired Feature: While I appreciated the plastic pieces that came with the upright, I found them to be more annoying than helpful. The plastic portion that goes into your stomach feels and looks awkward while the portion that emulates the body for your left hand is higher than an actual upright forcing you to change your technique considerably. For those reasons, I don't use either and play it as an actual stick. I've still had to adapt my technique a bit since it's only my hands keeping the upright in position, but overall, I think it's worked well. The 9V battery that came with it didn't have a very long life and I had to change it after only a couple of hours of use. I'm not sure if that's universal or just luck of the draw. Pros: Slim design makes the upright very portable and manageable, Neck feels realistic albeit a different material Cons: Plastic "body" to me was cumbersome and unnecessary. Ease of Use: Plug in play, find the right EQ and you have an instant bass. Nuff said. If you've never played an upright before, there is a learning curve and don't trust the "fret markers" on the side, if anything get a tuner and correct them with a sharpie and white out if you want to use them. Pros: Extremely easy to transition from acoustic upright to this Cons: Can be difficult to total beginners but that's the nature of upright Quality: The Action was ridiculously high but that was easily adjustable. Value: Overall worth it for what you play for hands down. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with customer support or warranty issues, so I don't have a place for an opinion.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "A solid product at a great value"
Sound: Many people have complained it doesn't sound like an acoustic upright or that it just sounds like a fretless bass guitar. First of all: it doesn't sound like an acoustic ... because it's NOT acoustic! It's a solid body bass. Find an electric guitar that sounds like an acoustic without digital processing. It doesn't sound like a fretless bass guitar to me, either. I think these people are A) Not EQ'ing the Stagg properly B) Are pushing it through a bass amp that provides too much color to the sound and C) Are playing it like a BG. Proper pizzicato technique (full side of finger and through the wrist as opposed to the finger-tip methods of bass guitar) and EQ (lows, lots of mid, cut the highs.. think wood) and this Stagg sounds great. Feature: The headphone output and MP3 input are very cool, especially for students. I like being able to swing at 3 AM without disturbing my neighbors or my wife, as we live in an apartment. The support bars that are intended to simulate the body of an acoustic are a little awkward. The hip support bar is well placed but the one on the opposing side seems a bit higher than where the actual body would curve. Most omit it when they play. Ease of Use: This product is geared towards bass guitar players, it seems. Double bass is a totally different beast than bass guitar. That being, said there is a steep learning curve and I advise some instruction. A downside of this bass is without a full body you cannot balance it against yourself as you would with an acoustic, which can be a key element in double bass technique. Quality: For the price, it is pretty well constructed. It is not made of the finest woods but does the job. Like any cheap upright bass, a proper set up will be needed. Value: Nothing compares for the price. You will need to put a couple hundred more dollars into it for a proper set up and better strings, so the price is mildly deceptive.. but as I said before, this is the case with any inexpensive double bass. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them The Wow Factor: It's very cool, that's for sure! I was drawn to it the first time I saw it. Overall: This is a great product for the money and is a great start for transitioning to double bass, or is an affordable option for acoustic double players who have limited space or have difficulty traveling with it.
