[/quote] As it turns out, I'm not going away this coming weekend. So, when's a good time for us to meet up for a handover? Just about any time is OK with me, apart from Sunday when I'll be sailing.

solo4652 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Slightly furtive-looking handover completed in car park at Macclesfield train station, as captured by a pressganged bystander. I'm on the left, chrismuzz on the right. Sounds like chrismuzz is going to make The Baton earn its keep. [attachment=131851:001.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided not to go into detail about what we were up to apart from saying; "It's alright, we're not nicking it or anything...", which, of course, only made it look even more shifty.

chrismuzz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The Baton in action! Managed to get a pretty sweet sound out of it, using this thing on the gig next Saturday shouldn't be an issue [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKOXyFuCHvM&feature=youtu.be"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKOXyFuCHvM&feature=youtu.be[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly middy! And your playing is really sweet! My first bass was a second hand Stagg jazz bass (which i stupidly paid £90... SECOND HAND! Jesus christ, Milt!) and the neck on it was just like a maple baseball bat. Not good maple, and not a good neck, especially for a beginner! But, it did sound pretty good. That's where Staggs redeem themselves i think. Keep rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get the action as low as I usually have it without fret buzz so I was fighting it a bit, but that's to be expected with such a well used bass! A friend of mine used to have a Stagg guitar which he bought for basically peanuts, and even 10 years on he still says it had one of the best necks he's ever played!

[/quote] Actually, I had a few comments on the sound of it. It may have sounded good in recording, but live it was a real beast! It didn't have the sustain of the other two I was playing that night but it was really punchy and aggressive I'll figure out how to get the boxes open and count em out later on. I'll leave a little in each one though so they're still nice and jingly for the next relayer It's here for the taking whenever anyone wants a piece of it!
