Re: Tom Hamilton's Chapman Stick for sale
IMO.. Stick is a creature of its own.a lot of the pros approached it like no problem (cool man),yeah right.. Zawanul,Daryle Jones,dropped it like a hot potato to name a few. Emmett said Stevie Wonder came by his house to try one out and buy one ,he left and never came back.Stevie Wonder can make music out of a broom.thats way the stick is shunned in so many circles.it takes patience, time and tenacity. so I don't stray off to far on the post, Hamilton was no exception.$1500. then send it to Grace (who is a expert) for a overhaul. might be a long thread,IMO.

Well, I have to listen to the whole album to find out on which song he played a note or two on the Stick. Yep, I confirm it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Live ... mith_album)#Personnel I remember an old interview where Tom Hamilton said he used the Chapman Stick in a strange way: Attachment: IMG_20230322_161326[1].jpg I'm translating the beginning: Quote: In was on "Kiss Your Pass Goodbye" but I didn't play it the normal way. I took a drum stick, added Gaffa Tape around, and use it to hit the strings. Actually Steven Tyler striked the strings while I fretted notes with my left hand.

Re: Tom Hamilton's Chapman Stick for sale
Yeah, I saw that sad, sad bass string pushed off to the side The little peg that says Aerosmith on the back of the headstock is oddly enticing, if only I were a bigger fan of Aerosmith.

Re: Tom Hamilton's Chapman Stick for sale
Don't discount what someone might pay who is looking at this through the lense of a "collector". Sounds kind of dumb (yes ... to me as well) but you never know. I was in a band that recorded and sold a one song cassette with a pretty successful rap duo. I've seen those cassettes sell on EBay for as high as $1000usd. At the time you used to be able to download the tune for $0.99 on the internet but the duo's fans considered it a rare release and wanted the artifact that was the cassette with the printed label. Crazy!
