Bugger :(

Well I'm gigging on the 13th so if nobody else has anything sooner I'll have it next!

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.

I'm not sure what time I'm about on Saturday yet, but are you free Friday afternoon?

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.

Great pic! Bystander bemused by ant chance?

Yes - I think so! 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.

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 :D

Sounds really good! 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!

Thanks man :)

It's a pretty damn nice bass to be fair, very light and comfortable. 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!

Well done Chris , it might be aswell to empty the tins and send a payment to the justgiving page to cover the contents , though check with Jim first I guess . Has anyone stepped up for the next one ?
[/quote]

Yes, nice work Chris, hope you've enjoyed your time with the bass. This is a good idea RE the collection boxes. If you don't mind sitting down and counting them out that is.

I wonder where it'll head to next...

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 :D

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!

I've just emptied the collection boxes, and counted £91.47! Not a bad result at all :D I'll pop down to the bank tomorrow, then send a payment to the justgiving page.
