[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1351723710' post='1854780'] She's an absolute stunner Shep. really glad the shorter scale and E-C has worked out for you and gotten around the muscle/tendon/pain issues [/quote] Yeah it's certainly looking like it's been a great move for me. Time will tell but initial reports are 100% positive!

Yeah. Nice guy. Good at his job too! Sounds like Stoke is the place for bass!!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1351843632' post='1856006'] Sorry, no, I couldn't face it after visiting at hospital. I regret it this morning but hey ho that's what I get for being a moody w***er! It's really difficult to get people in there on a week night. Sometimes even at the weekend. Stoke is very much stuck in a rut of hair metal and indie bands, which is why I was so looking forward to seeing you. [/quote] No worries man. Shame you couldn't get. The guys are not holding it there anymore and doing it at the studio they are based from I believe. It was one of those shows... Not really the amount audience for the vibe you're used to but after the show everyone wants to talk about what you do and we made some great contacts. We had a good night all the same. One of the best on stage sounds I've ever had!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1351760548' post='1854940'] I can't get anyone to come with me but will be attending on my lonesome, all things being well. [/quote] Hey dude, did you make it? The turn out was not exactly great and the crowd were hard work. Felt like they hated it, then after everyone was saying how awesome it was. Odd odd night! Lol. Turns out the Soundman is a basschatter and there were 2 other BC guy there as well!?

In the interest of keeping the ball rolling our good friend Waatu in Canada has just put out this... His remix of our very first release Subscapes. It's a VERY different taken on our tracks and features some MC talent from Canada as well. We're really impressed with what he's produced. Have a listen...

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1351714532' post='1854612'] If only I wasn't out gigging dude! Have a good one! The Rigger is a great place to play [/quote] Another time dude! Shame you can't get. [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1351760548' post='1854940'] I can't get anyone to come with me but will be attending on my lonesome, all things being well. [/quote] Awesome. Make sure you come say hi.

The Moog MF-101 has an envelop out so you can use it as an envelope generator to drive something else rather than it's own filter. The MP-201 takes envelopes to the next level as well but is rare, expensive an likely OTT for most peolples needs.

Thanks Si. Thank god someone wants to help and take this of my hands... Oh... Wait...

This Thursday!

And even more...

Home from the tour and I have to say - this bass got better and better everyday. My shoulders and neck feel like I've not played bass once and the tone is to die for. I can't put it down. So so happy. Here are some photo's I took under the typically grey UK daylight: [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0607.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0608.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0610.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0611.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0615.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0622.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0625.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0626.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Roscoe%20LG%20Signature%20V/IMG_0627.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1351424418' post='1850985'] Awesome track and video. Lets hope you get the airtime you deserve. [/quote] Thanks dude! Here's to hoping!!!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1351523145' post='1852113'] Tweeted! [/quote] [quote name='krysh' timestamp='1351524694' post='1852144'] thanks again shep, great as usual. I hope you guys enjoyed the tour. it was a pity that we couldn't meet up. cheers. [/quote] Thanks dude! Yeah. More of Germany is definitely on the cards for the future. The Aachen show was cool. The venue typically do rock stuff, but everyone seemed to dig what we do and we sold some merch etc. We are already talking about doing Europe again next year so watch this space

Just got back off our European tour at 3am this morning and already I have another treat for you... PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] Hank is the bass-half of infectious synth-pop duo Hank & Cupcakes. H&C create some of the funkiest, grooviest party tunes you'll ever hear and Hank's live and studio set up is something of awe! Check out Hank's huge set up while he discusses how he does what he does and why it sounds so damn awesome!

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1351465048' post='1851561'] Crikey, how tight does that drum kit sound? [/quote] Very! It's all tuned much higher than your average kit so the kick drum sit in the mix above the low sub bass. It's an odd kit that other drummers scratch their heads at (small kick, 2 snares, cymbals) but it works for us!

Just heading back to the UK. We have a couple of the tour CD Digipak's of the album left so if you want one then BC folk have first refusal.

Hey dudes!! Been offline or a while as we're still on tour. The promoter of our show in Luxembourg shot this so I thought I'd take advantage of the wifi... [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Amp%20Cab%20Pedals/5C89324C-554E-409B-AF84-5307E816B844-2278-000001C6B68B165A.jpg[/IMG] Just finished a gig in Den Helder and tomorrow is the last show, then home in Sunday to my own bed!!

Got some WiFi T Music City in Antwerp. Amazing venue & amazing gig. Thought I'd pop on to say the bass is stunning. 3 shows in and playing has been totally effortless with really punchy even tone all over the neck. My shoulders and back hurt less than normal even though I'm moving gear more often too. Very happy. Show 4 is Luxembourg tomorrow so an early start is in order Shep

Lol. Yes guys, it arrived this morning. Put it through it's paces today at a rehearsal. Utterly blown away. It's tiny and sounds massive. The punch is amazing. Balance on a strap is perfect for me and the reach is ideal. I'm utterly blown away. Russ - the ramp was designed and made by one of the guys at Roscoe HQ (Ryan I think, but don't quote me on it). I'd seen an after market ramp added to the LG slanted pups in the past that looked like a 3rd pup (so it was angles at the top and bottom the same). I showed them the pic and this is what they came up with... The same concept except it gives me a flat edge to rest the thumb on of Im playin the E. It's very comfy and super gloss smooth. Lovely. Just packing up and loading up now for the tour. See you all on the 28th!

Yup! Worth noting as well that the signature neck is quite special. The signature neck is a 7-piece with a Purple heart wedge as the center bit then either side has a maple stringer, then PH stringer then maple wings. So it's... Maple/PH/Maple/PH (centre core)/Maple/PH/Maple. Roscoe offer an upgrade where you can swap the PH for Wenge throughout the neck. I went with the PH option to avoid the up charge. What's been done as seen on the reverse photo on the last page is to have the PH core but swap the 2 stringers for Wenge so the neck is a kinda hybrid... Maple/Wenge/Maple/PH/Maple/Wenge/Maple That probably bored the hell out of all of you... But it excites me!

I'm sure it will be! In fairness the addition of a ramp is for the practicality of it and not the looks. That said, I REALLY like the way it looks... But accept its rather unconventional. Some pics taken by Mark at Bass Direct this afternoon...

There is a CD version which is currently be made available at the Euro shows. Hopefully it will be available on a wider level later in the year so if/when that happens ill keep you posted!
