Mine came in about 4 days. They are rubbish. Terrible. Absolutely awful. Sound tinny, scratchy and completely not like an Ampeg at all. They are poorly built, fragile, and flimsy. Of course, I lie. They are excellent - very usable valve tone, brilliant DI output options, and they are built like the proverbial brick s**t house. I'd hate to drop one on my foot..

It's also the most "no electronics in it as the ghost board has gone pop and thus it's an ornament at the moment" fretless bass I've ever seen!

I'm just north of Spalding, so my neck of the woods too!

I travel a lot so getting it Notts or Leicester way is very easy

I’m based near Peterborough so close to Leicester/Notts

@Marcoelwray - I've got some big Jam sessions in future months - 24th November, 16/17 Feb 2019 - each with 30-40 musicians at and we typically play and record 20+ numbers (with vid as well) if we could time it for one of these sessions then I could take it along and get a good number of players to have a go and pass on their thoughts?

Having dived firmly into the fretless pool, surfaced, had a paddle, done some front crawl, a bit of backstroke, and decided my breast stroke needs a lot of work on it - and having not drowned, but managed to stay afloat, tread water, and even make it to the side without incident or losing my trunks.... I think I'd like to get an el cheapo fretless for taking out and about for the more, um, tasty venues.... Broadly I'd like lined, or at least side line markers (which the shuker has and I'm fine with that) and I think relatively lightweight. I do like oddball, semi hollow and other weirdness as well, mind.. Suggestions?

Hahahar! It’s very different to the pf20 - like it a lot

Funny, I just got a ctm15 from @Bigwan and it’s pretty much silent compared to the pf20!!

The hum adds some authenticity to that 60s tube sound for me.. course, it’s not to everyone’s taste

Mine arrived same day... odd

I, for one, am really pleased this story has had a (more than) happy ending. So much so, I've even broken my own self-imposed posting break to say as much. Most chuffed for you mate.

Oh my quote had nothing to do with him - I saw "What if I..." and heard "Why don't you.." and made up an amusing (not) quip about youtube persona in general. You credit me with far more intelligence than I have.

It was a hashed quote from Why Don’t You - an 80s kids programme

Or, Why don't I... just switch off this laptop set, go out and do something less boring instead. Sitting at home, watching Youtube, turn it off, it makes you crude.. Why don't I.... etc.

I hum loudest even with a P bass... I really need to shower more often.

"Never been on a guitar" I bet it's not been on a drum kit or a flute either....

Having done quite a few partscasters, I'd say taking a saw to a bass ain't much fun at all

I just got a Polytune clip - they are on special at Amazon at the mo for £26. I'll let you know how it does

Of course, if Laura Ashley or Orla Kiely did wallpaper with pictures of basses on it... I'd be insistent Edited as spellchecker changed Orla to Oral - lol

I'm not fussed - I close my eyes on my way to the man cave (with normal, plain old off-white walls)

Exactly why!

Having said that, I just did it in my Shuker as it's underneath the board and it worked really well... !

It’s difficult to shield above a pickup without it looking a bit naff
