    Reading these comments makes me think I made the right move ordering from Jon Shuker. I wanted a P bass with a J neck and went right around the houses in my thought process. Custom build to my spec with roughly the same wait time and probably not much difference in price.

    Received positive feedback on eBay with 'Yeah, that's sick' as the comment. Does that mean he wants to return it? 🤷‍♂️

      At least he took the time to feed back. More than I can say for the majority of the others I’ve sold to.

      Were you selling Vomit??

    Yes, I really like these DT770’s. Really open sound and far more subtle than my previous cheapo practice pair. Needs a little more on the dial of my Bass Buddy to achieve what I perceive to be the same volume level as the old ones, but I’m really happy with the purchase. I haven’t noticed the slight increase in weight at all and I notice that my ears were not hot and sweaty after an extended use, maybe because they sit further off the ear than my old ones. I bought them from Anderston’s who seemed to offer the best deal at the time. Tracked delivery via DPD included in the price.

    Yes my box arrived, but the CD’s didn’t until yesterday.

    Pathetically materialistic of me I know, but it makes me very happy to complete the set with case. The full CD set is going for stupid money on eBay, the vinyl set for even more. Not selling mine though. Nothing like getting that Friday feeling on with a bit of Bowie in the background.

    To a certain extent I agree with both comments, but there was never a need to copy the originals when you have musicians that are talented enough to produce equally valid and different versions. I'm a massive Bowie fan (obviously), but I'm not one of these people that are so tied into the Ziggy era (for example) that nothing else will do. Here's an example (of which there are many) where GAD does more than Trevor did on the original. This is the line I choose to play when we perform it. Trevor with additional frills if you like 😀

    Meant to say @Bluewine, Having watched the NYE video, it's the same crew as Maple Road isn't it? Does this originals band run alongside Maple Road or is MR done?

    Is there supposed to be a link? Although I’m fairly sure I know what video you’re referring to. That’s the one version of TMWSTW I haven’t played live yet. We’re doing the Lulu version at the moment.
  9. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Almost the same vintage as your old one isn't it?

    Mmm. I don’t agree. Certainly not with the idea that she simplified the songs anyway. I believe Bowie encouraged interpretation. If he didn’t, Garson wouldn’t have been around for long.

    Sorry to hear that. Kick it to the kerb 👊
  12. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I’m not sure the button thing was particularly well received either. Wouldn’t have bothered me personally.
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I think the shape put a lot of people off. I tried one at a bass show and really liked it.
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Fixed. I tried so hard to stop myself from doing that, but I couldn’t resist 😂
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I know what I’m doing this afternoon 😀.
  16. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Mmm, ‘Alister’ you say? Welcome, I guess, but ‘Who’ are you really? 😉
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Welcome back. Not sure what it is you're going through, but it sounds like you're on the up and looking forward to the rest of 2021 👍

    #1 (left) now officially has my name on it.
  19. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Well that didn’t take long 😂

    Jon tells me that the one in the middle is classed as 5A and the ones either side are Master Grade. My initial thought was the one on the left as the one on the right has some broader stripes in it.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Just for you @Woodinblack.... Jon has just me some photos of a choice of three neck blanks to choose from. One pic is dry wood, the other is wet to give an idea of lacquer finish.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yes, I think that was the trolley I remember being spoken about. Not sure if Lidl are still selling them though.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    In fact, looking at @Happy Jack’s link, it may well have been that one.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I seem to remember reading a thread about trolleys here a while back. From memory, I think was a sturdy affordable option that a lot of users liked, but I can’t remember what it was or how long ago. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Hi, could I just confirm nut width and weight please.
