I don't use the blocks to look where I'm playing, I just think they look great, purely cosmetic.

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1338079131' post='1669475'] I disagree but of course different strokes for different folks.

Totally disagree, I love me a maple with black blocks! You're all wrong'uns

If anyone decides to order, maybe someone could sort a joint order to get a discount like Shep? Count me in for a pitch box if anyone does!

In my instance it was my own doing I guess, and I wouldn't expect anyone to part with cash for an amp that wasn't for them, I'm not gonna tar the person with the timewaster brush necessarily, just a bit miffed that my time was most definitely wasted...

Tonight has taught me not to be so agreeable as to say I will do an 80 mile round trip and sit for an hour whilst someone tries an amp out, on one of my very few nights off work, for very minimal petrol costs! Polite head still on /end vent...

When I think of 60's/70's thick bluesy tone and short scale, I instantly think Gibson myself, as they were around on a lot of stuff from that era with a nice solid thud of a sound like you get from EB0's etc...

Yeah, Ableton live with a mid floor pedal to select parts sounds like the way to go to me.

Blimey that's a nice bass Best of luck mate, hope it finds it's way home!

I've been playing about 15yrs and still don't even consider myself a good bassist! I quit completely cold turkey for a couple of years and after I got out of practice I've never really got my confidence back.

I think I posted this a while back when we first recorded it, well since then its had a slight remix and is our first single, out with a local label called Longevity Records! Available on iTunes and all the usual places as of tomorrow! Have a quick eyeball of the video if you are at all interested, and feel free to buy it if you like it [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcvCRSdX7AQ[/media] LINKS - [url="http://www.hmvdigital.com/artists/dresden/fibua/01-FIBUA"]http://www.hmvdigita.../fibua/01-FIBUA[/url] [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fibua/dp/B007O5JC76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337547086&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.co...37547086&sr=8-1[/url]

Not sure how much bigger the keys are cos I've never used a microkorg, but I use a novation bass station, gonna flog it soon, cos I only use it for one song

[quote name='Johnnyc' timestamp='1337327877' post='1658031'] Anyone tried one with a Barefaced Super 12? I reckon that would make an epic lightweight, ridiculously loud rig! [/quote] I haven't tried a super 12, but I use it with a compact and it is very much an epic lightweight, ridiculously loud rig

I can PM you what mine cost new, but sure you probably paid the same...

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1337202744' post='1657199'] There's something functional about Fenders and Musicman basses, they just don't look right with gold hardware to my eyes. [/quote] See now if for me, you took the original bass pictured, and swapped all gold hardware, for all BLACK hardware... then yeah, nice.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1337202215' post='1657188'] It looks like a wide boy's en-suite. [/quote] Hahaha, eloquently summed up

That's a nasty bass!

Let us know how the shimverb and pitch box are Shep! I'm mainly interested in the pitch box myself.

Quite fancy a couple of these, where's best to get them from? (other than direct)

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1336651730' post='1648898'] I'm bidding on one at the moment. [/quote] I was watching it out of interest as well, I bet the reserve was the same as the BIN price on it. I probably would have if I was anywhere near to pick up.

Bought a daisy chain from Shep, great transaction, quick and easy with great comms! Cheers mate!
