Rich

I've been lucky too, over the years [i]all[/i] the drummers I've played with have been really nice guys, they've all been good and one or two have been astonishing. There's nothing quite like the feeling of locking in with a good drummer... Getting a groove going, feeling it drive along, sharing a quick glance and knowing exactly where that fill is going and nailing it perfectly... Nothing makes a band sound really tight quite like a good close Engine Room. Damn, I love my job

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1114503' date='Feb 3 2011, 08:57 PM']I mean a bass clinic can you think of anything more dull?[/quote] Depends if you're one who enjoys, or sees the value in, bass clinics.

Well it's the thought that counts Al, and that's a lovely one. I'd have been proud to have played it.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='1110075' date='Jan 31 2011, 08:40 PM']I've thought that actually! Now with locks 'n blocks [/quote] Blocks?? How? Oh god. A white one just became even harder to resist.

I would endorse Jon Shuker's basses and Genz-Benz amps in a heartbeat, and never use anything else ever again. Generally, if I endorsed a product I would feel honour bound to use it exclusively.

[quote name='gub' post='1108373' date='Jan 30 2011, 05:53 PM']I for one could`nt give a toss if he is fasionabubble or not i think he is great bass player and done some great stuff over the years. [/quote] +1. I don't care how naff he's supposed to be, some of his albums are among my absolute favourites of all time.

Oh yes, it's a belting bass part. Love it. I hope you've got a good vocalist

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1106582' date='Jan 28 2011, 06:59 PM']Titebond should see you nicely. Just remember to clamp it up firmly.[/quote] Agreed. I used Titebond 3 to mend some garden furniture last year. It is [i]ridiculously[/i] powerful stuff. Sets harder than Araldite.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1106780' date='Jan 28 2011, 10:14 PM']Anyone know how to get the Maple FB option??[/quote] If you find out how, please let me know. At that point, it will become completely irresistible.

Oh hells bells... a 5-string PJ like that one, in the same candyapple red, would be enough to see my Status up for sale...

[quote name='mart' post='1103780' date='Jan 26 2011, 03:02 PM']Won't you get a better sound out of the kettle by using a good instrument cable?[/quote] If you use one of those audiophile £2000 mains leads, it even makes your tea taste better.

God, what a tough choice. Red, white, dark- or light-blue..? I quite fancy white.

What on earth is going on with the ramp and the bridge p/u..?

[quote name='tom1946' post='1103972' date='Jan 26 2011, 04:32 PM']I've seen the guitars, don't bother [/quote] Why's that? apart from them being [i]guitars[/i], of course.

[quote name='markstuk' post='1103941' date='Jan 26 2011, 04:14 PM']Wonder what the Les paul is like?[/quote] Mate of mine is sorely tempted by the gold-top. If he gets it, I'll let you know.

I've modified the title to try to get round the autocapitalisatory thingy. What a cracking bass. Welcome to the Shuklub

Good god. Just been looking at the shop, the spec says [i]"Fingerboard: polished rosewood or maple with dot markers"[/i] but there doesn't seem to be any way of choosing. If you could definitely get a maple board, I reckon I'd have one in a shot.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='1102590' date='Jan 25 2011, 07:12 PM']I work full time as a sound engineer too and this is spot on.[/quote] Joe, the FOH sound you gave us at the Fiddlers is still the best we've ever had there.

I've never got on with Ricky basses. So no matter how good the black/white one might look, I don't want one. I don't. I really don't. I don't. [size=1]arrghhh, yes i do[/size]
