Suppose I can revive this thread for a bit. Also. This is my 1000th post

Super easy deal with Dean...actually probably my quickest sale on here! Happily deal with Dean again. Cheers for sending some pics of your Shuker course build bass too

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1431984025' post='2777058'] Are you sure that was what he/she said? Lovely bass in all seriousness. Will confess to lusting after an Uber spec ACG after playing the blue ART finish Recurve, like Eude said great the way every note is so well defined. [/quote] I imagine so. I'm used to being called a tool so I usually recognise that phrase

I'd agree with you there. Also find that because of that every nuance in your playing is audible. Which if anything I find will help me even out my playing and be more critical of it, which is a good thing for me at least!

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1431946935' post='2776396'] Complete and utter Filth! I'm extremely jealous of course. Congrats mate. How're you enjoying those amazing pickups? Eude [/quote] Loving them so far. Haven't had too much of a chance to play with it at volume but punchy as a punchy thing so far but can be dialled to a smooth thump with ease. The neck is the thing I'm most impressed by I think. Just plays effortlessly

The board really is something else. I love the two tone effect it has, really goes with the curves of the body* * I could just be making things up for during my while staring at it.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1431801613' post='2775182'] That whole bass looks like lava!! Very powerful in the right hands though! [/quote] I always liked how the fretboard wood flowed up the neck, does look a bit fiery! and that was my thoughts exactly, given enough time spent with it it'll be a great all round tool

My experience with a Wal involves listening to Tool over and over again but I have no doubt that this can get those tones if the knowledge of the preamp allows it!

[size=4]Had this ACG on order for a while and picked it up yesterday and gigged it last night (with 3 compliments and one "you sound like that bloke from tool").

One thing I have noticed in my short time with it is that each pickup provides great tones when used on their own. I've never played a bass where I liked the sound of the neck pickup solo until now. The neck is an absolute joy to play and found last nights set so much easier to play on this compared to my Warwick.[/size][/font] [font=inherit]Will hopefully try and get some sound examples when I know the preamp a bit better.[/font] [font="inherit"]anyway, onto the good part. Sorry for my crappy photography, natural light is [/font]sparse[font="inherit"] round these parts.[/font] [font=inherit][size=1][/size][/font]

About time! Looks great Kev!

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1431718584' post='2774403'] I like Superdry t-shirts. According to one ex BC member that makes me the scummiest chav imaginable! [/quote] I also like Superdry t-shirts...I also a most exclusively wear Adidas trainers. think I'm doomed really.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1431607145' post='2773103'] Sounding good min! [/quote] Thank ya! If you get a gig in Glasgow I'll try and pop in

[quote name='b7l4s' timestamp='1431606830' post='2773095'] Guess I'm in. Can I [s]buy[/s] have a ciggie off anyone? [/quote] fixed

Meant to post this earlier but been too busy (read: I forgot). My band are playing in Bungalow, Paisley tomorrow night supporting Australian band Osaka Punch (think Mars Volta, Electric Six and Mr Bungle lovechild). Tis a great venue and only £3 a ticket. Enough marketing but here is a demo thing we done a while back! Full set is mostly funk-rock type nonsense https://soundcloud.com/goon-and-the-kings/dark-side Cameron

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1431593103' post='2772835'] It looks awesome... you'll have to do an NBD thread when it arrives and make us all jealous [/quote] Shall do. Will try and get some sound samples if I can (read: if everybody ignores my awful playing)

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1431551280' post='2772608'] Wohoooo! [/quote] My thoughts exactly!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1431543558' post='2772483'] I don't think you'll be unhappy - I love my SC Harlot - thankfully Alan hasn't made too many others so it remains a rarity (for now anyway). Bet you can't wait... [/quote] Is that the one that has a few vids on YouTube? The Harlot shape has been appealing to me lately! As for the being disappointed...I was sent pictures of it and I can't wait. not often I get excited about things.

Picking this up on Friday. Excited doesn't cut it.

I can't say I've ever played to a large crowd (largest was maybe 100ish) but I find the less people watching the colder the reception. don't really get nervous at any gigs though (although I will on Fridays as we're doing a rather tricky song (mostly worried the drummer won't forget changes!))

Volume up full on the bass and control dynamics with my playing.Works best for me and saves fiddling with volume controls. Also find this easiest when playing songs that have a lot of loud and soft sections.

Duracells for me too. No issues with them since I've been playing bass.

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1431262308' post='2769328'] No p bass, but I drive this, which I'm pretty sure qualifies me here [/quote] I'm not sure of the rules but I'd say you definitely qualify.
