    Colours!

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I chose 'other' as both my 7 string Shuker 'Doodle' and my new 6 string headless Shuker both feature flip paint.. so my basses change colour depending on how you look at them! Looks visually stunning with a high gloss wet look lacquer!

    Price for custom basses

    in Bass Guitars

    Yes, I seem to remember some posts earlier in the year warning that a good few luthiers have or will be putting up their prices. I think you are spot on, increased costs are inevitable and in order to cover those costs, indeed they have to be passed on to the customer. It is pretty much across the board I think.. though some companies have maybe enjoyed a much higher price hike than others. I'm sure they have their reasons, whether or not it's down to higher costs in different geographic areas or the mysterious 'boutique tax' Hmmmmmm...

    EBS BASS RIG now looking for trades

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted

    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='314797' date='Oct 25 2008, 11:00 PM']The thing is; the seller has started about 10 different threads trying to sell or trade this rig. You can draw your own conclusions as to why. I bumped all these threads for him a week ot two back, and one of those threads actually said what he wanted for trade.

    He, as in the seller, thought I was taking the piss :unsure: Me :huh: As if :huh: And reported me to the mods :)

    The thing is that EBS is really good gear, and in the time the seller has been attempting to sell this, I sold my EBS rig, with a little more effort, bought another one cos my Genz Benz was on a slow boat from China, and sold that one as well :huh:

    You work it out :brow:[/quote]


    John, when I contacted you to ask what's up between you and Ian and about your baiiting you did say that you would add Ian to your ignore list and leave it. As you haven't I'm upping your warnng level. Please, if you have a problem contact Ian privately from now on and not air your personal grievances publically.

    [quote name='Paulo Silva' post='313615' date='Oct 24 2008, 10:31 AM']I dont want to start any riot but you all sound more closed minded then my fellow portuguese bassist!

    the use of ERB's is limited, I only use my 9 string in my band because the guitarist has a 8 string guitar.
    the low F# (0.165) string creates new sonic textures that helps a band stand appart in the music scene.

    imagine a mix of Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan and Intronaut.

    the higher notes F 0.22 and A# 0.14 are great to do chords and to back up a single guitarist in a band situation.


    there is space for everyone in the music business and there is no need for bashing the ERB players.[/quote]


    Gotta agree.. Everytime the 'ERB' discussion comes up, I am so surprised at the narrow minded views displayed by some of us! I have been playing 6ers and 7ers for years now and not once ever been in a situation where i couldnt make full use of the instrument, even playing covers.. I actually find them easier to play than my P basses that have never left the house!

    The new band is really gonna allow me to make use of the complete pallete the instrument offers, thats for sure.

    Just remembered 'Powersoft'... seems I have just answered my own question! The DigiMod modules are available in high power outputs. I remember how good my Powersoft D2004 was.. so it's a possibility for a future project!

    any other alternatives would be happily received too ;o)

    I want one now....i bet these things cost a fortune[/quote]


    I have to whole-heartedly agree with Steve (CrazyKiwi). Jon's workmanship is flawless and given that there are plenty of luthiers out there who also do a great job, imho he offers the best value for money. The wait is worth it... My current build will be my 3rd amazing Shuker!

    [quote name='bass_ferret' post='311020' date='Oct 21 2008, 09:03 AM']As I have said in the sticky (this is so important I am prepared to repeat myself), I found the ER20's most uncomfortable. I am sure I am not alone.[/quote]

    I found the ER20's a little tight, as I have smaller ear canals than 'the average'

    It was a fair question.. I've seen one chap drop his on the floor of a toilet, wipe them on his trousers and put them back in. You wouldn't stick a dirty spoon in your mouth, so why stick filthy plugs in your ears?

    [quote name='MacDaddy' post='248026' date='Jul 25 2008, 06:54 PM']Hi
    I need a bit of advice. The original plan, was to have an all in one pup cover/ramp/thumb rest running from the bridge to the neck. Having played a few basses with ramps, I'm thinking slapping may be compromised?
    Is this the case, or will it just mean an adjustment of technique? Otherwise it will mean having to reshape the pup cover/ramp/thumb rest by the neck, which may destroy the aesthetic :)[/quote]


    You could go for a ramp like on Doodle, between the pups and leave the neck portion free of wood? [url="http://www.danveall.co.uk/Shuker7Page.htm"]http://www.danveall.co.uk/Shuker7Page.htm[/url] Pictures right at the bottom of the build diary.

    [quote name='tauzero' post='307921' date='Oct 16 2008, 02:50 PM']Well, I did take the opportunity to play Mustang Sally on Doodle when I played it at Northampton...[/quote]

    GULP 2! lol - I did notice 'she' went round the room a few times.. the dirty girl!!

    [quote name='peted' post='308379' date='Oct 17 2008, 09:29 AM']Ipswich? Nay! I'm back in my home [i]taaan[/i] of Essex, innit. Your Doodle has come up when discussing specs with Jon :) I'm hoping it'll be similar to Doodle, but with something "a bit special" (ooh i'm a tease!)[/quote]

    Ahhh sorry....! - Essex... of course! lol - Awww! thats awesome! I'm glad Doodle gets talked about! We spent a while doing all the customisations. I'm pretty chuffed to see that a few of those customisations have found their way on to Jon's standard design! My Headless will feature much of the same too! Awww can't wait to see it!!!
