Met Richard today in London to buy his Strat. Communication was excellent, goods as described, sale went without a hitch! Cheers pal James

Small update from me!

Quasar DLX here. Fantastic phaser with LOTS of features, but quite pricey. Worth it though if you're looking for that kind of thing.

Would anyone here be up for building me an A/B box with a tuner mute? I have a specific orientation in mind that no one else seems to make, and I don't have the time or equipment for building pedals any more! Nothing special, just 2 switches, an LED for each channel and the tuner mute, doesn't need any fancy graphics or anything...PM me with a quote! Cheers

Thanks all! Off on the ship again tomorrow for 5 months, so will be putting her through her paces pretty solidly! I'm sure she'll hold up fine!

Played it tonight at a jam night and it absolutely sings. Absolutely chuffed!

Cheers man...really can't wait to use this beast live!

Yep, absolutely over the moon with it

Yeah going back on wednesday pal! When are you back on there?

It's here, and it's everything I dreamed it would be! Feels amazing to play. The flats on it are D'Addario chromes I think, and they're obviously brand new so still sound quite bright. Once they get worn in it will be even better! Here's a quick couple clips I knocked up just now. The playing isn't the best - no metronome etc, just aimlessly noodling! DI'd from my Tonehammer 500 amp pre-eq, nothing added in Logic, literally as flat as possible. https://soundcloud.com/higgie142/sets/shuker-p5-clips

Not very long at all! My first Shuker (the Jazz 5) took just over a year. Jon quoted me 6-8 months on this one and has come in right at about 6 months from when he started building it, following a few weeks of throwing emails back and forth deciding on specs. The neck has exactly the same dimensions as my Jazz 5 too, so should feel exactly the same to play...Just with a big, round, and thumpy P Bass tone!

Well I'm off on the ship again for 5 months on wednesday, with a lot of stuff to do before I go, so might not get a chance to do soundclips etc, but I'll try! And thanks yeah it is a great colour. I just love Pino's Precision so thought a 5 string version with flats would be exactly what I wanted, er... needed.

Yep! Got her strung with flats, can't wait to get my hands on it!

Just received these pictures last night of my Precision 5 String that Jon Shuker has been building me. It arrives tomorrow, and to say I am dribbling with anticipation is an understatement! [attachment=191001:jamesh7.jpg] [attachment=191002:p30.jpg] [attachment=191003:p30a.jpg]

Been a while since I posted a board in this thread! Here is my new board: [url="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/Higgie123/media/IMG_0158_zpsmt13cu8a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/Higgie123/media/IMG_0159_zpsmowyhmdl.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/Higgie123/media/IMG_0161_zpsoz08xoor.jpg.html"][/url] The Input Jack goes straight into the Sadowsky Preamp, and the Output comes from the Micro Thumpinator underneath the board, with the jack sitting nicely in the hole on the back of the PT's frame. The other hole is for the right angled Fig 8 Lead for the Power Supply, which will be plugged in permanently, and just have the cable coiled on top of the board: [url="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/Higgie123/media/IMG_0163_zpszezifprm.jpg.html"][/url] Anyone wondering what the gap on the left is for, it's for the AirTurn footswitch we use in our band to turn pages in forScore on our iPads. I haven't velcro'd it down as the footswitch belongs to the MD, so my plan is to use some spray adhesive, and attach some anti-slip mat to the slats (or just whole bottom corner I haven't decided yet). I've tried it without the adhesive and it actually doesn't budge at all, but I'd rather have the anti-slip stuff attached to the board permanently so I can just put the footswitch on it and off I go!

Sadowsky Preamp/DI (Turbo Tuner on the Tuner out)>Darkglass VMT>Aguilar TLC>Aguilar Octamizer>IE Oxide>Subdecay Prometheus>SFX Micro Thumpinator
