    Thank you indeed, I really do appreciate your words greatly! Can I quote you for my ‘testimonials’ on my FB Page? You’ve hit the nail on the head. I love doing these reviews and I feel lucky I suppose that I’m allowed to say it ‘how it is’. This one for example I chose to do a technical review because so many others had focussed on the simple stuff online. As it happens this and the HyperGravity Mini are two of my favourite compressors. My Nova Dynamics being the third! Cheers, Dan

    Thank you for working it out for me and yes, thinking about it, my Shuker are 9mm at the nut, so 8mm would probably be ok unless the player was blessed with "builders hands"!

    I guess the main problem here is that you get in to the limits of a comfortable amount of space between strings, even the big fat ones. A 43mm will give you (wait whilst I work it out) slightly less than 9mm between each string if there were zero room on the outer edges of the nut. Though it wouldn't cost too much at all to test the theory and have a nut made with a more squat spacing - At least that way you could decide if you want to stick with this one or, I suppose the next step would be going custom and specifying each dimension. (Cost implication of course!)

    Yes, I think I did ask Delano as I am more of a Blade fan than pole pieces but also due to the unusual string spacing I went for those too. They are the Bartolini P? size so will drop straight in. The Nordstrands, I'm enjoying the sound of the Big Singles. Carey makes some great pickups but my go to has always been EMG. I'd really love EMG to branch out and do different shell sizes (like the P2 etc) as I think there are lots of bassists who don't wanna carve wood out of their basses but love EMGs. Great news on Nord' having pickup plans, that's cool. I kinda wish that I'd spent more time with mine, but, as it seems to be lately as well, bills seem to take care of my purchases quite quickly. Sole earner and 4 mouths to feed!

    The Delano SBC 5 string Driver pickups drop straight in too. I had a GVB for a while. Loved it! My preamp didn’t have the issues you speak of though, so I wonder if it is faulty? In the end, I dropped in three EMG DC pickups which turned the bass in to an absolute beast. Silly me, I sold it.. duh! I never learn.

    @Bikenbass very kindly got me Guy's book and had it signed for me when I couldn't make it to his show. A really thoughtful gesture and I have it in my (rather small) book collection.

    The bridge has been changed out for a Schaller 3D. I would be very surprised if the hardware had been gold plated. That doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense when premium hardware such as the Schaller keys that drop in are so good and cheaper in comparison.

    UPS for me have been excellent every time. They even stopped me in the street once to tell me they were on their way to deliver a parcel so I could get home in time

    I'm really sorry to hear it. I know that sinking feeling well.
  18. Dood
    It's a gutting feeling, I really feel your pain as I've anguished for way too long. I've tried to keep hold of this gorgeous bass, but similarly, I've been hit with some debts that aren't going away any time soon. I hope that your car bill ends up being smaller and you can hang on to your bass!

    Sale pending for Greyhail and a trip to Northern Ireland for this beauty!

    I randomly had a missed FaceTime call from Michael at 5am. I must drop him a line!

    Letting your bass playing naturally wind down is fine. It has the opportunity to come back and flourish and flow freely. So that’s ok. It’s when you are being forced to stop doing something you love by others is when there is a problem.
