BigRedX Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Really nice looking [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330583886564&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_52172wt_1108"]Staccato MG Bass[/url]. Unfortunately it appears to be in Japan so there's going to be international shipping and import taxes to add to the price... :-( Quote
Mr H Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Reminded me of this clip from [i]The Tube[/i], featuring a Staccato bass, a Staccato guitar (momentarily) and - bless 'im - Mitch Mitchell... Quote
BigRedX Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for post that Mr H. Nice to see these instruments in action. Wayne, I didn't really image in would be your style. However it's certainly mine. If I had the cash spare at the moment, I'd be considering making this bass an exception to my "no more 4-string basses" rule. ray57, because the tuners are at the bridge the string run angle at the head is less critical than normal. However if I was going to buy I'd be asking questions about the E string nute, and the G string bridge saddle (which worries me more). Quote

Apart from the news of Pat Townshend's passing the website doesn't look as though it's been updated in a long time. However I've sent them an email so we'll see... Quote
