  1. Believe me I've thought about it
  2. I have a Shuker jazz and its awesome. I just wish I had the money to buy this one
  3. Up for sale is my tascam bass trainer. Excellent piece of kit with a load of useful features [url="http://tascam.com/product/mp-bt1/"]http://tascam.com/product/mp-bt1/[/url] The unit is I'm excellent condition and boxed with no marks our scratches, it still has the protective film on the screen! Only selling due to lack of use. I'd like £80 including postage. I'll post pics later as I'm in work at the moment
  4. Me too
  5. Got one :-)
  6. Ah, bit too technical for me bud
  7. Since installing a J-retro into my shuker the pole pieces on my pickups have been buzzing when my fingers touched them. Dam annoying too. Earlier on I thought that if I could cover the poles the buzzing would stop. Well, out came the wifes clear nail varnish, and hey presto, job done. Thought this may be of help to someone
  8. My Shuker jazz
  9. Yeah, an ache would be more accurate Jake And Lefty, that's what it sounds like when I play it :-P . Not Thanks for the advice
  10. I'll just crack on and quit moaning then. It is a nice piece and I'm sure it'll be worth the pain in the end Thanks mate.
  11. I've just got Stuart Claytons solo bass book and in it is this piece. I've been playing it and making good progress until I played it too my teacher yesterday when she told me that it should be played with a legato feel. Fair enough I thought and cracked on with it. The problem is that in order to play legato I've got to hold the chord shapes which is very new to me and quite difficult and painful. Are there any exercises or tips to help me out or should I quit moaning and get on with it
  12. I'm thinking of getting one of these but not sure if they are suitable for bass. Has any of you guys used one?
  13. I emailed you a while back about preamp advice for my Shuker jazz, well I decided to go with the east and it was a dam good choice too. Well worth checking out mate.
  14. Chili peppers - suck my kiss Great fun
  15. I've been watching a few videos on youtube and I've noticed that some players have a scrunchie wrapped around the head of their bass. Why?

  16. I'm seen some of your old ones and you do have good taste in Basses
  17. Very nice mate. I have one myself, you'll love it. BTW, how many Basses do you own? You must have loads
  18. Quite an amazing response there guys with some interesting views
  19. Get a Shuker with a J-retro and never look back
  20. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1322324717' post='1449448'] The worth of any bass is in the way it plays to each person. Money is just the (variable) obstacle in the way of purchasing it once you've fallen in love. [/quote] Deep
  21. One day I'll have the cash to find out I'm off too buy a lotto ticket
  22. While looking around the web I came across the Ritter website. Some of these basses are absolutely stunning but is the price tag really worth it? I'm not just talking about Ritter I'm talking about all the really high end stuff. I've got a Shuker Jazz with which I've just fitted an East J-Retro which in my opinion is the mutts nuts, it's the one bass to rule them all and I am the lord of the strings. The quality of sound and craftsmanship are superb. It wasn't cheap by any means but what I'm saying is are these TOP end basses so much better that they cost in excess of 4,5,6 times the cost of my Shuker? Can they really play and sound that good?
