 Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Hey there. I just found this stick for sale and am planning on picking it up on Thursday unless you guys give me a good reason not to.  It'll be my first stick and though it's not the bamboo/ACTV-2 I wanted, it'll get me started now. As I understand it with the Stickup I'll need a preamp? I can guess that a twisted neck would be very bad - is there anything else that couldn't be easily fixed by Emmett?   Thanks!

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Jump on it! That's a great instrument for a really surprisingly low price! It has all the newest features; Rails, Flaps, truss rod, etc. You couldn't ask for much better than that. And the padauk is a gorgeous wood! I wouldn't worry about a twisted neck or anything like that. This Stick has all the components that make maintenance and setup easy. Go for it!

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy OH man
That is Beautiful!!!
Get it if you can. And my offer of givin you a few pointer stays. Are you drivin to PA?
or havin it shipped? If you bring it by i can show you a few setup tricks but really it's nothing you can't learn on your own.
good luck
Brett

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Cool, Brett, thanks! I'd definitely appreciate that. I'll be driving to pick it up but I'll be in the area anyway.
Woohoo!!

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Looks really nice! Paduak wood? Looks very similar to my Paduak Grand in color - and it seems to get better looking as it ages.
If I might ask - about where in PA are you going to be?

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Great lookin' Stick, nice find! I been hunting for a good deal on a 10 string too, lemme know if you change your mind and decide not to get it But what's all this about stickups needing a pre-amp?

You can play a Stick with a Stick-up pickup just fine without a pre-amp but it sounds much richer when played through one. There have been other discussions about this in other threads that talk about it in a more technical way.

Re: Want opinion on used Stick I think I'll buy Thanks '88. I've seen several threads dealing with the pros and cons of various pre-amps, it's nice to know that these are just personal choices rather than requirements. This forum is great
