oldslapper Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Krappys 10 string Stick/touchstyle/tapper. [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1008.jpg[/IMG] Since getting this I have added the following to the instrument. New strings as per gauge recommended by kevin, a gig bag, a new strap, 2 splitter leads for the 2 pickup inputs, dot markers marking the Chapman Stick intervals, and a Behringer X V amp pedal (boxed and PSU) so you can make pretty noises on the treble pickup. I'll also include a sheet with Scale, chord and arpeggio diagrams so you can get playing. There are some extra dot markers so you can place them where you'd rather have them. Here's a link to Krappys web site http://www.krappyguitars.com/touchstyle.html Kevin doesn't claim to make sleek exotic instruments, so it's no Fodera in its finish. They are quirky, but functional, and they seem very popular over in the USA. This was made for the original owner to spec and the sound is great. There is at least one other Krappy owner in uk on BC who waxes lyrical about his. I paid £350 for the instrument alone, collected. I'll post this with all the above extras for £299 as I've pulled the trigger on summat else. John Edited September 14, 2012 by oldslapper

Please note: this is purely to demonstrate that the instrument exists and that it works, it is not a demonstration of proper technique or "how to play the Krappy and get laid".

It is a great price for a superb way into the world stick-ness!
oldslapper Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 Cheers Andy. Gonna offer this with a trade option. What have people got lying around that they're happy to trade for this?
