Fishman Plat Pro into fx return of a Class D amp
Owen replied to Clarky's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Yes. I could go on and on, but the answer would still be the same. -
Someone on TB owns that. I know way too much about this stuff!

[quote name='Mugz.wood' post='1189744' date='Apr 5 2011, 09:37 PM']ok do u think a smaller program would reduce the latency because logic is a pretty big program, reason maybe?, i would be using a 2ghz mac book 2 gbs ram with an m- audio firewire solo external sound card do u think that would be able to cope? if not i could still use the laptop setup for a after rumble effect maybe? thanks[/quote] That should work fine. Try using Mainstage (part of the Logic suite so you already own it) instead of Logic as it is a bit easier to deal with live.

It looks great apart from the knobs. Why bother doing lovely things with wood and then put 20p knobs on it?

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1197122' date='Apr 12 2011, 06:17 PM']For those who have been fortunate enough to order a Sei Bass, the process of material selection is addictive, huh?[/quote] It's not addictive, it is lethal. I had decided what I needed before I went in, and then splurged and took it all. It was lush though.

No bug eye chrome? No good.

I bought this last week because I wanted to try the body shape. "That's a bit excessive!" you might say, but I can never get anywhere near the interesting stuff so I have to buy it when the price is right to try and then shift it on again. I love it enough to commission one for myself. So why am I selling? When the chips are down I have come to understand that I am a 2 x pickup kind of bloke and this has a single MM humbucker. It does what it does superbly, but it is not for me. It is still in perfect nick and comes with a Shuker HSC. I will get pics up over the weekend (it is sitting in a theatre pit at then moment), but wanted to get the ball rolling, Here are the specs 7 Piece Bolt On Maple Neck/Fingerboard Soft Maple Body in Natural Finish Individual Bridge Units (Hipshot I believe) Gotoh Tuners ACG Preamp Delano MCAL Pickup (The switch by the EQ is a 3 way switch for the pickup between single coil/series/parallel) String spacing is 17mm and nut width (brass) is 47mm. Scale length is 33" Weight is just under 8 lbs Need it you know you do. £700 + carriage. No offers, no trades. I do not NEED to sell it, so it will go when it goes.

I bought this on the rebound after a bad gig. I do not need it, I should just have spent more time eq'ing what I have. It will need a pre-amp to buffer the piezos. All details here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/J-tone-REDS-Double-bass-cello-transducer-pick-up-/190370473777?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item2c52f6e731"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/J-tone-REDS-Double-b...=item2c52f6e731[/url] Yours for £18 posted.

I just got this and there seems to very little out there regarding info when I was trying to research it, so I thought I would post my initial thoughts. All Shuker stuff is fully custom so there is not really much point in discussing the finer details of my own bass, but I thought some of the more generic Uberhorn features were worth noting. The body shape is very comfortable indeed. It is like a jazz that has been genetically modified to be slimmer and more graceful. The whole thing balances fantastically well seated and standing. The main issue I would like to highlight is the standard Uberhorn scale length - it is 33". Mine is a 5 string (bought second hand on here). I have been playing 5 strings for almost 21 years. I bought the first on my honeymoon - it was a 3 hour detour. How my wife of 7 days laughed! I have always found anything less than 35" scale to be disappointing in the B dept. Just for reference I must have gone through a good 20 basses in that period so at least have hands on experience. The sub 35" B always let me down because it never sounded as if it was the same instrument. Once I fell off the E onto the B things would get just that bit muddier. My present Uberhorn came up here just after I had sold a bass so I had money sitting waiting for the right moment - lethal. I had also just the day before that commissioned an Uberhorn body to go on a neck I have and I could not stop myself from trying out the real deal. Does the 33" B speak with the same sound as my 35" basses? No. However it does speak with the same voice as the rest of the bass. It has a sonic integrity from the top all the way to the bottom, it is all obviously the same instrument speaking whatever register is being used. Is this due to the 5 piece laminated neck (bolt on)? I don't know, but I can say that I will be happy to use it and not flinch every time I go below low E. Is a 35" B better than a 33" B? Before trying this I would have said yes. Now I would say that it is just a different flavour. The smaller scale makes it really easy to play sitting down. Everything feels very close I am really enjoying it.

[quote name='tonyf' post='1184900' date='Apr 1 2011, 03:39 PM']I'm in a similiar position where I need to downsize my EBS rig over the next couple of months. I'm looking at the Barefaced cabs and the Streamliner/TC Classic 450 or Bass Terror but really need to hear the Super Twelve T in action before I'd be happy pulling the trigger. As I've not been able to get to any bass bashes recently, it'd be brilliant if someone had a Barefaced of some sort (if not a Super Twelve, perhaps a Compact or Big One) in the West Midlands for me to try out in exchange for alcohol/coffee/cream cakes etc T[/quote] Alex does do a sale or return thing with his cabs so that could be pretty painless. If it works for you - cool. If it does not work for you - cool

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='1181786' date='Mar 30 2011, 03:18 AM']I've only seen them in pictures. The look was OK, the 134 pound weight a wee bit off-putting.[/quote] I felt that pain. I sold it sharpish.

[quote name='edster' post='1181289' date='Mar 29 2011, 08:05 PM']Been checking out the Bravewood website, Some seriously special basses on there! I'd never heard of them. Which city is he based in? Pity HJ isn't selling a Jazz, I wouldn't be able to resist. Awesome bass bump![/quote] If HJ was selling a Bravewood Jazz you would not have been able to buy it because I would have taken it within 30 seconds of it being listed. I have a Bravewood P and it sits very happily next to my 66 jazz and presses all the same buttons for me.

Keep it natural. I dig the way the grain flows round in a curve/wave thing on the front.
