Mike Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi all - finally, an up-to-date family picture! [b]Back L-R:[/b] Bassix Jazz EUB, Ken Smith BT6, Cort GB-75 [b]Front L-R:[/b] 1975 Fender Jazz, Shuker Custom Jazz 4, 1968 Fender Jazz (modded with EMG active pups & fretless lined ebony board - no, it wasn't me!), 1984 Ibanez Musician. This are the basses that I gig with, and get regular usage: 75 Jazz, Shuker, 69 Jazz, Ken Smith. I'm using the Cort to tide me over as Jon Shuker is building me a matching 5 string but in Red, with delano pickups, and macassar board & blocks (think a snazzy 66 Candy Apple Red Fender!) This is the pedalboard I use, should you be interested. Custom-made (by myself, a complete duffer at anything manly like DIY). This comprises: Sadowsky DI, Boss LMB3 Limiter, EBS Octabass octaver, Boss TU2 Tuner, Danelectro Autowah and a not-often used programmable Tech 21 Sansamp. I also use Markbass gear - a 1x12 combo, with a 2x10 extension. Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 +1 They all look good but that 75 Jazz looks fantastic, as does the Ken Smith! You must be a very happy man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You need a '70's Precision to set that lot off Beautiful collection Mike, love that upright. The Jazzes of course are to die for also Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm extremely happy with "the herd". Sometimes I wonder why I keep the Ibby Musician, then I play it and remember what a stonking bass it is in it's own right. For a while it was my main gigging bass, then the 75 jazz was, and now it's the Shuker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
