I would certainly say no problem, but I'm afraid this time, i'm back to update the ad as Sold. Sorry! -
Yup, I have to admit, Stag and Kev do bring stunningly good biscuits over! The lovely bassy goodness is 'pending sale' now.
-
Yeah, he replied to one of my messages offering me a Hartke 2155 that I am looking for! Little bugger!!!

Ahhh Cheers Jackers! They certainly are great little cabs - I think those who are more used to paper cones like these better as they have the same warmth but I think the ally give just the right amount of bite. I'm afraid my Shuker really is one bass I will never part with! Infact, so much so, I wanna get another one!! ha ha!

Hi! The whole rig? MASSIVE! Tons of low end on tap! The LH1000 is a monster if it is unleashed - mostly it stays on about 2 or at a push three on the volume control! The cabinet in question? Punchy, tight, clean, very loud if need be with the added warmth from the paper and aluminium mix. There is a really nice attack even with the tweeter turned off and the 10" cones react really well to pedal distortion too.The tweeter has three settings, ON, -6dB and OFF, allowing tailoring of the top end with ref to application. Nice and lightweight, dead easy to carry and has removable wheels. It's 1000W RMS and has sets of Speakons and !/4" Jack Sockets on the rear for link up and daisy chaining.

[quote name='jaybyname' timestamp='1317120744' post='1386888'] Many thanks for the advice, heres the link which tempted me. As I already play 6 string and was interested in going 7, I found this dodgy supplier on ebay who although his communication, pictures and delivery time were atrocious, the bass arrived yesterday and its a stunner, really really good. Passive electronics, but damn fine build and weight. I think I ripped him off. These are underated basses for the cash. If you want a cheapy, just buy these until your ready to play with the big boys!!! Can't really see the saddles clearly but as there individual, they look slighty off towards the f saddle. [url="http://www.maxetone.com/JGallery/index.php?view=category&catid=168&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=2"][font=Calibri][color=#0000ff]http://www.maxetone.com/JGallery/index.php?view=category&catid=168&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=2[/color][/font][/url] [/quote] Ahhh yes, I saw those on eBay myself. Not a massive amount of details about them so hard to make an educated response, but certainly I'd look at a heavier F# string based on the assumption the instrument is a 34" or 35" scale. As for the F string, if it sounds ok and you can live with it being wonky then go for it - however, if the saddle is too far out it could well fatigue the string if the edges are a bit rough which will help to break it should you dig in a bit hard. - Pop it into any reputable luthier / repair shop and they should be able to sort it with minimal fuss.

No problem Batfastard, happy to help! - Oh, I encourage you to take a visit up to see him and check out the wood store! You'll change your mind about 100 times when he starts pulling out some amazing and rare facing woods! I'm a sucker for a nice slice of Buckeye Burl!

Hi - I'm a seven string player. Can you post a picture of the saddle? It certainly doesn't sound right! What is the make and model of the Bass you have received? I'll be able to advise further re gauges of strings. Hopefully the wonky saddle isn't impeding the movement of the string and will be fine, though it sounds like bad manufacture if it isn't straight. If you want to tune down to F# then don't use a B string (130 gauge) - it'll be floppy and very quiet in comparison to the other strings, especially if you have a 34" scale bass. The lowest gauge I have managed on an F# was a custom made 145 string by Newtone - the string was specially manufactured to keep the tension high on a low tuning. - My current strings are Rotosounds and they make a .175 gauge string which to be honest is a great place to start. 165 would be your minimum at least on a 35" scale. Warwick manufacture the 'Dark Lord' set which also includes a .175 and other US brands such as Conklin and SIT do heavy gauge strings too. Rotosound however is easily available in the UK as you probably already know! Doooooooooooooooood

A mere 32kilos of bassy goodness! (Easy lift even for a crippled back person like me) AND has wheels on!

I have to say that I have been pretty happy with all my Bass sales so far, except for a natural Fender P that I sold to a guy in Bury St Edmunds when I was about.. err 17 or so. Would love to know what happened to that! - but I regret selling a lot of my amps and cabs. I wish I still had a lot of them, so: 2 x Tech Soundsystems ND410s cabs 1 x Powersoft 2004 poweramp 1 x Ampeg SVT2 Pro my original SVP-BSP - if i'd kept it, I wouldn't have had to have bought a second one! 1 x Trace Elliot V-Type preamp Those particularly stand out as some real favourites!
-
WOW!!!! Nice! -
Oh, shipping is a possibility, depending on being able to source suitable packing and boxes, but collection would be advisable. I'd also be prepared to 'meet halfway' within a certain distance for petrol, coffee and a bit of cake )

I'm in Norwich sir!

Tidying this thread.... I'm removing a user's negative posts.

Hi! I'm in Norwich and have two custom Shukers. I am also a Shuker endorser.I'd be more than happy to talk..well.. for hours about going custom and especially my experience with Jon and his craft. I also wrote a 4 page article for Bass Guitar Magazine in June about my two basses, if back issues are available. Ping me a PM if ya like! - Jon has said that he's happy for me to give you pointers and advice and of course you'd be more than welcome to try my two out.
-
Cheers Jackers! Yes, it sounds like an odd thing to say when I am selling - but they are absolutely brilliant! - but I have two 4x10's already and I quite fancy a smaller set up too now that I am playing a wider range of gigs and music styles that warrant it. Price is £300 firm.

From the Hartke website: [url="http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/cabinets/hydrive-cabinets/hx410/"]http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/cabinets/hydrive-cabinets/hx410/[/url] [quote] [b]About HyDrive[/b] HyDrive transducers represent a revolutionary improvement in bass speaker technology and a major leap forward, fusing paper and aluminum in a roadworthy speaker design that is more robust and efficient than anything available. With Hartke's HyDrive series, you get the best of both worlds: the warm tone of traditional paper cones and the clear, punchy attack of aluminum. HyDrive's patented Hybrid Cone Technology produces a speaker that uses an outside paper cone to push a warm, deep low frequency and an inner aluminum cone that produces mids and highs that cut, yet still remain sweet. One of the most important advances with the HyDrive speaker is its power-to-weight ratio. A HyDrive speaker weighs 40% less than traditional speakers and delivers 250 watts for the highest power-to-weight ratio of any bass speaker available. But the innovation runs even deeper. Because of its cast aluminum frame and neodymium magnets, HyDrive speakers operate cooler and deliver more reliable power handling at peak performance.

Is 'Armoured Feather' the name of the manufacturer? I'm possibly looking for a similar kind of case and am not sure at the moment who makes them.
-
Good work Sibob! Will grab a copy and take a look!

Andy, great to meet you this week! Thank you for 'meeting halfway' - really in the back-end of nowhere! But it was a pleasure talking Bass - and lets face it, playing a flash bass in the middle of a fast food restaurant is about as fun as it gets! Thank you, the Spector is working out pretty well! Catch you soon mate, please doing business with ya!
