He's like...the Cleo Laine of the bass world!

I can't think of anything that will replace my Shuttle 6.0. Its got everything needed for gigging and nothing extra. For stereo with the MIDI bass set up I wouldn't mind another but they seem to have fairly high resale values from what I can see. So I've made do with a Peavey DPC power amp until I make some neo wedge shaped cabs with a slot for a shuttle in each.

Im more south than you. Welcome anyway!

The only single cut I've ever seen that looks gorgeous is the Fodera Beez Elite. Every other singlecut I've seen looks awful. I think this style needs width and curves to look attractive, it just doesn't look right when luthiers try to keep the body width small.

They're insecure and lonely. Invite them along to the gig so they can see for themselves you're not doing the dirty. Don't take responsibility for her insecurity or dependency. If she starts picking fights, mention that you think she's picking a fight and ask her how long its going to take before she's open to talking about solutions rather than moaning. If at any point you feel she's not listening to you then state the obvious and walk away. You don't have to be anyone's punching bag.

At least people can understand why I've said nothing on this thread to date. Ken I really wish you'd get off the internet and phone people instead. I think you come across well on the factory vid but your email comms come across as defensive and arrogant. Its up to you how to deal with that but I'd suggest a little empathy would go a long way. Respect comes from backing your customers, not your product. BTW, I don't regret selling all three of my Smith basses, my modded spectors are way better and taught me I don't need loads of lams for a fantastic sounding bass.

I used one of these tri-trucks. Great for moving over uneven ground. Heavy loads were still a hassle on stairs though.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1247868' date='May 28 2011, 05:48 AM']Pino bought his Buzz fretless to use on the Don Henley session for 'New York Minute' when he found his fretless Stingray had been sent back to the UK by mistake and he needed an instrument ASAP!!! oops!![/quote] That is a gorgeously sensual bassline. I really don't know where Pino's genius comes from. I feel like washing my ears with medical soap afterwards.

+1 Lets not pee on peoples' fire, or the mods will separate out the thread into two separate topics so the praise bassists can carry on with their thing undisrupted. The fat lady has sung.

But they were puppies that liked to chew on things. I was disturbed by that.

I'm prejudiced, but against bullying and harrassment.

God knows. If I was to compare my basses to cars I've driven it would be Shuker - Audi RS6 Spectors - Audi RS4 avant Pedulla Pentabuzz - Ferrari 360 Celinder P and J update - Audi S3 Pre EB Musicman Stingray - Lancia Delta Integrale Alembic Series 1 - Aston Martin DB5
