  2. You are totally right. Add to that the fact that most people can't hear a quarter tone out of tune, only a few hear an eighth tone out and even less have the perfect pitch : your answer will then be complete.
  3. She clearly says that it's intended for intermediate players...
  4. Could say so, but I'm loosing my hair. 😁 Maybe see it as a tribute to his own hair "cut". 🤣
  5. You can do the same on a fretless bass, I mean always playing in perfect tune. Alain Caron can play chords perfectly in tune on fretless. I've seen him playing the chords of the tune while Mike Stern was soloing (it was the classical trio without any keyboard player). It's all about accuracy and hearing. When you play chords on a fretless, you can easily hear if they are in tune or not. Well, sorry to say it, but I can. And I also play opened strings and in the upper register (private joke).
  6. I hope she'll never have to play some jazz or Klezmer music ! Here are the next 5 tips : "Always play in A on the E string, so remove the other strings !" "Never play fretless bass !" "Never learn theory !" “Never learn articulation !" "Never plug your bass as you are useless !"

The bass has been fully set up and everything checked. Non smoking environment, as usual. Asking price is £3150 GBP due to the rarity and very very very good condition of this bass. Warrior link : http://www.warriorinstruments.com/the-dm-custom-bass-nt/ Look at the pictures to see the real condition (under different lights to try to capture the real colour), which show only some little wear with a very few dings, crazy slapper scratches and other light scratches (no rear heavy marks or scratches), the most obvious mark being under the control cavity where the bass is left on a stand. The pickups are marked too, particularly the neck pickup under the e string as they were too close to the strings... I've pictured everything as usual, but if you want more pictures, just ask.
  8. You do ... as I told you when I saw it on B****c. Am I evil ? 🤘
  9. Who could not love Stuart Zender playing ? That's pure talent, laziness and clever enough to have stopped before it was too late. I bought my first Warwick because of him. Double thumbs up for a true genius.
  10. The dots are weird too. Did you check AliExpress ?
  11. Mick, it could also be an Ovation, as it's the same head design, but the taipiece and floating bridge are quite intriguing... Not to mention the f holes coupled to the three round holes. Very Ovation in the concept, but I'm not aware of such an instrument. I'll keep on investigating.
  12. Check this for the preamp : https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1556006 The guy is British, so it'll be easy to deal with him. And he is a nice chap too.
  13. Ask @JESUS RICO and listen to his work on BandCamp : https://jesusricoperez.bandcamp.com Here is a video with two Ebows : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7F30pSiAE
  14. There is nothing wrong about this Shuker, but I wanted another bass here on BC, so I traded it for the one I wanted at the time. And like other BC'ers I love to try new basses. So you are at the right place for the right deal. The sound of that Shuker is very growly on the bridge pickup and really deep à la P-Bass on the neck pickup. Furthermore you have the best EMG 3 bands preamp in it (Haz Labs period). If you want a comparison, it's like a high end British car, it looks very common, but take the commands and you'll understand what (close to) perfection means. I should have kept it, but I'm addicted to Leduc 6 strings basses and especially fretless ones.
  15. These 3 basses are all good choices and in the UK (the Shuker used to be mine and is really terrific) :
