My Church used to meet in a school. I was not down to play bass that morning. The bassist could not make it. I had to step in. I raided the music room and picked up the only bass there. Plywood. Tuned the G with pliers cos the machine head was not there. It was ....... not what we all hope for. It made that bass sound and no one even noticed that I did not bring any of my basses which have cost at least 10 times as much.

Shukers are not for everyone. But neither are Fenders. Or Foderas. Or Wals.

Thanks Interesting I am now mature enough to resist late night GAS, but a truss rod cover suggests it might make a candidate for a short scale metal strung bass and rout a pickup in there.

I played through those in a DB Bash. They were very fine indeed.

The reality is that i have never gigged my FI in anger. Every time I fired it up in a gig situation with one band the keys player looked at me with a smile and then called up something obscene on his Moog/Nord/ARP and I slid backwards into the wings. Or I fired it up on DB with a singer I worked with and she looked confused. I have no issue with the FI tracking and do not expect this to be any different. If the sustain thing was happening on the FI then I would not be bothering but a job I did owed me some money and I treated myself to this. The actual amount of FX I use out in the real world are negligable so my opinion is not going to sway anyone. I can see myself using the sustain thing in Church so that makes it a useful experiment. Pretty soon all the online retailers in the UK will blacklist me because you can have an awful lot of fum messing with stuff at home and then sending them back.

Looks cool. What was the damage?

Due tomorrow. It is the sustain pedal aspect that is drawing me in. I have an FI for synthy goodness.

Curiosity has got the better of me. I am going in.

You call that autotune? THIS is autotune!!!

I am digging it.

They are like pebbles. In a good way.

Bassist gets funky at 11:17, BVs feeling it.

That is going to be a fine looking axe. And we know it will play well.

Yummy

You are such a square.

Classic look from the guitarist @ 0:16 as he realises it is going to be a cool set.

I use a KW112 at work. It is the wooden boxed version (I believe) of the K12. It is a VERY capable box. I slapped a KW118 sub underneath it, for research purposes obviously. In the room I was in the sub did not make a significant difference. The KW is quite the thing.

So obvious! Thanks.

I have just bought a 6 string with a neck so wide I could park a car on it. Of course, it is too wide for my normal stand. What do people use?

With wheels. Yummy!
