  1. Awesome news dude! Can't wait to see the finished article, you lucky beggar... Cheers, Eude
  2. [quote name='Bassmonster' post='371913' date='Jan 6 2009, 12:45 PM']sounded pretty good to my ears, but yeah you do look a little rough [/quote] Cheeky Bugger! Notice in the first clip I keep touching my nose? That was to try and stop it running all over my lovely new bass. Note to self - blow nose before going on stage! Any sign of your bass yet mate? Eude
  3. Since getting my Shuker J Bass, I'm getting the horn for all things Jazz Bass and the Sadowsky basses are certainly the daddy where Jazz Basses are concerned. I'm not sure that subscribing to this topic is a particularly good idea... Nice basses guys! Eude
  4. Well our lead singer found some clips from the Pub Bass's first outing. Somebody in the audience was obviously filming and saw fit to put them on Youtube, we're all pretty flattered, so I thought I'd share the tracks. Last Leaf Hanging >> [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=21-CqjHr7-A"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=21-CqjHr7-A[/url] Nothings Too Much >> [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BM23ZK_z8-k"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BM23ZK_z8-k[/url] Apologies for my sloppy playing, it was the day after my 30th birthday, I'd barely slept, was beginning to develop the man flu and was getting to grips with a new bass with only 4 strings I think I got away with it, but only just... The first clip instils just how much I need a decent Fuzz pedal, I should never have sold my Big Muff! The gig was also filmed professionally and the audio ripped straight from the desk, so there might be some better footage to post soon. Cheers, Eude
  5. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='369073' date='Jan 3 2009, 01:40 AM']There must be some news by now...?[/quote] I should think so... Don't leave us in suspense dood Eude
  6. Cheers guys! I'm right chuffed with it. No black frets I'm afraid, but I just might put on some of those black DR strings though Eude
  7. Yup, a cracking looking pair there dude! Might have to take some photos of my Shuker siblings together too. Congrats once again mate! Eude
  8. That's gorgeous Mike! Certainly worth the wait I'd imagine. How you getting on with the 33" scale? How's it tuned? I'm still loving it. Cheers, Eude
  9. [quote name='Mike' post='367164' date='Dec 31 2008, 03:45 PM']Looks great buddy! Classy and functional, seems to be how you intended! 'Grats! Oh, mine's finished too, check the build thread and bass porn if you fancy![/quote] Going there now! Eude
  10. Cheers guys, I am very very happy with the bass! Had it's first gig on Sunday night and it really performed well, although I made a few mistakes having played 6 strings exclusively for the last two years... There might be some video footage kicking around as it was filmed, but that'll have to be screened first. I'll certainly have some photos of it in action soon though. Sorry [b]Bass_Ferret[/b], she's staying put. The next one will be a bit more like a table top though... Cheers, Eude
  11. Hey guys, I've spent a wee while playing the bass now and I'm over the moon! Here's a few bad photos, I'll hopefully get some pics of it in use from our gig on Sunday night... [attachment=17741:IMG_1616.JPG] [attachment=17742:IMG_1617.JPG] [attachment=17743:IMG_1614.JPG] [attachment=17744:IMG_1618.JPG] Like I mentioned before, it's incredibly small lightweight, but I 'spose I am used to playing a 6 string single cut. The body feels great on and the neck is really fast and easy to get around. Yet again Jon has nailed the sounds I asked for in this bass. Lots of low mid grunt and growl as usual, but with a bit more of a classic dark warm sound to it. It can do the classic 60's scooped Jazz Bass sound and it also manages to do a pretty decent Precision Bass impression with the front pickup soloed. It will never be as versatile as my Single Cut, but that was never part of the plan anyway, it does exactly what it says on the tin, so I'm pretty darned chuffed. Bear in mind, all I've managed to play the bass through so far is my little sis's Peavey 8" Bass Combo, so when I get this thing through my Aguilar cab and eventually a P.A. its going to be scary! Only one con, I'd originally spec'd a Brass Nut, and it arrived with a plastic one, not sure this was due to a Jon's choice because he thougt it'd be better for the desired sounds, or maybe it was a wee mistake thanks to me rushing Jon to get it out the door, that said though, I am very happy with the sound, so although I know it'd be very easy to ammend, I reckon I'll leave it for now. More soon... Hope everyone is having a good Christmas! Eude
