[quote name='mr_russ' post='23119' date='Jun 25 2007, 05:40 PM']to be honest I haven't counted the frets in the pic- I asked for 22 but i just wanted to see how it would look in general r[/quote] Well it looks absolutely brilliant anyway

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='23046' date='Jun 25 2007, 03:30 PM']Its a nylon jobbie with nylon webbing, double stitching and a thick foam padded interior lined with light grey velvet. There is a divider made from the foam/velvet combo separating the basses from one another. The only downer is that the pockets aren't big enough to carry my fold up stands so I'll have to work around that.[/quote] Cheers .. so is this one you've knocked up on your hand driven Singer in the back room out of old paracutes or can you tell us the make, price, website?

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='20755' date='Jun 20 2007, 01:47 PM']I know there are builders around here like Shuker, RIM, AC etc, but whenever I start writing an e-mail to one I get a little way then have no idea what to tell them as I'm not 100% sure on what I want, apart from a singlecut! What kind of stuff do they want to hear to give a rough price?[/quote] It's s tricky one first time round.. I was a bit aprehensive when I first specced out my bass to Jon Shuker but he is great at it. So as Big Red and Largo have said just call up with the bits you know - like how many strings, headed/headless... single cut you've sussed. There's a whole lot of stuff you won't even think off til they ask but they will take you through the options and what difference things make .. Like maple or laminated necks and then what the different types of laminate will do to the sound etc.. Jon Shuker was brilliant at taking my confused ramblings and make a bass out of them and I am sure the people you listed would also be able to do that. Whateve r you get have LEDs on the side Oh and if you go to Jon Shuker's STAY OUT OF THE WOOD STORE!! OG

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='20615' date='Jun 20 2007, 10:06 AM']Cheers. Actually we might start doing what you suggest. with my other band i always go in to their PA. Its only a small one but they have a sub bass speaker as well and your right, just a small amount helps. with my main band its difficult getting them to do anything but at the last gig we all put a bit of our instruments in to the PA and it does help project but at this gig we didnt get to sound check so it was a bit over the top. We are hoping to continue to do this but by no PA support i meant large PA.[/quote] Okie kokie OG

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='20595' date='Jun 20 2007, 09:23 AM']We have three holiday camp gigs in early July, no PA support so these will be the biggest venues we are playing this year without PA support.[/quote] Hi Dave Glad the cab story has a happy ending .... Meanwhile have you tried putting a tiddly bit of bass into the vocal PA for this sport of gig (I assume you have vocals ) I do that with my band and the smallest amount of bass in the PA seems to throw it a lot furher down the hall and means the backline sound can be less loud .. Just a thought OG

[quote name='Sean' post='20430' date='Jun 19 2007, 09:16 PM']the resluts should be what you're looking for. Anyone concur?[/quote] Blige! I dated a few of the Resluts in the 80's .. They arn't still around are they?

[quote name='binky_bass' post='20106' date='Jun 19 2007, 12:11 PM']basses are allowed more than four strings![/quote] Quite right Your's looks like it has none though

As a slight aside .. are there any mainland European mags that feature basses? Don't mind which language

[quote name='lwtait' post='19710' date='Jun 18 2007, 04:24 PM']ive seen a fwe of these shuker basses on basschat, theyre really nice. im guessing theyre handmade by Jon Shuker by what ive seen from these comments.[/quote] Oooh yes There's loads of us with them

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='19741' date='Jun 18 2007, 05:19 PM']Genetic engineering has allowed them to insert the DNA from a Harley Davidson V-Rod into a donor egg taken from a Yamaha J-bass, producing this mutant zombie-axe. Normally, the aluminium sub-frame is concealed beneath a layer of synth-skin, allowing this monster to avoid detection ... until it's too late.[/quote] Wow! if Linda Hamilton is involved, put me down as interested .. OG

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='19734' date='Jun 18 2007, 05:08 PM']Not on the fingerboard, Jon, just the nitro-cellulose bits. I use lemon oil (and very seldom, too) on ebony or rosewood. I wouldn't recommend using [i]Brasso[/i] on a frequent or regular basis, just for that once-in-a blue-moon clear-off-loads-of-crud type clean.[/quote] + lemon oil for the woody bits Use actual T Cut and car polish like MER on the shiny polished bits - occasionally. It works fine on modern bass coatings. Also Planet Waves make a "mirror finish" spray for guitars which is really good too .. Not that good on the car though ...
