Looks at the shuker on the wall. Yep, its a road well trodden!

Well, as long as you never give up, that is what matters So you went to a shop to get the cheapest budget Ibanez SR and then it turned out you wanted a SR premium? That worked out well then!

Close:

Just because all your basses are wrong! But still, as you say, we can agree that at least it isn't the travesty of the 4+1. The only one that has that is the wrongo, and somehow it suits that

Update: They now accept my bass is lost so are sending me out another. Or will as soon as there are any in the UK. Whole thing could have been sorted wtih better comms.

Absolutely is what usually happens. Looking at all my basses, half of them are like that!

You can copy and paste it from the title. I find it easy to write, as I type the letters m z k and it auto-expands to Maruszczyk, because I have one and had to type it a lot!

Yeh, but they don't do necks in decent sizes, unlike maruszczyk

Not sure why it makes a difference if it is active or not, if you want to change your EQ on your pedalboard, there seems to be a lot of options to do it. Luckily I have all the toneshaping I want on my amp, because I certainly don't have room on my pedalboard!

and remember the configurator is a much newer thing, when I bought mine it didn't exist, you just contacted him with a list of things you wanted.

They manufacture their own necks and bodies.

Well, that is kind of backwards. a wav file is the data you want to send to the A/D converter put in a file. An MP3 file is that same data that has been compressed and encoded to use less space. If something wants to play that track, it has to open the MP3 file, decode and expand it to an approximation of what was in the original wave so that it can play it. I can't imagine there is a media player than couldn't directly play a wav file, or the equivalent - there are several formats that are uncompressed or loslessly compressed files, AIFF etc. Pretty well the same, the wav format was just microsofts version of an AIFF.

interesting - I am guessing volume for each string on both pickups.

Your creativity is your creativity. Formal training gives you other options and opens your eyes to other ways of doing things but doesn't replace creativity. So no, if you are inventive, a formal education will help. If you aren't, it won't.

Also would be happy to but then you would have to travel to Yeovil to pick it up, and most people try and avoid that

ok, I will update. They haven't made a computer in the last 3 decades, or a smartphone ever as long as it had the space that cant covert a wav file to an mp3!

Most, but not all. If you look on the website there are a number of basses you can just buy as is. They are not custom, as you don't have any say in them. BUt anything from the configurator or built manually is.

If you couldn't have picked it up off the shelf and it was put together specifically as ordered, it is custom. And that is assuming that he didn't pick anything really custom, like mine has a neck that is completely custom and not off a pre-made part, I don't know about this one.

Ahh, well I assume that will rule out actual fenders. my mzk is a 5 string light fender style, but not budget Also not that budget

mine hasn't turned up yet, I accidently ordered it from america. It is due this week

I don't know about sires, they always looked heavy. the CV P bass I had though weighed very little. A lot lighter than any of my fender Jazzes were (admitadly that is only 3). So much so it was a little bit headstock heavy. so it is surprising they are heavy. Obviously if you are comparing it to something built for weight, it probably won't match. My swamp ash shuker is certainly lighter, and my chambered mzk is also probably less. Maybe the other models are heavier.

Same here. Actually the group that had it didn't carry on, but there are some tracks that go into your practice routine, and that is one of them as it is fun one to play.

I think my favourite fender basses were the MIM Geddy Lee and my Squier CV P. I have an Aerodyne J at the moment, but I don't think I would notice if it wasn't there one day for a few months.

My wife will almost certainly throw them out when she sees them as she has a passionate hatred of orange, but I am in anyway. I could use them on my green bass, wouldn't that be nice?

The only real problem with this bass is customer service. It is a beautiful bass with a couple of very minor issues, this whole thing could have been fixed with a couple of friendly emails.
