[quote name='BassManKev' post='301610' date='Oct 7 2008, 07:03 PM']my my, that is f*** ugly would still love to try it though [/quote]
You know what they say... Beauty is in the eye of Noddy Holder... or something like that... -
[quote name='beerdragon' post='301768' date='Oct 7 2008, 10:11 PM']I dont get that [/quote]
Are you extracting the urine? -
I'm just in from band practise where I was playing my Lakland JO4. Awesome bass. Never played the DJ4 but I believe it's more of a 70's vibe than the JO.
I like the UV Sads too , but they couldn't twice as good as what I've already got. Saying that I've never played one... scared to! -
Pino hasn't played as much fretless since the early 90's. He's a pure 'P-bass with flatwounds' head now. The man's a legend! If I could steal one player's chops it'd be his...
Funny this appears now, I just took to listening to all the Pino I have on my iPod yesterday! -
[quote name='cheddatom' post='301121' date='Oct 7 2008, 11:07 AM']Ahh - misinterpretation due to my poor technique of having my thumb over the top instead of up the back of the neck.[/quote]
You couldn't do that on my 6 string. Aircraft carrier comes to mind, but I love it! -
[quote name='cheddatom' post='301108' date='Oct 7 2008, 10:48 AM']Surely for a thin neck you need thin/tight string spacing?[/quote]
He means thin front to back (depth not width) -

Have a look about for his instructional video. It's a good laugh - the man's totally mad!
There's some good instructional stuff on youtube too. Have a look for a user called 'marlowedk'. -
[quote name='chris_b' post='297392' date='Oct 2 2008, 11:13 AM']These look good and probably sound good as well, but where are the customers for a £3000 bass in the UK? BG, Overwater, Sei, RIM, ACG, the newly resurrecting Wal and others are already fighting over a very small customer base. The pickup is unique and flexible but didn't we discover in another thread that most of us get a sound we like then rarely change the tone controls? I wish Enfield Guitars good luck and think they'll need it starting up, as they are, on the verge of a recession.[/quote]
Speaking of Wal there is quite a striking resemblance isn't there... -
Great bass. I had it for a short while before Russ. Really enjoyed it, but wanted a 5 string so when his RBV went on the block then this went in trade.

[quote name='walbassist' post='296202' date='Oct 1 2008, 09:23 AM']I'd love this.[/quote]
I would have it already if shipping was an option. I have the 4x12 version and it is the best cab I've ever played through (I'd say this is probably on a level...), just a little too big to go in my car comfortably! -
Cheers for the comments guys. She is an absolute beauty.
It does growl quite a bit - as much as my wenge necked Warwick Corvette does anyway, but I can get the same sound with a lighter touch on the Shuker. Don't have to dig in as much. Can't dig in too much anyway because of the ramp, which is an absolute revelation by the way.
Jons neck finish is fantastic. The neck looks like a Warwick, but feels satin smooth. Very nice. Still trying to find my way around as it's my first sixer! -
[quote name='Merton' post='290584' date='Sep 24 2008, 09:21 AM']What a gorgeous bass. Can I have it? [/quote]
Yes... of course.
If you give me lots of money.... -
[quote name='MacDaddy' post='290404' date='Sep 23 2008, 10:30 PM']I would [/quote]
I have!
Although my recent bout of tennis elbow is sarting to hamper me a little... -
Firstly, apologies that these are terrible mobile phone camera pictures, but since I'm about the worst photographer on the planet that doesn't really make that much difference!
Here she is in all her LED, wenge and maple (birdseye and quilted) glory! Enjoy

Also apologies they're all the wrong way up... -
I'm looking for a Status Series 3000 as a gigging bass at the minute and the 'wanted' sections of here and the Statii forum just don't seem to be getting the job done. How about setting up some sort of club where everyone looking for a certain bass can register their desired bass and if anyone sees one for sale they can post a 'spotted' post?
Stupid idea? -
A few questions Steve. What string spacing will these have at the bridge on the 5 string? Any rough pricing yet?
-
Hi guys,
Haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but will do tonight. Suffice to say that Jon Shuker is a genius. This thing is exactly what I wanted. Sounds awesome and plays even better.
I'm already planning number 2 - one I won't be afraid to take out of the house!
Cheers
Ian -
And all I can say (or have time to say now!) is WOW!
This thing is f***ing incredible! -
According to her-indoors "The eagle has landed".... Of course I'm at work, so am entirely pissed off!
-
If I wasn't already GASing for a Status bass I'd have these in a shot. I have the 4x12 version and it's a total monster!
-
I was so impressed with the lowdown 110 that I immediately thought of buying one for gigging, since all our stuff goes through the PA anyway... then we had a nightmare gig where the mixer gave up and we needed to use the backline to get through the gig. The wee 1x10 couldn't have handled that!
*(thinking) I suppose since we had 15 minutes of fiddling between PA going down and us deciding to use the backline I would have had time to get a proper rig from the van.... this idea has merit! (thinking)* -
Non of this is helping my unexpected-headless-graphite GAS...

I had a similar problem with a set of EMG J pickups. Can't remember exactly where the problem was, but it was a wiring error made by moi...

Can anyone suggest a reasonably cheap keyboard to get started playing synth bass on? Alesis Micron?

Thanks goodness for that... I kept coming back to drool over these...
