ZenBasses

Thank you.

I kinda sorted the levels so when played back through my floors stands the bass sits in the mix as well as I can get it with a phone and a eq app.

Needs more treb and mid

Thought with my first video I'd keep it simple..

Lost my mojo for a while just rekindling atm

I hope this works.

Thought I'd just do a random video playing along to KT Tunstall.

Using my GB and my newly acquired Marshall MB30 amp.

Was pretty nervous about posting here...

Please forgive any mistakes...

Ben

To my horror I picked up my GB which has a stacked mid / bass. And the 'mid' knob fell off...

Put it back on got out my Allen key.. The grub screws gone.!!!

Checked the floor but I frickin hoovered last night.

Anyone know where I can get replacements

Or does someone have some lying that I can fling a few quid plus postage to via PayPal.?

Help

My knob (for a potentiometer) has fallen off....

Although I'm not a fan of the looks or the chunky neck.. I do think they sit fantastically well in the mix

Saw a band a month or so ago. Bassist using a black grabber.. Sound rich and defined...

Has a lot of bang for your buck to commend it.

Not really, I do like the duck egg blue gb spitfires but nah.

And that is all the bass anyone could ever want. But if your a fan or 2band eqs the GBs power is totally the opposite end of the spectrum.

I own a GB IV pre spitfire.. And it's a Jack of all trades but also a master at the same time.

That was going to be my input...

I reckon just 2 bars of this is enough.. If not 1 to guess the track

Upon looking on Amazon at leads I came across this fetching number...

Modern Materials Huh...??...

Though I do believe they have got the colour incorrect in this ad

That could be misLEADing


hehe

On the topic of exposed stringers.

If a neck through was constructed of flamed maple and a lovely padauk or something similar then I see no reason why this shouldn't be on show.

And yes Jon can make a bass however you want. In this instance like already mentioned this is someone else 'want' list.. Realised.

I still like it though..

Dare I say once it's fully finished and the hardware is on it'll look a lot better than it already does

.. We will come back and judge again.

A Shuker shootout??

I'm sure mine will be beaten but I still love it to bits

Less so than the one I stupidly sold

Idiot!

Still trying to track it down to no avail

Indeed

I was thinking along the lines of;

something you'd buy for the Ash body and some hardware bits to build a budget jazz with basschat bargains

Hehe

Never heard of them..

On the surface looks pretty decent but what do I know

Anyone any info?

Well I wasn't expecting that kind of reaction.

I get every point that has been made.

I am glad we live in a world of variety...

Happy to say I like it...

Spied this on Jons stock section

I am quite taken a back..

A stunning and elegant piece of craftsmanship

Hope we get to see the finished article.

I tried and I failed.. Karl you are also a gent and I hope it moves for you soon.

The fretboard is a stunning piece of wood

A very smart looking bass I'd say

Lol... That made me chuckle and after a 5am start at work and 11 hours shift I needed that

Don't know if your interested in a trade.

PM me for details if you like

I am so tempted to make a trade offer but my other half might have something to say about it.

Fits your trade bill perfectly...

Hmmmmmmmmm

I can't tell the difference..for me through body make changing strings quicker as you don't have to worry about the ball end coming out the saddle.

But apart from that.. I think it looks cooler somehow??

My first bass was a Ibanez Sound gear. That was eons ago. Gave it to a friend 10 years ago.

Still going strong

So my money is on the Ibanez..

Still can't believe this is still for sale.

My original series 2 Shuker was one of the first built using the series 2 shape . very comfortable and a complete tone monster.

When having mine built a similar type of buckeye was offered. Looked absolutely stunning...

Somebody will be getting an amazing piece of Jons work.

Sunday bump

Rock solid build quality here as well..

The anti scuff anti scratch coating on the cabs is still standing up to odd attack from my kitties now and again.

My fafner amp had a few crackly pots after not being used for about 6 months... A quick spray with some contact cleaner on the pots sorted that out.

But even with top notch build quality and qc there can always be a bad one.

EBS guys are very helpful so maybe fling an email there way if you haven't already done so.

Damn shame.

Looks like I'll have to work especially hard and order one direct from Audere...

Hehe....

Thanks anyway

Actually this is different to the ones you just recently bought.. As it's a J configuration.

In wonder how hard it would be to take everything off then plate for a retrofit.

But in guess the shafts wouldn't go through wood.

Hmmm

Pondering has commenced

Wasn't for you then sabian?

I'll be pming you when I get home from work
