While looking around the web I came across the Ritter website. Some of these basses are absolutely stunning but is the price tag really worth it? I'm not just talking about Ritter I'm talking about all the really high end stuff. I've got a Shuker Jazz with which I've just fitted an East J-Retro which in my opinion is the mutts nuts, it's the one bass to rule them all and I am the lord of the strings. The quality of sound and craftsmanship are superb. It wasn't cheap by any means but what I'm saying is are these TOP end basses so much better that they cost in excess of 4,5,6 times the cost of my Shuker? Can they really play and sound that good?

I think he's awesome. I think I'll get his album. Take a look at his other videos on YouTube.

I was bored yesterday floating about the internet looking for basses that I'll never afford and I came across this guy. Check him out [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuZLtMrCOoU&feature=feedu[/media] Totally inspiring

I just downloaded this software on Joe Hubbard's website. [url="http://www.joehubbardbass.com/473/ear-training/"]http://www.joehubbardbass.com/473/ear-training/[/url] I just gave it my first shot and scored an amazing 19.2% More practice needed me thinks. Give it a go

I've recently put a John East preamp in my Shuker and I think its fabulous. BTW, nice bass

Good idea. Whats the difference between the acg and John East?

I like the funky stuff and rock music mainly mate but I'll.have a go at anything really I dont mind having to learn how it works as long as its good :-)

Hi guys, with christmas approaching and being a big kid, I've started to wonder what the wife should get me. Last year it was a Shuker Jazz and for this year I'd like to get a preamp for it to make it the ultimate do anything Jazz I've narrowed it down too two John East j retro and an ACG EQ02 Is there any one who has had any experience with these who could give me some advice on sounds and installation Thanks in advance

Thanks Merello, It was originally up for £1450 but I had it for £850 with a hiscox case

Basically this is just another excuse for me to show off my beautiful Shuker.........

It's a truly fantastic instrument that just seems to grow with me.

I was just wondering if its possible to convert my passive jazz into an active and would it really be worth the effort and cost?
