    Flying with acoustic 3/4 DB

    in EUB and Double Bass

    Posted

    Help please!

    It's looking very likely that I'll need to get me and my db to Switzerland in March for a weekend of shows (plenty of time to work out how the feck to do it) and I'm looking for ideas/options for flight-proofing it...

    It isn't an expensive db, less than £1k so paying over £1k for a flightcase for it feels a bit overkill, especially when I may not need to fly with it again and certainly have nowhere to keep a mahoosive db flightcase!

    Flightcase hire? Any recommendations? Any offers?

    Just general help please :)

    Phat Phuk B replacement??

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by andydye

    So I'm looking for a Phat Phuk B to give that bit of fur around my p-bass tone on certain songs, but, you can't get 'em anymore, I was wanting something before this coming weekend but that's not looking massively likely now, what I'd like to know though...is...is there anything out there now that does a very similar job / produces the same kind of effect, not drive, not fuzz, just a bit of fizz? hairy clarity maybe?

    Shuker PJ Bass (III) fretless

    Been quiet for a wee while on this as Jon has had a busy LGBS and then had some guys in on a course doing builds but here's a bit of progress, body all together and the top carve/shape/bend has been done. Neck is well underway, fingerboard is on, side markers fret ticks are in...

    Lovely :gas:

    That bass is just stunning.

    I have been hankering for an exact spec bass for a long while now and having seen how amazing this looks has made me want one even more.

    Shuker website, here I come.

    Wow, that is quick! Shuker sure know a good P bass! In these times of Fender prices being sky high, a hand made beauty lie this is appealing.
    Enjoy them!

    absolutely my friend! they sing like no Fender I've ever had, resonant and true, none of the Fender foibles and all of the class :)

    I'm screaming at your lovely new bass being placed on a rough gravel road..please tell me there was something inbetween the Bass and the road to protect it?
    [/quote]

    Haha there is nothing to fear, neither Jon nor I would be so insane as to simply plonk it down on bare concrete ;)

    That looks seriously good. That neck grain is amazing. If you're recording with it, it'd be great to hear some from it.
    Thanks for posting

    Thanks mate, it's a lovely piece of Rosewood, Jon has a fantastic hoard and an excellent mental catalogue of what he's got.

    Here's a full length pic from less of an angle for you :)

    They are both stunning! :wub:

    Prefer a maple board myself but how is the rosewood one shaping up? Any discernable difference?
    [/quote]

    They both feel amazing to play, am really looking forward to plugging them both in at our next practise so I can give it a proper trial, thus far it feels a teensy bit heavier and the strings (D'Addaire Chromes) are brand new so need to settle in as they're very bright compared to the well bedded in LaBella flats on Nr1

    Mark may appear to be a newbie but he's been around on here for a while (just quietly), he has done a couple of deals before but nobody left him feedback (the bu*gers!) so here it is, his feedback thread...TADA!!!


    Mark bought my fretless ray recently in a carefully considered deal, he paid what he promised when he promised and was exactly what you want from a buyer. Excellent chap, deal with confidence!

    This is stunning. If you don't mind me asking, what was the total build time as an estimate?
    [/quote]

    Thanks matey, beauty ain't she :D

    As I recall, I pushed the button in December and received the completed bass in early April? Just had another built very similar and that one started November and I collected yesterday :)
