So my shuker has Shaller tuners on it - I think the lightweight ones, they certainly have plastic.., whatever the end bits that you turn are called. May 2021, I was tightening a string and the A tuner handle just broke, fell apart completely. Very irritating. Contacted Jon Shuker to mention it and he sent me a new one, which was nice. Put new strings on it yesterday, doing up the strings and the D string tuner also fell apart! wtf? People always go on about getting cheap basses and saying that you have to change the tuners. I have changed tuners in the past but I have never had to change tuners on a cheap bass, the sum total of playing the guitar since 1979 is 2 tuners, both these shalllers. Regardless of the outcome of this, I think I might just get some new tuners anyway! Anyone else had problems with this? Heres the original: And heres yesterdays

Note there are two types of knobs, the volume knob and all the others. They have a different mounting

Just checked, mine was £379 in November 2020, so maybe they always have one. However, I am pretty sure that i looked a few months ago at their B-Stock and it wasn't there then. Maybe they just put it in the shop for a while and if it doesn't sell they then put it on the web?

Sounds very much the bass has been retroactively isolated rather than it being an individual track. There is some AI software that can separate the indivudual tracks of a recording but obviously it can't do it perfectly as all the audio isn't there. It tend to have the warbling phasing sound that you hear.

Not even slightly Ska'd enough for the version that we do!

I have a squier CV Mustang bass sitting behind me now. Surf green, rather than seafoam green. It has flats on, it is pretty good. Quality is fine, the only problem with mine was that the pickguard opening for the pickup was so tight around the pickup that the whole thing was pretty microphonic so I took it off and filed round the gap a bit. Now it is great. Very nice bass for the price (although mine was S/H, so the price was quite a bit less).

You did - I was really chuffed when I got it at that price too. It seems occasionally PMT do some mad prices, which is odd considering they are normally not the cheapest. And I hadn't seen that price since I got mine, And mine has been gigged heavily since then and never let me down (although I think the mute light has recently stopped working)

I see now that the dimension 5 is also in Inferno Red. If they had that colour to start with I would have probably already got one! seems USA only at the moment though

Shouldn't be that surprised, it is about what I bought my B Stock evo 600 from them last year.

Yep, one of mine broke / fell off, I just ordered a load more as they were pretty cheap, before I found out they would send the replacements free! Unfortunately they were in a box of things that my pigeons knocked over the other day while fighting and I haven't had a chance to dig them out yet. I know, first world problems!!

Finally got round to putting some video up. Need to do more but it takes so long! I mentioned this somewhere else, there is omnipresent clicking in the sax, and for some reason, there is clicking on the TMB35 as well, not sure why, could be pickup impact as this is one of the few pick songs.

There is an element of that that would be nice, but it depends if you can trust anyone else to do it! When we did the cab shootout, we used just a normal track and my BC112 cab provided the clearest / fullest range. In fact, apart from the markbass, they all did pretty well with just general music. In other news, I bought a RCF Evox 8 the other day on ebay. Having decided I wasn't going down that route it turned up on ebay 15 miles from here pretty cheap, I made a low offer and it was accepted. It was actually listed as a J8, but it clearly wasn't, it is made of wood. Sounds ok in the garden, just need a practice to test it out on

Well, it actually makes sense that they remove them as although you could call it censorship, they are not actually reviews of the venue, they are people complaining about this post.

Could always have contacted mods / admin, we could have connected you to your old account if you could have shown some proof it was you!

Are they? They seem pretty damning when i look at them. Their current rating is 2 stars, are you looking at the right Great Barn, there are a lot of them!

There is a beautiful hall near us, an old hamstone barn, huge, with flagstone floors. if you whisper at one side of the room you can hear it at the other end. Also, if you drop a drumstick on the floor, it sets off the noise level meter! And when you do play, even ignoring the noise meter (which they seem to do), its pretty much like you expect to get if you turn the reverb up on everything Indeed - they are either very bad at communicating, or very stupid, or very greedy, or some combination of all of the above.

Would have been funnier without the spelling mistake

They aren't imposing this at all - they just phrased it badly. They are charging a 10% commission fee if they recommend the supplier. ie, if the couple hire the hall and say 'who is a good photographer', they will recommend someone for 10% - but even then: a) who asks a hall for a recommendation of a photographer / caterer / band b) once they have recommended someone, what would be to stop the couple then going directly to that photographer.

There are still the reviews on google which aren't very flattering, and I guess they can't take down. There is a post on their page saying that they had explained it badly (although I can't see what they were trying to say), and it wasn't their intention to charge everyone, either way it is a pretty good way to commit business suicide in a pretty crowded marketplace! Ah - I see, they wanted to charge suppliers that they recommend 10%. Well, I think they have lost any financial advantage of doing that now.

I saw that on facebook - it is amazing how you don't notice on something like that until you listen how much is actually there!

I keep a spare 7ths string in case I need to pull out anything fancy

Wow - you get your own green buckets, how posh!

Should now be back, please return to your normally scheduled browsing!

Sorry about search and activity going down this afternoon. Hopefully you are now returned to your regularly scheduled searching and activity looking!
