That Shuker!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1456533151' post='2990170'] Going to get my noodle down this weekend! [size=2]That sounds somewhat rude.[/size] [/quote] Oooer!

The best bass I've played was only made last year. And I've played a few old instruments. Including a 58 P-bass which was easily the worst bass I've ever played in every respect.

I'm selling one of mine just because money has became too tight to really consider keeping it

Money no object I would probably go for a Carl Thompson or a custom Dingwall Z3

I kind of like the fact that they take a few months sometimes. Gives me something new to look at over a longer period. Rather than just reading it once then that's me done.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1456009711' post='2984565'] Best advice I was ever given was "if you can hum it, you can play it". [/quote] I've never understood that phrase. I can play a lot of things that I can't hum... ...I can't really hum anything due to my ridiculously crappy voice/throat.

I usually just say I play bass. Either of the above work though.

I couldn't play that...but it does sound like ass. I admire the ability however.

I think the Stingray with the yin-yang finish is much nicer looking than the Fodera.

"Enjoy it."

I have had most success with companies via Twitter. Although posting on their Facebook page is worth doing. Linking to this thread is worth doing too. All publicly of course.

There is quite a number of videos of Victor Wooten on YooToob with a fair amount of cock ups. Everybody messes up from time to time.

My justification is that I like having nice things.

Back when I had a jazzman I had a similar issue and found that the pole pieces were just too close to the strings. Adjusting the pickup height sorted this right out.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1455735404' post='2981975'] probably the easiest member to replace in any band is the rhythm guitarist, 10 a penny [/quote] This.

That's going to be rather classy looking. Look forward to seeing it progress

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1455471233' post='2979376'] Have you considered guitar? Strings are zingy & cheaper. [/quote] Yes. however it turns out I'm even worse at that.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1455441935' post='2979038'] Next time you have a little money for strings, try flatwounds. They don't suffer from this issue. Though they don't sound like roundwounds either. [/quote] Yeah...the reason I was boiling them was because they sounded like flats instead of rounds. The moment a string loses its zing I feel the need to replace it

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1455291847' post='2977908'] Someone who spends more time on forums or watching Youtube demos of gear than they do practising their instrument? [/quote] Again, that describes me...

I used my ACG at a gig the same day I got it because I was so excited to use it. Part of me is glad I did and another part of me realised very quickly that it takes at least a few days to properly figure out how to use a filter preamp that has 6 different tone control knobs.

[quote name='spyder' timestamp='1455281609' post='2977739'] Unfortunately I'm the other end of the country. If you ever pass you are welcome to try my Elwood 4a. [/quote] Thanks for the offer I'm headed down Birmingham on Sunday but still quite a way away unfortunately!

Sorry to be a bit cheeky with this post but I've became rather curious about the Maruszczyk Elwood 5 string basses over the last few weeks to the point where I'm actually considering selling my Dingwall to get one but I've never actually played one. Are there any owners near Glasgow/surrounding areas who would let me try theirs? Normally I wouldn't ask but I don't know how else I could try one and I don't really want to sell a bass to fund it then realise I don't like them! Will provide biscuits. Thanks Cameron
