Re: Curious
My Bamboo SB8 4ths is probably right behind your Bagman . My Padauk grand has been holding up nicely in the opposite environment you dwell in. Never had a Bamboo, we’ll see.

Re: Curious
However Emmett was constructing Bamboo Sticks in '08, mine is very resilient to temp/humidity changes. I think. Hasn't been out of the room for much of it's life, but considering New Jersey weather (If you don't like the weather, wait 15mins.) she's pretty stable. I do notice though, when I pick her up to tune her, if she's ALL #or-, I give the truss (single) a twitch.

BTW all...the DHL log jam has flowed. New Stick arrived today!

Re: Curious
I’m just over 12 months waiting for a 12-string railboard. Hoping to get it before year’s end!

Re: Curious
Just got an email from Jeff today notifying me that my Stick is finished and ready to go. I've been patiently waiting all this time (ordered it in 3/21) but now I'm super-hyped up and it can't get here fast enough now heh.

I've owned one (actually two) before. I don't know if that helps or hurts the patience waiting for my new one. I traded for a megatar a few months back. It is strung like a bass in 4ths + melody in 4ths rather than the reverse fifths of the stick. I just couldn't get into it. Thought it would be a good way to practice while I wait, but I much prefer the stick's tuning. Will see if I can find a buyer once my stick is ready.

Yep, first Stick. 10-string, rosewood, Stickup, matched reciprocal tuning, white pearl dot inlays, chrome tuners. I went with light gauge strings; on guitar and especially bass, I prefer extra-light strings as I really like to bend and twang 'em.
