artisan Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) No not the rasping smelly kind I have really bad gas for a Duke bass,anyone got one or played one? Edited February 19, 2014 by artisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I believe Rabbie has one. He had it up for sale last year and I would have bought it from him if it hadn't meant a 10 hour round trip for me. Never tried one though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mmmmm Rabbie's bass is very nice indeed Rev. I am gasing for a Duke two-tone,i keep gazing at the photo's on their website while my credit card runs for cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBass Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If you look at Duke Bass' facebook page, Thomas put some photos up yesterday of a dark brown left-handed 2-tone that's going to be heading my way very shortly. So I'll gladly tell you all about it once its here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please do let me know all about it,i really want one & the missus has given me the go ahead,all i need now is some money I spoke to Thomas yesterday,what a great bloke he is too,he told me he doesn't ship his basses but knows a company local to him who can. Is this how you are shipping yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBass Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, Thomas is a really good guy. He sends his basses to a company caled Bassico to ship, that's how mine's coming over and I believe how Rabbie's was sent as well (based on aprevious thread somewhere). Shipping to the UK is costing me 150 euro. I really struggled with the decision because of the lack of Duke owners in this country to get opinions from. But I'm lucky (in a weird way) to have much less choice than right-handed folks, and a left-handed Duke was really one of the only possible upgrades from my beloved Strunal 50/4 (without spending £000s more). As such once mine's here, I'll make a point of doing a post about it and maybe posting some sound samples if my playing isn't too shameful.

artisan Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Andy,i look forward to your review especially on how it compares to the Strunal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi guys, sorry about my lateness in this thread. As a proud Duke owner and player of it everywhere from studio to clubs to theatres to big open air festivals please allow me to say with all sincerity: DUKE RULES!! And Thomas is the best guy in the world to deal with. Honestly fella, if you play roots music and live in Europe, look no further. Even if you play jazz and just want to swing hard a la be-bop way old style bass playing, again look no further. Ask me any questions you want I am passionate about how great my Duke sounds. New album will be released soon with Duke very prominent in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am defo going to get one in the future,can't afford one just yet though but i think it will happen. It will mean i have to sell my Strunal though but i should get good money back for a well setup/sorted bass. Can you put me down for a copy of your new album once its released please,can't wait to hear the Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Sure thing my friend. New band, good fun, we literally just put preview tracks [url="http://www.robertocassani.co.uk"]here[/url] - this is with an all-gut set up, which is the normal for me. I also played on only one modern folky album with steels on the Duke [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/kilmarnock-edition/id569064175"]here[/url] and it sounded great; real decent sound for a plywood IMO, shame about the fingers playing it.
