Jonnyboy Rotten Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I quite like it - Can't fathom why on earth he decided to leave the Stagg badge on it, much less, relocate it to near the pots. Kinda ruins the magic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The word springing to mind is 'Contraption'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The original Steely Dan perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 A bit of a "Heath Robinson" if I remember the term right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 You are SO not going to play this sitting down. I have to say that I love the over-sized cogs on the tuners ... that's an idea with some mileage in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1449649794' post='2925458'] You are SO not going to play this sitting down. [/quote] Play it? I would just hang it on the wall as a piece of modern art. It probably sounds like sh*t anyway with those strings and pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It takes a lot of hard work to make a Stagg worse that it originally was - hats off to the guy for succeeding in that respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Derrick Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm very lukewarm on it. It doesn't have any flow as a design. Just looks like he covered it in Superglue and dipped it in the brass bits barrel. I've got a Steampunk bass in the works myself. Based on a Hofner Violin bass, because it's already 'Edwardian' looking... The main priority should be retaining it as a playing instrument or, as Pete Young said, it's a piece of hanging art.
