And then it happens with the amps as well [/quote]
Jeez, that must sound enormous

I use a folding sack trolley bought in Aldi for my 4x10s, it handles them with no trouble at all and they're 45Kg a piece

Yeah, I've read that article before. It's a bit of an eye opener isn't it?

In fact, anything done by anyone born on the 31st of January (any year) is going to be brilliant.

I have used Strings and Beyond myself many times and always had great service. They may not stock that many brands of bass strings, though for DR's their spot on.


Hope that helps

Surely you have the possibility of incurring customs charges etc with that?

Oh, that is just stunning, an amazing colour

Haway in bonny lad

Welcome

I like the S1 switching in my Jazz, it gives added variety to the bass. Well worth it IMO

[quote name='budget bassist' post='729369' date='Jan 30 2010, 01:06 AM']Grats man, that thing deserves a long term owner, she's special, i only wish it could have sounded how i wanted! Alas, i'm a warwick man through and through![/quote]

You're right Sam, she is special.

While I'm here, I'd like to know what tool you guys use to adjust the Stingray Truss rod (just after a consensus of opinion)

Pete

For me it's this

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='729039' date='Jan 29 2010, 06:39 PM']Very nice, Pete. I liked this bass when it was Sam's & if I'd have had the money at the time, I'd have snapped it up very quickly. Nice score, mate! [/quote]


[quote name='Marvin' post='729042' date='Jan 29 2010, 06:40 PM']I'm almost as bowled over by the case lining it's wild.
Cool bass as well btw. You're a lucky man [/quote]

Thanks guys. I think so too, it really is an absolute stunner, in looks, sound and playability. My Shuker is sulking

Ah, GAD....that must be the much more severe and possibly fatal version of GAS, where the afflicted are seen to stand in music shops wide-eyed, drooling and wetting themselves.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='665167' date='Nov 25 2009, 03:09 PM']feast your eyes on this, ladies and gentlemen

Ah, there she is. This one's mine now and here it shall stay

(Hope you don't mind me using your pics Sam)

[quote name='budget bassist' post='725464' date='Jan 26 2010, 05:20 PM']nice you still enjoying the ray then?[/quote]
Loving it Sam, thank you so very much!


[quote name='Stingray5' post='725483' date='Jan 26 2010, 05:27 PM']In threads where people show a collection of their basses, I like to ask what would be their desert-island bass if they had to pick just one.
I think in this case, T, the desert island could be more of a looming reality than you think!
Nice quartet by the way. So, which one will it be? [/quote]

You had to say that didn't you?

Which one would I choose? That's a hell of a question.
Part of me says it has to be the Shuker; I had a hand in it's design, I waited an age for it and I love it to bits. However the Stingray, well.............

Pete

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='725447' date='Jan 26 2010, 05:11 PM']That's the first 'Ray i've liked the look of in ages, nice collection![/quote]
Many thanks! I reckon I am now Bass GAS free......time to sort the rig

Haha, there's no money left

In keeping with the sofa theme, I'll post this here too



Cheers

[quote name='Sibob' post='725290' date='Jan 26 2010, 03:27 PM']Ah ok cool, looks sweet none the less, is it an olympic white....or slighty 'brighter'?

I'm a bit of a traditionlist, but that Shuker always does it for me!

Si[/quote]

Yeah, it's Oly White.

And thanks for the compliment, it's not to everyones taste but I love it (sounds amazing too)

[quote name='Sibob' post='725279' date='Jan 26 2010, 03:17 PM']The '06 MIA Jazzes had matching headstocks??

Si[/quote]

Nah mate, it's an FSR (Factory Special Run) I suspect it was a run that was made specifically for Guitar Center in the States.

Pete

Seeing as how I've recently had a new acquisition (Thanks to Budget Bassist), I thought I'd post a simple little group shot for your delectation (well mine really, it's for your sufferance )


From L-R Shuker Bolt on Elite, Stingray 4 HH 2008 LE, 06 S1 USA Fender Jazz FSR, Ibanez BTB550 (which needs new pickups)
