For me: 1. Duff McKagan (Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver) 2. Tom Hamilton (Aerosmith) 3. John-Paul Jones (Led Zep)

Bloody mad looking thing that! Indeed, a YouTube clip of it would be interesting to hear please.

Loving that finish - Is it Honey Burst?

That looks cool but as Jack said 28kg? No thanks!

Hang in there MM20, I'm sure it'll work out in the end.

A lot of people won't under value or declare as a gift. Must be pretty severe consequences as hardly anyone will do it.

I believe it's £18 for a Commercial item and £40 for a Gift. No joke. See HMRC's page: [url="http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageImport_ShowContent&propertyType=document&id=HMCE_CL_000014#P22_2021"]HERE[/url]

[quote name='Stingray5' post='1013184' date='Nov 5 2010, 12:32 PM']Thanks a lot, guys! The Shuker's, along with the Kubicki's have re-ignited my GAS problem... (stand well clear and no naked flames, please! ). Add to that my existing GAS for a GB bass and I don't think I'll be going anywhere this bonfire night! [/quote] PM if interested in my Shuker...

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1013016' date='Nov 5 2010, 09:51 AM']Ah....thats perfect for my needs. Next year...I might look into this.[/quote] PM me in the New Year as I may be persuaded to sell it then!

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1012990' date='Nov 5 2010, 09:23 AM']... Thats a nice design, and lovely neck![/quote] It's a P width nut too!

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='1012746' date='Nov 4 2010, 11:35 PM']looking good [/quote] +1

Here's my Shuker Classic Jazz for you:

I was a young Guitard perusing the Loot newspaper for a gig. There was 4 tiny Guitarist Wanted ad's and about 2 whole columns of Bass Player Wanted ad's. I thought it was a better move to change to bass and get gigging that way. That was 13 years ago!

[quote name='Conan' post='1011637' date='Nov 4 2010, 08:14 AM']Why? If you like the sound "and presumably the lightness) of your set-up, why change it? [/quote] Just interested in what's best really. Probably won't change my amp setup but certainly food for thought

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='1011435' date='Nov 3 2010, 10:16 PM']... But if it was me I'd run a pair of 2x10s, the drivers vertically arrayed.[/quote] I'd seriously listen to this advice. Bill knows his stuff and it makes me wonder about my setup now...

[quote name='tony_m' post='1011405' date='Nov 3 2010, 09:49 PM']Gotta be "Róisín Dubh" surely? [/quote] Now that I like and very fitting!

Hello Paul, Nice to meet you. Get stuck in and enjoy the forum, it's a great place! Costs you a bl00dy fortune though Cheers, Jon

Depending on what type of music you play a pair of modern, sensitive and well tuned 15" cabs may be the ticket. I do that and can honestly say the volume and power is breath taking from my setup. The setup is MarkBass SA450>Barefaced Compact x2. Good luck on your quest! Jon

I didn't order the bass myself, the shop did for their stock so I got to make a good saving as a result! Here's some of their pics:

[quote name='bobpalt' post='1010181' date='Nov 2 2010, 11:16 PM']...Why is it that I always have turn the volume up on the telly to nearly full blast for this programme? Then when I forget to instantly turn it down at the end I am deafened by the next thing to come on. What technical reason can they have for broadcasting such a ridiculously low sound level?[/quote] IMO it's that this show is put out with some dynamic range whereas most other shows are not. That's the same reason adverts seem louder during films.
