Nehama Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 So... my name's Nehama, and I've been doing bass for 45 years... I don't suppose I could kick it now, even if I tried. I've had some nice basses over the years, Fenders, Steinbergers, Ibanezes, et al. but I like cheap and nasty these days, that way I won't sell 'em when I'm hard up. My current bass is a fret-free Staggberger (that's a Stagg customised with the EMGs from my last Steinberger) modified and set up to perfection by Beej Guitars in Leeds. I use roundwound strings (any brand, I'm not fussy) and play through a Marshall 100 guitar rig. Oh, and my Staggberger is tuned BEAD. I don't use pedals. I am not a gear-geek, for me it's all about what, how and when you play... if you know what you're doing, you should be able to make any old plank sound good. The genres I prefer are funk-rock, jazz-funk, reggae and anything with a edge... I don't do smooth (been there, done that, got bored), life's too short. My motto: happiness is a warm bass :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki_Sixx Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Welcome and ey up right back, I'm also from Leeds! Your Staggberger sounds interesting, for some reason I always fancied having a go on a Stagg. I remember eyeballing them when I was 16 and they were tantalizingly almost affordable, plus they remind me of the ads for Stagg chilli on TV years ago! Anyway, welcome again!

Rik If you fancy dropping down to the jam sessions a Northern Guitars (every other Tuesday) or the Duck & Drake pub (every Wednesday) you might get a chance to see and hear the Staggberger in action... and to do me out of a gig :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try and pop in. Jam sessions sound cool, I wondered if there were any around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
