[quote name='alexclaber' post='548729' date='Jul 23 2009, 11:34 AM']Regarding the scale length thing, I'm starting to wonder if the sonic difference has a significant effect upon how you play? I just feel like with my 36" scale I'm playing a bit more like on a double bass, more open strings, fewer notes, a more percussive BIG note vibe as opposed to slinking about. Like the opposite of Norman Watt-Roy on Rhythm Stick. Alex[/quote] You might be right there mate. I've always been a fairly busy player and I've always struggled with longer scale lengths, particularly a home made 36" 6 string, god only knows what I was thinking Having now moved to 33" my left hand rarely feels tired and I've never cramped up once, even without warming up properly...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='548656' date='Jul 23 2009, 10:41 AM']I've not actually had much experience with chambered basses. But Enrico and Roberto have been going crazy over their latest experiment with the chambered extra deep bubinga body, so I'm not going to say no to the added benefit of this Mark[/quote] All Sadowsky basses in recent years have been chambered too - Lighter Weight - More Resonant. Can't be a bad thing surely... Eude

Hey guys, I'm thinking about parting with my Aguilar GS112 cab. It's a cracking wee cab and has really opened my eyes up to the fact that bigger isn't necessarily always better. It can produce a thunderous low end considering the size of the box. This is the one with the tweeter, so you can dial in a nice bit of high end slice or fizzle if you want too. It's and 8 Ohm cab by the way. I'm considering letting this go as I'd like to try something else, just to mix things up, but I'm sure I'll miss this little powerhouse... I've owned the cab since new, bought it September 2007, and it's had fairly light use. It has been gigged, but not even at moderate levels, only ever been used in isolation for tiny pub acoustic gigs and for stage monitoring at larger venues. I've been using it with a MarkBass LittleMark 250, which can only generate 150W at 8 Ohms at full tilt and I've never even had it beyond a third of the volume! It's in very good condition, the carpet is perfect, no dents or dings, however the plastic corners are a little scraped from use, but not badly. I'm putting this up for a couple of weeks while I go on holiday to judge interest, as I'd need to sell this before I can order it's replacement. I probably won't be able to reply to any messages or PMs from the 25th of July till the 8th of August, but feel free to fire away and I'll get back to any interested parties upon my return. These things are now going for about £385 new, so I'd be hoping to get about [b]£280[/b] for it plus postage.

Cheers, Eude -
[quote name='mcgraham' post='546597' date='Jul 21 2009, 03:35 PM']I saw a teal/green one, but it was such a deep colour it could be perceived as a number of other colours. I believe that one was a 33" scale. Robert Badoglio is a big Matt Garrison afficionado, albeit with his own sound. That bass is verrrrry similar spec wise to Matt Garrison's latest Fodera bass (semihollow body with Koa top!). Mark[/quote] That's probably the one dude. I think you're right, it could of been called any one of several "oceany" colours. Haven't seen that new bass you're talking about yet, I'll have to have a wee look about tonight. Does Matt have a W&T bass at all? Eude

Nice one dude I like the sound of the bass more and more. I take it that bass was a 33"er too? Just a guess based on the bridge position. Did you see the dark blue W&T Klimt that went through Bass Direct recently? I'm generally not into coloured basses, but man it was gorgeous! Eude

Brilliant spec mate Very jealous.... What made you go for the Zoid shape then? Or is it part of the secret? Looking forward to see the modifications anyway. Will it look anything like the one on here? >> [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50477"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50477[/url] That bass is pure sex If you'll pardon my french... One other question, the pickup, is it a neck pickup with the coils in the two different locations? Oh and what made you go chambered too? Eude

[quote name='mcgraham' post='543007' date='Jul 17 2009, 10:38 AM']Sweet. Sounds like a plan. It won't be for a little while as I'm getting married in 2 weeks (woo!). But I'll be in touch after that. Re: shorter scale instruments. I would love to blend guitar and bass into one instrument, (initial thoughts are fanned fret 32" to 29", strung EADGCFAD - seems a good idea). But I'd need to slowly figure that one out spec wise. Mark[/quote] Now that would be cool. I've been messing with the idea of a 30" six string with a swappable nut, or perhaps a zero fret and some clever string guides to allow B to C or E to E (Baritone Guitar) tuning... One day anyway, but not until this blasted recession is over... Good luck with the wedding mate Eude

