Staccato Mg Bass (IM Jun 86)

muzines.co.uk

The Staccato Mg Bass impresses with its innovative design and hi-tech features, like the magnesium alloy body and active electronics, offering a wide range of tones. However, its unconventional aesthetics and ergonomic challenges, such as being neck-heavy and awkward for seated play, may not appeal to everyone. While the instrument showcases superb sound quality and sustain, its unique design might be polarizing. Potential buyers should appreciate its cutting-edge technology and be prepared for a learning curve in playability. Overall, it's a mixed bag: groundbreaking but not without flaws.

This particular bass was seen in the UH ! All Night video, This bass was very unique in terms of construction, the neck was made out of magnesium and a fiberglass body, i continued on my research on this bass and discovere that it was a pure custom job for gene. Gene had played the MG model with a further custom touch of EMG pickups, as we all know he has been a long time proponent of EMG.

The Stacatto MG was crafted in Norfolk, England.

This was one of the more crazier lookin basses i think gene ever used. i havent seen any other production than the video that this bas was seen in..

"This is a very rare instrument, as only about 200 were ever made. Bill used a Staccato bass in the music video for the Rolling Stones single "One Hit (To the Body).""
