Id be up for that if you dont mind buddy. I will share petrol costs with you.

[josh3184]

I'd probably come to the NW bash too (I'm such a whore)

May be able to bring a shuttle 6.0 now due to developments in the last hour so that might help ampage wise?

[Mike Batt]

Would be up for this and would bring my Shuker Jazz (and Ampeg SVT-3 Pro if needed). Only problem is I'm currently suffering from a lack of transport. I live in between Lincoln & Newark. Anyone driving from that area? Happy to share costs.

You should invite a singer,then there will be some girls!!!

[The Bass Doc]

You may wish to publish directions to the venue but would it involve any right hand turns?

[josh3184]

I'm sure that counts as racism of some sort...

What about lefties that play lefty but have their strings righty?

(Not that I can make it anyway - it would be a giggle)

[josh3184]

did i see you at the harogate bass bash? Someone had a lefty shuker strung righty. That was a proper kick in the balls after seeing the beloved lefty body shape

That's just plain wrong!

It's odd that Jimi Goodwin from The Doves plays a righty Precision upside down, the neck dive must be a real pain! i've nedver understood it myself

I'm gonna have to pass on this one, but i hope you all have a great day and don't make yourselves sick on fizzy pop, sherbert dib dabs, jelly and ice cream.

You did indeed (twas my Shuker). Still, I recall you doing OK with it despite the strings being upside down.

Neck dive isn't that much of a problem (well, it wasn't on the Hohner I used to play). It's more the balance of the body. It tends to want to tip forward. And because the strap is across the back of the neck, getting beyond the 12th fret is very awkward.

i'd be up for this, is there anyone else making the trip from southlondon who would want to lift share? it seems a bit of bitch to get there by public transport.
could bring my self built monster, a little mark II and a few box's of tricks

[josh3184]

just going to revive this thread as it seemed to have died! Forgot to say that the shuker was gorgeous even though it was strung the wrong way