  12. Yay! I got the bass! It got delivered yesterday to my parents, and it took until now before I could get to it. It's so sexy, lightweight and plays like a dream. Have yet to plug it in though, as everyone is in bed, but I'll get that donr tomorrow. Some pics and a proper review soon! Cheers, Eude
  13. [quote name='6stringbassist' post='361596' date='Dec 23 2008, 12:26 AM']Try the Lo rider nickel, they're a bit stiffer than the sunbeams, they have a hexagonal core instead of a round core. You may have to order them, I got mine from Mark at Bassdirect.[/quote] Thanks mate, I'll give them a go. Cheers, Eude
  14. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='361785' date='Dec 23 2008, 10:50 AM']I'd love to see a mini vertically stacked 2x12 Vintage when the Eminence 3012s are released...[/quote] Me too! However, a 4 ohm 12" with a mid range speaker would probably be perfect, with a vintage grill cloth or course Eude
  15. [quote name='6stringbassist' post='358452' date='Dec 19 2008, 12:22 AM']Sorry, I ended up using them myself.[/quote] No bother mate. How do you rate them? I'm currently using some DR Steel Low Riders, but I'm definitely more of a Nickel guy, I love Sun Beams, although they're maybe a little too soft on a 33" scale, and I've used some SIT ones which where pretty good and a lot cheaper, but I'm really interested in the Fodera strings, a lot of folks seem to like them. Cheers, Eude

  17. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='360737' date='Dec 22 2008, 10:01 AM']No I didn't mate, sorry. I only had 45mins there and couldn't really hang around. [/quote] No bother mate, just thought I'd ask. I asked Jon for a finished photo, but it's getting delivered tomorrow morning, so no point bothering now. Back on topic, your headless bass is making me GAS so damned hard for a headless 6er of my own, I think I might have to stop checking this thread till I can afford a deposit!... Cheers, Eude
  18. Right, just like [b]Bassmonster's[/b] the bass is being picked up today and delivered tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I have to have it delivered to my parents' house so I won't get my mitts on it till Wednesday night, still at least it'll be before Christmas! Nearly there... Eude
  19. Don't suppose you clocked an all black Jazz Bass while you where there did you?... Cheers, Eude
  20. Holy Crap! That is Gorgeous! Nice one Kiwi! Eude
  21. Hey man, that bass looks amazing, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait! Mine is arriving on Tuesday too, but at my folks as I mentioned, so I won't get mine till Wednesday night. Looks like we'll both be having a nice Christmas after all... Cheers, Eude
  22. [quote name='alexclaber' post='357470' date='Dec 18 2008, 12:20 AM']Logo: Alex[/quote] Very nice Alex, looks very pro. I take it, it's going to sit on the top left of the face? Eude
  23. [quote name='6stringbassist' post='83710' date='Nov 4 2007, 09:45 PM']These are top quality bass strings used by Matt Garrison, and all sorts of people like that. The gauges are 125, 105, 85, 65, 45, 30. They came by mistake, I'd ordered stainless steel, I'm not a fan of nickel strings so I've never used these. £30 including postage.[/quote] Hey man, just stumbled across this post having searched in Google for Fodera Strings... Are these still available? If so, would you be willing to put them on hold till I get paid, on the 29th? Cheers, Eude
  24. [quote name='funkle' post='355889' date='Dec 16 2008, 01:06 PM']Can't wait to see the pics of this! Pete[/quote] Yup, neither can I. We'll need to sort out an opportunity for you to have a go of it to in the new year. Hope you're well! Eude
  25. [quote name='Bassmonster' post='355815' date='Dec 16 2008, 11:50 AM']another update, got an email from Jon last night to say he still had the LED switch to fit!, but expects the bass to be shipped on monday, and i SHOULD receive it tues, i am also expecting a pic, the first since august!, Eude looks like i was right about the discount thing [/quote] Yup, you're bang on. I've arranged to have it picked up Monday and delivered Tuesday too. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to have it delivered to ME on Tuesday, so it's going to my folks' place... I was going to drive down for Christmas on the Wednesday via Glasgow to get my sis, but I think I'll have to drive down on Tuesday night just to get my hands on the bass, I'll just have to drive the extra miles on Wednesday... I've also asked Jon for a photo of the finished bass, just to tide me over. Nearly there... Eude
