Bass Buggie Setup & Adjustment1) With your bass on its side fit endpin through the plastic loop end of buggie. Using the Buggie Two Simple Adjustments:The Buggie is designed to adjust to fit any size of double-bass. There are two
adjustments that you will want to be familiar with as you set up and begin using
your Buggie. Although, you may find that your buggie is already setup perfectly
for your bass!
|
Plain and simple: excessive pressure and torque is applied to the instrument.
As a bass musician would you ever drop your bass from a height of just 3 inches
and let it land on the endpin? Of course you wouldn't! The pressure/force
from the bass falling 3 inches and landing on the endpin is very similar to the
pressure that will likely be exerted at times on your bass if you choose to use
an end-pin wheel.
How do you remove the husk from a coconut? You jam a tapered stick into the husk
and twist. The same type of force is applied to the block of a bass by an end
pin wheel: wedge on a lever + torque + shock. Don't risk damaging your
bass with an end-pin wheel.
With the DblBass Buggie there is no more force put on the edges of a bass than
is put on the bass when it is laid on its side on the floor.
The Buggie Cushion provides for extra cushioning in very rough terrains. It attaches to the DblBass Buggie body with industrial strength velcro, included with the cushion.

I have to tell you how much I love my new bass buggie. I have played bass seriously since 1993 and have tried handtrucks, bass wheels, shoulder straps and homemade dollies. This product is by far the best I have used. Lightweight, small and easy to pack, goes on the bass with the case or without. I will recommed it to my students. Thank you again.

I love my bass buggy! I have a small bass but I am a short lady, I needed some "wheels" in a bad way! Some friends got together and bought me a bass buggy for a present, it is awesome! I"m strutting around as if I had been given a new vehicle! It "saves" my back so much that it is not an issue anymore to get it in and out of the house and loaded. It's great that it "stands" while I open doors, etc. Walking up a hill is so much easier with the bass in my "hand" instead of trying to carry it and walk. A very well thought out invention!

I had to send a note after receiving my new wheels from you. I think it has given me ten more years to play the bass. I am delighted with the buggie as I thought I might have to give up playing because it was getting difficult to carry the bass around. I tried the single wheel that attached to the endpin years ago and it was useless and awkward to use. Yours is great, lightweight and practical. Thank you for a super invention.

This is just a belated "thank you" for your help in getting the bass buggie. I have been happily using it with my Violone and I LOVE it!! Quick to put on and take off, wheels that work wonderfully, instrument feels very protected and so does my back. Everyone who sees it thinks it's a really ""cool"" thing too. So maybe you will be getting more orders from the early music community around Boston.
Thank you again -

The product is the best thing for moving a bass around. I am so glad to have found your web site and the product. It certainly made life easier for me as I had to haul my bass from the van to the stage which was across a football field. Not being a spring chicken anymore, I was very pleased to be able to have the bass buggy. Thanks for a wonderful invention.

This double bass buggie is fantastic! You've saved my spine, not to mention my sanity. It's easy to put on, and easy to trundle the bass around. Makes moving a bass as easy as walking around.

Just a quick note to say how delighted I am with the Bass Buggie now that I have had a chance to use it, So easy to strap on and take off in seconds - a real boon when transporting through long Hotel corridors etc. It is absolutely brilliant. I will certainly recommend it to my fellow bass players at every opportunity.
Best regards,

Hi Andy,
I didn't take the chance to thank you for the wonderful bass buggies.
Many of my customers have been raving about it.

Wanted to tell you how much I appreciate my bass buggy. Has made life much easier ! Several fellow bassists have tried it out and are interested. Many thanks to the guy who thought it up and developed it. I especially like its ability to stand by itself while I open the door on my SUV ! Keep up the good work.

The few Buggies I have sold here have made great impressions with their new owners. No idea how I ever lived without one.

Thanks for this great product, by the way! It has nearly saved my career, as I have a back injury that has made carrying the bass a real pain.

The K.C. Strings Double Bass Buggie is an ingenious way to roll around a bass! It?s easy to attach and creates no stress on the lower block.

Where were you guys 50 years ago? I can?t believe how beautiful this buggie works. The first time I used it was at Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. Naturally, musicians are second rate citizens so we enter thru the rear & thru the kitchen. I go down a service ramp, thru 3 big rubber doors, down a hallway, up an elevator, & across the hall into the ballroom. For a 72 year old bugger, this was a cakewalk. Thanks again.

We (from England) bought the Bass Buggie a few months ago but this is the first time we have really used it properly. I am 10 and we had to park in a car park to get to my Bass lesson. My teacher thought it was really good for wheeling longer distances. It is really smooth and the video on the website is quite good for showing you how to fix it on. The steering is quite hard at first but I guess we're all learner drivers when it comes to Bass Buggies! However, I think you could make a couple of improvements to your website:
1. Put captions in or underneath the video, stating how to fix the buggie on.
2. Put some close-up shots of how to fix the bungie round the neck, since the video doesn't really show you.
But the actual product is great, and I would give it 9/10