[quote name='mcgraham' post='542982' date='Jul 17 2009, 10:14 AM']Well, my bro lives in Edinburgh, so next time I'm up (I'm due to visit him at some point) we could have a get together! You could check out the Klimt and I could check out your Shuker. Mutually beneficial all round! I'm happy with 34" or 33" scale. They're so similar I don't notice. What I do like about 33" scale is that it's one inch closer to 32" inch (which I'm tempted to go for on this bad boy) which makes for a shorter more manageable bass... which is one inch away from 31... etc etc. I just wish basses were as compact as guitars sometimes. Mark[/quote] I'm totally with you on that one dude! My regular basses are all gonna be 33"ers from now on, but I'm really tempted to go for a 31" or a 30" 4 string at some point. There's no reason these days that basses have to enormous and ungainly... A meet up in Edinburgh would be awesome mate! Just drop me a PM when you think you might be headed up and we can arrange some bassing! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='mcgraham' post='542949' date='Jul 17 2009, 09:50 AM']It's only an inch shorter! Honestly, I don't feel it makes much of a difference in terms of length, but there is slight drop in string tension (compared to same string gauge on a 34" scale). I don't massively observe this drop, but it is definitely there. Hopefully speaking to Enrico about this tonight so will give add an update once things are more concrete. Mark[/quote] 33" basses are the way forward as far as I'm concerned. My Shuker 6 string is a 33" as was my, now ex, Shuker J Bass. They're just that little bit easier to get about on without being noticeably shorter. I've not noticed a big difference in tension at all either, no bigger than what you would find moving between different string manufacturers... Looking forward to seeing this one develop, I'm a huge fan of W&T basses Eude

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='540146' date='Jul 14 2009, 11:09 AM']Loving it so much infact, ive even put my flea up for sale. :wacko: [/quote] Wow! That's quite a good result then mate! Well chuffed for ya Eude

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='540127' date='Jul 14 2009, 10:58 AM']I wouldnt go as far as saying capable, but it is very happy. I havent put it down in the last 3 days. absolutely loving it, the ACG pre is emense too![/quote] Glad you're digging it dude The ACG PRe is something else too innit?! So you enjoying the 33" scale? It just makes the bass so freakin' playable doesn't it! Cheers, Eude
-
I'm afraid I had to let the J Bass go, I just wasn't getting along with the Jazz Bass sound. It's now in the very capable hands of [b]Jobiebass[/b] though, so I know it'll be happy. Still got my 6 string though So I'm just a one bass guy for the foreseeable, but what a bass! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Mikey R' post='539320' date='Jul 13 2009, 01:40 PM']Bumping an old thread... Hey Eude, the visual balance between the smaller headstock and body looks really nice! Is this bass body the same size as a standard Jazz bass, or is it slightly smaller? If it is, how wide is it accross? I would like the same kind of proportions on my P bass. Cheers![/quote] Sorry dude, The bass is a fair bit smaller than a regular jazz bass, but the proportions are perfect. I'm afraid, for anything else, you'll have to ask [b]Jobiebass[/b] questions regarding this bass now, it's no longer mine... Cheers, Eude -
Sold my Shuker J Bass to [b]Jobiebass[/b]. Top bloke to deal with Great communication and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Cheers mate Eude

Hey Chris, really glad the bass arrived safe and sound and that you're really digging it It was tough to say good bye, but I'm glad it's gone to a good home. Enjoy Eude

[quote name='funkle' post='535254' date='Jul 7 2009, 10:49 PM']Free bump for Eude! Just got to play this bass - lovely instrument, 33" scale makes it easy to play. And the ACG preamp is very flexible indeed! More than I can stretch to at the moment - the missus might have something to say if I bought a 4th bass....! Good luck mate, it's a beautiful instrument. Jon Shuker does sterling work! Pete[/quote] Thanks Pete Glad you liked the bass. Was great to meet you and thanks for letting me try your Laklands and your crazy Acme cab! Cheers, Eude

Im seriously considering selling my Flea to pay for it. I never thought id ever say that[/quote] Hey bud, good to hear from you It's been a tough decision, but I'm just not a Jazz Bass guy...
