Maxcat Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 So the elusive Stagg has finally turned up. Linus was right. It is stunning in the transparent red.One problem that I have is that when Im digging in a wee bit to the e string it pops out of the bridge groove. When I say pops, it explodes. Does anyone else have that problem or am I being a touch industrial. Also will there be a problem if I just deepen the groove a little with a file? Thanx in advance for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxcat Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Problem solved. Went at it with a rat tail file. Faint heart and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxcat Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanx Linus. It is a lovely deep red. Already had two guys come up thinking it cost about a grand. Auditioning it in front of the rest of the band tonight for the first time and it might just get an airing at the jam we go to after rehearsal. Not all that accomplished yet but its pretty forgiving on the intonation front. I have no idea how high the action should be but am bashing away regardless at the hawsers like a good un. Did you or OG mess around with the set up at all or did you leave it as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxcat Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 On second thoughts that last one should probably have been a PM. One of them on the way :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, where is your jam??[/quote] Tuesday night is in Upper Hale near farnham (Upper Hale Working mens Club) and we are hosting a night in The Lion Brewery in Ash on Thursday night. If your interested Ill get the full address to you. Didnt play the Stagg in the Jam, but the band stopped playing mid way through the beasts first song in rehearsal cos it sounded so good. Not me you understand, just the Stagg. Its going to do very well I think. Let me know if you want the full address. Kicks off at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just in case you missed it, I've found my Hurcules GS414B neck grabber stand works for the Stagg on stage (as long as your guitarist doesn't walk into it carrying a cab; Doh!) Anyway, Mark a Bass Direct (poptart) has them for £20 and has offered to ship it free for BC members .. pm him to get the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey Maxcat, can you post a couple more pictures of the stand, especially how it sits near the bottom of the stand. I can't see if you have the end pin extended or not. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the end pin is fully extended but just clears the floor by about a cm. Old Git has definitely got this to work perfectly. Cant take credit for the pictures already posted cos they are OGs but Ill take some close ups. Did you get my PM re the tripod stand?

OldGit Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My stand pics are here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=16794&view=findpost&p=177631"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=177631[/url] It's hanging from the stand's grabber head using the side prong. The pin does not touch the ground You need to set the height of the stand so the pin does not touch the floor. That's key so it has no pivot point. If it is resting on the floor and leaning on the stand the high centre of gravity will push it over. I used this on stage for a normal gig last night - a stage made up of boxes with some movement during lively bits .. It was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks orange in the pics but is the deep red. Or it could be the subtle mood lighting in my Man Barn. Started out as a shed but I got carried away.
