  1. Devastated by the passing of a musical leviathan. Easily in the top 10 of most guitarists, even if they’re not even a fan of rock music, and probably holds the top spot for many. Despite what seemed like a symbiotic relationship with his guitar he hardly ever tried to overshadow a great song with an over egged solo. Indeed, his solos always left you wanting more, unless you were fortunate enough to see him live and unleashed. So pleased he lived through his genius & realised his greatness was that of a true legend. RIP Eddie Van Halen..

  3. No, it’s still on hold. Went in to KGB Musical Instruments (Merseyside based guitar luthier) last week for a service. Mainly on the crackly electrics. Due to be picked up around 23rd Jan.
  4. http://shukerguitars.co.uk/price-guide/ Ive been asked the cost of a new bass guitar of the type I’m selling! Just thought I’d put the above link to the Shuker website price guide. It gives prices for through neck and bolt neck designs. Take into account the one I’m selling is a 5-string through neck design with Bartolini’s. Prices start at £2750.00 - I’d suggest that the one I’m selling would be over £3000.00 NEW
  5. Unfortunately I have no idea. I do know Jon Shuker has his own preamp - I assume it’s his own, but I don’t know. Sorry! The pickups are Bartolini..
  6. I’ve been asked about the body size, insofar as how big it looks. I think it’s pretty compact in size for a 34’ 5 string, but I thought I’d post some pics of it next to my sons V7 Jazz. It’s also quite a slim body thickness. The electronics consist of a push / pull volume control; pick up sweep between bridge & neck with central lock; 3 tone controls Bass / Mid / Treble (boost / cut on each) with central position lock. A couple of pots are slightly stiff to turn but don’t effect the sound and they’re not loose. Everything on this bass is rock solid. But I do reiterate: The electronics could do with a small service, reflected in the asking price!
  7. Behind every great bass player there’s a half decent drummer. Geddy Lee was a lucky guy! Sometimes the planets align a certain way and greatness comes together. What a band, and what a brilliant musician. Sad loss.. 😔
