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!

Yeah. Shipping has cut it fine for delivery too but thankfully it arrived at Bass Direct this afternoon and is on a pre-10am delivery to me to in the morning... About 8 hours before we leave for Europe! Phew!

Thanks silddx, appreciate your comments, makes me quite proud to get compliments about 'my ear', which is something I've always felt I had, but in doing something a little different that most people hear as 'noise' I've never been so sure! [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350429523' post='1838927'] Is that really what Shep wants to hear? [/quote] "Our Helical Mind - Music For Your Parents" That's the next album name sorted then!

Awesome sauce

Thanks guys. iTunes will follow but it'll take a short while. Likely a couple of weeks, and may be more expensive. Buy it on Bandcamp... It's cheaper for you and we get more money! Plus you can still drop it straight into your iTunes and you'll never know the difference

Hey folks, we are playing at a bITjAM event on Nov 1st at The Rigger, Newcastle-Under-Lyme. bITjAM run a range of electronica-events from gigs to workshops to studio sessions and this show represents their 6th birthday and it's FREE! Hopefully some BC's local to Stoke can make it along!

Hey folks, for any of you Basschatters on the continent, we'll be touring from this friday bringing out own breed of instrumental, effect-heavy electronica. Would be awesome to hook up with some BC's en-route! Dates - [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/pantherairsoft/Our%20Helical%20Mind/A4SNKEiCYAAa51zjpg-large.jpg[/IMG] Shep

Album is OUT! http://ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com/album/synthetiks-the-versions

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1350125008' post='1834809'] I've just retweeted this as BC - because it's good Incidentally, that was possibly the quickest retweeting time in history Thank you Shep. [/quote] Awesome. Thanks for the RT!

A little insight to one of the worlds top audio technology companies... 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] Morten Ehlers heads up the Bass Development side of TC Electronic, one of the largest and most successful music technology companies in the world. In between trade shows and a huge work load, Morten was kind enough to spend some time back-and-frothing with me over a few questions regarding TC Electronic's amplification and effects range, the technology behind it and why TC are such a huge player in today's market.

No worries! Fingers crossed it'll arrive a day or two before we leave for our Euro tour! So it'll be a couple of weeks before sound clips get done, though some live footage should happen!!
