ambient Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Anyone tried one ?] They look really cool. I've fancied a Stick for ages, looking on the Chapman stick website, they have a special offer on at the moment with the new Railboard stick. It's made of aluminium and looks amazing, but I do like the wooden ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The Railboard has been available for a while now & is proving to be pretty popular with the Stick community. Best bet is to go & have a look at what people are saying about them on the Stickist forum. Not sure if there are actually any in the UK yet. Haven't been on the forum for a while as I recently sold my Grand Stick. The same as with the wooden & graphite Sticks - if you want to try one you basically have to make the leap of faith & buy one. It's not like trying a new bass or guitar where you can get a good idea about it fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no a great deal of difference price wise between a new Stick and a Railboard, I like the wooden ones, but the aluminium ones look very cool.

Kevin Dean Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I contacted them several times & they never bothered to reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet is to give them a call & speak to Yuta (Emmett's wife), she's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Phone them. They are great people to deal with but a bit old fashioned when it comes to email. I know- it's the 21st century but there you go! Cheers Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
