[quote name='OldGit' post='462021' date='Apr 14 2009, 12:30 PM']Ah now that is a happy ending [/quote] A very happy ending -
Right, got my ACG preamp in and it's absolutely amazing! Very confident I can dial in a nice aggressive burpy low mid tone no problem. I've also changed from Nickel to Stainless Steel strings for a bit more of an edge, D'Addario Pro Steels to be precise and they're very very nice I had considered putting this one out to pasture, but not now, very very happy with it. Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Stacker' post='459121' date='Apr 10 2009, 10:54 AM']After a coupla decades on RS66 (and, occasionally, Warwick Reds) I am currentl running D'addario Pro Steels. Seriously, give 'em a go. Good VFM, too![/quote] The Nexus strings are off. The finish started flaking quite badly over the frets which makes me think they're no different to the spacers which where pulled a while ago. The strings are coated, but not coated enough obviously... Got some of those Pro Steels on now, very nice too Cheers, Eude -
OK guys, I had the ACG preamp installed in the Pub Bass and it's woken it up! The limitations of the vol/vol/tone controls have gone and I now have a bewildering range of options. As a result of this, this bass has been withdrawn from sale. Thanks for your interest though. Cheers, Eude

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='454424' date='Apr 4 2009, 11:49 PM']The up to date prices are here... Rich.[/quote] I did not need to see that! I thought a 6 string headless Original King Bass Std. with a bendwell would've not only been the stuff of a mad man's dreams but ludicrously expensive! It's terrifying to think that it'd only be £1695! I know it's a lot, but it's a lot of bass for that kind of money... Ooo errr... Eude

[quote name='OldGit' post='455733' date='Apr 6 2009, 06:48 PM']How are they doing?[/quote] Hey guys, the strings are OK, but not a revelation. The tension is a little too soft I think, I thought they where a lot like Sunbeams, but they're a little softer. They're not super bright, very nickel(y) but they're very even tone wise across the strings. They look awesome, but the finish has chipped away, albeit only slightly on one string, incidentally after I played them with a plectrum. They haven't changed at all brightness-wise since they've been on, and they've survived 2 practices and 2 gigs, which is quite impressive. Overall, they're alright but I'm going to go for something a bit brighter when they eventually wear out, might try the DR Black Beauties... Good buy if you like the sound of nickel strings and soft string tension, oh and they do look very very cool Cheers, Eude -
[quote name='wizbat' post='452893' date='Apr 3 2009, 12:30 AM']hey Eude! nice basses man! And I checked out ten storeys high tonite, I love fragile and dysfunctional, some great stuff going on there. As for serial numbers, Jon numbered mine one and two, now if I could remember which one is which!!!!. :-)[/quote] Thanks Wiz! Glad you like the tunes too! You can listen to a fair few more tunes here >> [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/tenstoreyshigh"]http://www.reverbnation.com/tenstoreyshigh[/url] Including some live ones! Cheers, Eude

Just got some cables from Dave. Fantastic sounding and looking! These are replacing my BassMonster cables and there's basically no difference, think they might even look cooler Great price and really fast service, will be buying some more soon, very soon. Thanks Dave!

I'll happily vouch for [b]Nectar3[/b] (Aly). He's recently joined my band on Keyboards/Geetar and is a really sound bloke. I can also vouch for this bass, I had a good shot of it last week at rehearsal and it's an absolute peach! It's in perfect nic and gets that wonderful classic Stingray sound straight off the bat. Cheers, Eude -
Absolutely gorgeous mate! Baby Doodle is a corker! Eude

[quote name='Mike' post='448505' date='Mar 29 2009, 07:27 AM']Ah, this is a shame. Now, a 33" jazz 4 is exactly what I want - I'm loving my 33" Shuker 5. However, I just bought a Moon 4 and Edinburgh is quite far away...I shall watch this thread with interest. Good luck![/quote] Hey Mike, still a little undecided, we'll see how the ACG Pre goes, should come next week sometime, I think. If I do end up parting with the bass though, I am in London for the weekend a fair bit so I could meet there, or near there with the bass to let anyone try it out. Cheers, Eude

Pic fixed now guys. Something had gone weird with my hosting. Jon, not totally set on selling yet, but it's a possibility. I just wish I was rich enough to shelve this bass for the right occasion, and orde something more suitable... Cheers, Eude

