So that shuker I bought recently isn't right for me, the neck and the string spacing is too big for my hands, and the number of strings is just confusing to me, but one thing I realised is how the quality of the build was. So with quite a bit of talking to Jon, selling my stick and a few other things, and a longing that has been with me since the LBGS in 17, I present something that pretty well everyone who went to the LBGS in 2017 will probably remember. Shuker Uberhorn, 33" neck, 17mm spacing, delano pickups and john east pre. Weighs about nothing!

Well, it is never going to be as good as the MODX, it is not as good as my roland DS, but when I am doing a gig it is the right size and it is good at practices. With the space the big synths are going to win. I still wish there was an 'all of the above', like a reface that had all the other refaces, but was the same size

Love that colour, would be happy with that, and put up with the inlays, as I could just get another scratchplate. Although I have now come to realise that any 4 or 6 string bass I buy will sit around looking pretty until I finally give up and sell it. I need to learn a lesson from that! He certainly played one with those inlays: https://reverb.com/uk/item/17117360-gibson-nikki-sixx-owned-played-signed-thunderbird-bass-with-coa-case-motley-crue?locale=en-GB presumably he just gets them at $1k, plays them at one gig, ships them out for $4k as a nice little earner? Thats not so bad at all. Again, not bothered about the inlays, but like the black and red headstock.

I also wouldn't have called it the danciest thing ever. I only remember the travelogue version - I saw them in 1980, I don't recal it being done much different but I don't remember it well anyway

I saw a program on music, analying the beats, timing and lyrics of music that demonstrated that worldwide, disco was one of the most significant changes of music in the last 50 years, and punk didn't make much of an impact at all, and the difference it made was only temporary in the uk.

Never quite understood the point of an external preamp. The point of an internal preamp is to buffer your signal so you don't get signal losses in your lead. Once you have done that you might as well put tone controls on there but that isn't so much important. What is the point of an external preamp? What is it providing that the preamp in your amplifier is not doing for you? I suppose if you are going straight to the PA there is one, but otherwise? You have already lost your treble in the lead, and got whatever noise is going, so you don't gain anything else.

Has "Every lyric written by Ronnie James Dio" been mentioned yet? Not so much factually incorrect, more totally inconherant. with such gems as "Ride the tiger, You can see his stripes but you know he's clean, Oh don't you see what I mean? " - no Ronnie, we don't. " Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light " " It's like broken glass You get cut before you see it " " You've got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl " " Don't hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul "

Its just down to getting comfortable with doing the octaves. I don't really have a problem with those. Hadn't heard the song though. Chorus sounds a bit stones'y

Yeh, ours cost £25 from aliexpress

Yep, would be lost without the iPad. Just switched to songbook pro from SetList maker. Much prefer it the way I work.

Oh yes, hi! I never gigged it but I did take it to a few practices. I did always mean to gig it but never could pluck up the courage! It had been gigged by its previous owner. One day I do intend to gig the Chapman stick though

Sure do. The worst thing about the smoking ban was how many other horrible smells it was hiding!

Give us a minute...

Now, some of these are wrong; Well, this isn't entirely untrue, if you look at it like black spots on the sun. They are cold spots, and by cold, it means unbelievably hot, but not quite as hot as the stuff around it. The surface of a fire has more oxygen, so the centre probably is cold in comparison. Just don't put your hand on it. Or she saw the partial silhoette of a gun round corner. Or she googled 'silhoette of a gun', in which case that would have been true. Oh that is one of my wife main beefs with people. 4 AM in the morning, 25kg in weight, the colour yellow etc. It doesn't say that the thugs had been travelling by tube, they may have just gone there to look at the poster, and got him while they were there. If you see enough of the sweeny it would be apparent that they would have had a bedford van around the corner. Probably in green. And I have been at a tube station at midnight which was still functional, in case of any doubts on that part. Maybe they had just been to hamersmith odeon to see Boney M and were on their way back? Almost certainly the tube would be open then.

Nah, that is just the reflection of the skirting board Not sure what the stain thing is. I haven't kept up. Looks fine straight on, which is the only way I tend to use mine. That is almost the same spec as my main mac, except mine is an i7 with 512g. I have no reason to upgrade it, it does everything really well. Although my battery is getting a bit poor now, will have to replace that soon,.

I think that depends on if you are the provider or recipient of said kick?

Vanessa Williams. Here song 'save the best for last' is one of the few that really annoyed me. " Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon ". First part, no problem, its possible, second part? I think not, stick to beauty pagenting.

Last time I saw him play, which was a couple of years ago, he played a P bass. He also played a semi acoustic bass maybe a guild or something? Seemed a bit pointless, at the volume he was playing it sounded the same. There were no rick like basses for any of the jam stuff.

He must feel really stupid then as he mainly uses a P bass

Well, true, but that wasn't a unique to him fashion statement at the time!

Very similar to that last one. No, I couldn't find one anywhere. I still don't see how it helps with travel, as it is the same size as an ordinary bass. I mean compared to my hohner it is huge!

Yeh, like I said my local music shop. They are clearing out stuff so they can get people in there. It is a very small shop.

Think it probably depends on the bassist!
