Oi! I'm not bloody middle aged, funny or serious! Got quite a high post count though

Buy a squier when you arrive in croatia, play gig. Sell squire, leave Will probably work out cheaper

Yesterday but I didn't get chance. I'll try and get it done today

When you bought the Markbass what did you try it through? Did you like the sound of it then?

[quote name='The Hat' timestamp='1364286959' post='2024224'] Having started learning the guitar about 5 months ago I thought I'd also start to learn the bass aswell. With the guitar I can manage a finger per fret and play scales etc, but on the bass it's massively difficult to get a finger per fret. Anything from the 6th or so aintoo bad but as for frets 1 to 5 is nigh on impossible to stretch the fingers. Is this just a right of passage I've got to go through ? [/quote] Unfortunately so, you could try learning songs which would be near impossible without finger per fret to force it into habit. My song for that was "Angry Again" by Megadeth

Cheers!

Possible silly one, have you checked yout using the right speakon socket?

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1363983278' post='2020641'] Hi, I had a TC BH500 (which I believe is similar to the classic but with a more traditional, and heavier power amp) and this was paired with a BC 210 and 212. It was monster loud and had quite a few useful features. [/quote] The BH heads and BC cabs are part of their 'budget' line. The RH and RS being their premium. They're fairly different in my experience.

Just so you know, I think he only has "consultation" type visits on thursdays and "setups etc..." on saturdays IIRC http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/contact.html

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1363955904' post='2020085'] Jens used to publish prices but because he sells so many instruments outside of € Zone it got really complicated dealing with overseas enquiries and fluctuating exchange rates. If you request a price on anything through his site you'll get a response inside 48 hours (usually faster). [/quote] Yeah but I have no intention of buying anything in the near future

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1363955364' post='2020067'] Raptor is the most expensive of Jens' basses (apart from some Artist models). Dependent on exchange rate they start at just over £6,500 for a 4 string. The Cora is the lowest priced with a Roya about £100 more (it has more complex electronics) and the R8 another £75 on top of that. [/quote] It would be pretty nice to have an actual price list on his website, not that I'm in the market at the moment but still basic prices for each range and then the additional prices for extras (within reason)

Yep, agree with the above. My thought is if you can't automatically pick one then don't personally

Truckstop have you been watching storage hunters?

The sound is consistent across strings just lacks a bit of sparkle

The TC gear is excellent, I'm planning on selling mine on soon though mainly because I've never had any heavyweight gear and want to try something else. Here's what I can tell you about the disadvantages of the TC RH450 that I've found during my ownership.[list] [*]The volume knob... past the halfway point doesn't really do anything, it's not a huge deal but it does mean a minute change can have a huge difference on volume [*]Top end roll off, 80% of the time I don't miss it but at other times it does bug me (but then my ACG does have a very lively top end [*]It has it's own sound, if you told like it you're pretty screwed [/list] Advantages:[list] [*]It is LOUD! [*]Very versatile EQ if you disregard the top end roll off and 3 x saveable presets [*]Great built in tuner [*]Very good / Very nice sounding DI [*]Good but simple compressor [*]Tubetone can add necessary grit (although it doesn't get gnarly enough for me) [*]It's very very light [/list] So there you are

[quote name='mSz' timestamp='1363875512' post='2018741'] [/quote] Haha, I see you're on 3rd. We're opening, it'll be the fourth time I've played with them (3rd practice tonight). I'll be the guy with a huge 6x10 cab and itty bitty teeny weeny amp come say hi

Just a thought but have you tried out Peavey gear? I sold on my Millenium BXP because the neck was too thin for me but with a new price of £110 quid it was a great little bass. Pretty too... Obviously look higher up their scale if you can etc..

[quote name='mSz' timestamp='1363871887' post='2018673'] I'll be there! [/quote] You're not in one of the bands playing are you?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1363871257' post='2018663'] I relinquish my £5. [/quote]

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1363871125' post='2018655'] You are John Hall and I claim my £5. [/quote] John Hall wouldn't hide in the bushes... he might try to sue the bushes though

It will now you've told people about it

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1363862683' post='2018479'] Sounds nice matey! [/quote] I may see about getting the neck profile to be similar to my ACG too

It looks like my MIM p bass is going to get pimped up soon I've been in touch with Mr Shuker and the spec is currently looking like the below [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] 34" Scale[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] 20/21 frets[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] maple neck[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] flame maple board[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] 2 way truss rod[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] carbon fibre reinforcement[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] black block markers[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] black f/board binding[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] jumbo fretwire[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] brass nut[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] MOP side dots[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] black headstock and neck back[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] To go on this (will have a MOP plate, that I have on it atm) [sharedmedia=core:attachments:4697][/size][/font]