Hey guys, still not close to being decided on this. I just want to see if there might be any interested folks out there. I got this bass to use as my gigging instrument to save me worrying about my 6 string Shuker in and around seedier venues... I opted to go for something very different sound-wise to contrast nicely with my 6 string and provide me with a bigger tonal palette for recording, however my ear always leans back to a more grunty, low mid rangey, aggressive sound, ala MusicMan, and I can't really get anything close to that on this bass without relying heavily on the EQ of my amp. I am giving the bass one last chance however. I'm fitting an ACG preamp ASAP, this might fix the problem, however if it doesn't this bass will be up for sale, with or without the ACG preamp to fund another more suitable custom. I've also found that I'm missing my low B string a fair bit too, more than I thought I would Once again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bass at all, it's a brilliant instrument, but it's not quite meeting my needs. It's very lightweight, a breeze to play and provides a really nice range of warm, dark vintage tones, unfortunately I need something more modern, burpy and aggressive. It's in absolutely perfect condition, only a few months old and has only been gigged 3 times and would come with a Gator hard case. I will not be looking for trades, as I now know I need something very specific to me, so it's unlikely that anyone has anything suitable... Here's the spec >> Downsized J Bass shape, Slab Finished Black Walnut body with Black Wet Look Gloss finish and matching headstock 33" Scale 5 piece Mahogany/Wenge neck with graphite rods, 22 frets and Rosewood Fingerboard EMG JV pickups and electronics with vol /vol /tone control layout More pics here >> [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39571"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39571[/url] PM me if you're interested or have any questions.

[quote name='peted' post='445641' date='Mar 26 2009, 07:00 AM']Received an email from Jon last night. The body has been routed, shaped and is ready to accept the neck. The neck is cut and routed to shape ready for the fretboard. Once the fretboard is on the neck can be glued into the body. I've been told that I shall receive some photos tomorrow. Glee [/quote] Wow! That's quick mate! Good news though, can't wait to see 'em pics! Eude

[b]Whynot [/b]- Awesome looking bass dude, shame it's the wrong way round Quick question, how close a sound can you get to a proper Musicman Stingray with the MM pickup? I played a Stingray 5 for the first time tonight and I think I'm in love... Cheers, Eude

That is gorgeous mate! I was wondering who the flaming Finn was for. Jealous Eude

[quote name='BASSISACE' post='443633' date='Mar 24 2009, 12:18 PM']Loving your Pub bass, stunning, how long did you wait for it? What aspects of the bass are unique to you / your request I received my Shuker JJ Burnel signature bass 3 weeks ago, 8 months wait but worth the wait, it's all powerful!, a growler, the finish is perfect. The only special request I had was making my daughters birth date the serial number. Jon Shuker is a master craftsman, a topper of a guy too.[/quote] Hey man, the bass took about 10 months, quite a bit longer than Jon originally quoted, however, in the grand scheme of things, not that long compared to other builders, certainly luthiers from overseas... There's quite a lot about the pub bass that is unique to me. The Scale length is 33", the body has a slab finish, i.e. less contours like an old school P Bass, the woods involved are a bit unusual for a Jazz Style Bass too, American Black Walnut for the body with a 5 piece Mahogany/Wenge neck, as I wanted to have something that would contrast nicely with the bright aggressive tone of six string. The electronics and pickups where to also help with the contrast, but as I mentioned before, the vol/vol/tone setup that came with the EMGs just doesn't do enough for me, so it's getting an ACG preamp Not entirely sure if either of mine have a serial number, where is yours?... You'll need to post some pics of your bass on here dude, I'm sure there's a load of people who'd like to see it! I see you're from Aberdeen, do you reckon you'll be abe to make the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40267"]Scotland/North of England Bass Bash[/url] in Moffat? I'll be bringing along both my Shukers which people are more than welcome to have a go on. Cheers, Eude

The Pub Bass will be getting an ACG preamp next month, which I'm very excited about The standard vol/vol/tone that came with the EMG set just isn't cutting it, struggling to get anything close to "my sound" and I don't like to rely on my amp for tone. If it all goes well, which I'm sure it will, I imagine I might be dropping one into the 6er too - watch this space... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='396096' date='Jan 31 2009, 01:02 PM']Ohh ... if you're not going fretless then you have to work on that angle ... even if anodising isn't the answer. I wasn't just talking about looks as it happens .... fretless and unlined is my kind of bass, and LaBella black tapes have just become my favourite kind of string.[/quote] I've fitted some new Rotosound Nexus strings, which are nice and black, so I've nearly got the look you mention above... Cheers, Eude
