Nice spec mate, looking forward to seeing this one come along

Gorgeous, welcome to the club mate

[quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1357589474' post='1925045'] It's a 6 string fretted one like this with a Delano pickup and 3 band EQ. [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/artist.html"]http://www.shukergui....uk/artist.html[/url] [/quote] Very nice! Make sure and share some pics when it's done!

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1357582983' post='1924873'] As promised... [/quote] Fantastic [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1357585190' post='1924933'] Very nice. My second Shuker should be ready in 4 weeks. Bet you can't wait for it to be finished. It's worth the wait. [/quote] What you having built mate? (sorry for derailing the thread...)

Very nice mate

Such a shame, Ibanez really had a good shot at breaking into this market properly and they've thrown it away completely with bad quality control and now by pushing cheaper products under the Promethean brand. Total wasted opportunity... Eude

That is gorgeous mate, congratulations, glad it finally appeared Eude

Congratulations mate, that bass is an absolute corker Eude

Exciting!

Very nice dude, I love a happy ending!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1355701205' post='1901699'] I priced up a singlecut with Jon, it's still in my sights, but some other business has to clear up first. I was under the impression I had to have a wood finish......he might not appreciate that I want a solid white finish now Si [/quote] You might be able to use some light unfigured wood, holly or something, a good piece of holly can look like a painted white finish...

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1355412068' post='1898091'] Just an update. I just changed my P3110 for a 5110 I found going used locally. Imo they both have the same great tone but the 5110 is VERY much louder..the other thing I noticed is the the 5110 has a better sounding aux/headphone input, played through the speaker it's very noticeable as well. More tweeter (very slight) hiss on the 5110 tho it's not bad and hopefully wouldn't be heard for recording, you can also if you listen very carefully hear the cooling fan going on and off with the mute engaged. As I said I think you get the same kind of punchy tone from each but way more headroom with the 5110. The P3110 was the best small combo I'd personally ever heard, you just get more with the 5110. I have stacked mine with a 112 and it's easily loud enough for anything I think I'll ever be doing. A bit overkill for home practice but I'll drag it out to play sometimes. [/quote] Glad you managed to settle on this mate. I have a very similar set up, Promethean 5110 and and EAD Foundation 112. It's plenty for most stuff, anything louder there'll be a PA anyway! I really really like the headphone out sound too, it sounds fantastic with good headphones Good work! Eude

Beautiful!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1355262573' post='1896195'] Well, I have no experience of that cabinet, and it might hold up enough mid range to give you enough volume. Personally, it wouldn't be my choice. I'd go for an Aguilar DB112 x 2. Its a tried an tested amazing tone. Not light...45lbs each, but worth it. [/quote] Or Aggie GS112 x 2 if you want a fatter less mid-gutsy tone, a stonkingly good combination...

How you getting on with it mate?...

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1354705343' post='1889280'] I have a friend who owns the original Promethean and plays a epiphone thunderbird through it. It's more than loud enough to compete with a full drumkit. From what you say the new promethean sounds more like a practice amp to me. [/quote] Sounds like you're right, if I remember correctly, the older model puts out 300W into the single speaker, arguably more than enough for most real world stuff within reason. I have emailed Ibanez asking why they changed it, but they don't seem keen to reply... Eude

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1354700814' post='1889203'] Yes - I think it's plenty loud enough for home practice, maybe even for low-volume acoustic jamming. However, the 300W seemed to evaporate into thin air last night at band practice - and that was with no drummer, not even hand percussion. I dunno, maybe I was expecting too much. [/quote] You'll get a bit less bass response with it being elevated. Perhaps if you tried it on the floor it might have had a little more weight? Remember it won't put out the full wattage without an additional cab, having said that though, 150W at 8 Ohms, or whatever it puts into the single speaker, should still have been audible enough. Eude

That's a shame, my experience of similar usage, in my old band was great! The older version seriously kept up with everything without even being close to maxed out at rehearsals and small gigs. The new power section must be pretty crappy by comparison then, and by the sounds of it they must have cheapened the speaker and everything else too. There is a tendency towards a middy sound, but you can easily dial it out using the graphic EQ, I guess the new simpler preamp makes it harder to target the specific frequencies. Ibanez were really on to something with the first lot of Promethean kit, I wonder why they turned this crappy corner Eude

Wow! Very nice mate! Eude

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1354545935' post='1887186'] BF Midget T with GB Shuttle 9.0: [/quote] Now that is a really classy looking rig

+1 for the EAD. Not only is it the best built cab I've ever seen, it's fairly light, it also sounds very VERY nice and is extremely versatile. I think you'll love it Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1354013116' post='1880712'] You're going to love it! Don't forget to breathe Took it to a practice last night and it was just soooo good, any sound I needed was just there (60's thump, modern poppy slap, everything), and, despite being a 6 string I had absolutely no hand ache afterwards! The asymmetric neck profile is perfect! [/quote] That's great to hear matey The asymmetric profile is genius, combined with the flat fingerboard I assume yours has, you get a very VERY comfortable 6 string bass. Due to me being a wee guy, I opted for a slimmer nut profile than usual too, at 52mm, just like a classical guitar, which makes the thing even easier to play - the beauty of a custom instrument Finger crossed I'll be speccing up a 6 string fretless at some point next year, hopefully I can plump for the ACG EQ 03 for it too Eude
