nice bit of custom work to make it your own

[quote name='jakesbass' post='622972' date='Oct 11 2009, 11:36 AM']It was really great to meet a lot of like minded individuals, thanks for all the kind words, I had a blast.[/quote] me too, and thanks for the double-bass lesson I was happy that everyone who played my Shuker seemed to like it - even if I have got the ramp set a bit high Thanks from me to Happy Jack for the chauffeuring (and for bringing Paul the drummer) I owe you a beer or 2. The only bad thing about the day for me was that it went so quickly. So kudos to the organising committee and here's to the next one!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='622009' date='Oct 9 2009, 08:45 PM']As reference for next time, are set-ups on the day of a Bash not of much interest then? Nik[/quote] there was lots of interest in the set up master class earlier in this thread. Is this scheduled to happen?

[quote name='spike' post='616378' date='Oct 4 2009, 11:48 AM']Very nice indeed, you must be well pleased. Are you going to be playing it down the George II anytime soon?[/quote] Unfortunately not. I'm not in Arnika anymore and probably won't be gigging up that way for quite a while.

I've seen some interesting home recorded footage of Keeley Hawes

Is there any compression?

[quote name='The Funk' post='616199' date='Oct 4 2009, 06:17 AM']I don't even know what that means [/quote] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads_Against_Racial_Prejudice"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads_Aga...acial_Prejudice[/url]

I may have mentioned it before ( ) but my Tech Soundsystems combo used to belong to Squarepusher. He used it for a gig at the Albert Hall. I probably don't make it sound quite as good as he did though

[quote name='The Funk' post='616024' date='Oct 3 2009, 08:12 PM']Haven't had any yet - but I did ask WHUFC for a support slot with one of his bands. [/quote] Although on a serious note, how do you know WHUFC hasn't got a sharp badge/patch etc?

[quote name='Finbar' post='615777' date='Oct 3 2009, 03:29 PM']Youtube?[/quote] wouldn't have a scooby where to start.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='615937' date='Oct 3 2009, 06:43 PM']I hear loads of stories of bands playing gigs where they've been fighting or the audience have...some proper punch-ups. I've never actually witnessed anything bad at any of my gigs (maybe I've just been lucky). Anyone had experiences?[/quote] yep, had to be locked inside a venue for our own safety as there was a riot going on outside. This was a venue outside of Milton Keynes a few years ago. Wolverton I think.

Edge of Heaven - Wham! real bass, great line.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='613173' date='Sep 30 2009, 06:39 PM']We need videos of the lights!![/quote] Does photobucket host video? Would it be possible to do something on my camera and upload and link to photobucket?

[quote name='peted' post='613217' date='Sep 30 2009, 07:51 PM']Wow that is gorgeous. Have you had a chance to try it in a band setting, or recorded with it yet?[/quote] not yet. I've just got together with a new band and we are arranging a rehearsal. I'll post how it goes.

the light wasn't too good, but here's some more pics. I was trying to show the contouring and the thumbchumb profile with these. He had to put it somewhere

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='606320' date='Sep 23 2009, 12:58 AM']Tell us about the LEDS then... How do they "pulse". From what I can work out from the circuit, they should come on in pairs?[/quote] well spotted sir! As someone who can just about wire a plug I'm impressed There are about 7 different options (not including all on) and they go from 2 together pulsing up the neck alone, then several together going up the neck, so that by the end of the options it looks like all the lights are on and they are being switched off as they go up the neck. Apologies for the rather poor explanation.

[quote name='david_l_perry' post='606177' date='Sep 22 2009, 10:15 PM']I actually like the look of them......but I am a little odd [/quote] +1

thanks for the kind comments guys [quote name='steve' post='604927' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:25 PM']Fantastic, looking forward to more pics, I think I've sussed what the bendwell is, what's a thumbchum?[/quote] it's the name for the all in one pup cover/thumb rest/ramp.
