Bought Martin's Xenyx mixer... it has duly arrived the next day as promised and the money hasn't even gone into his account yet! He has got us out of a gig/mixer problem for tomorrow and I need to recommend him as highly as is possible. Thanks Martin (hope the dosh makes it there!) cheers Shaun

[quote name='chris_b' post='470483' date='Apr 23 2009, 11:06 AM']Hi Shaun, how much use does the DD get if you have the 4-94 as well? What's the difference that makes you want both?[/quote] I've just bought the DD as I wanted something that more emulated a P-bass as I've had the Valenti for a while, but didn't like the neck - I keep it dialled for the older stuff we do - more thud - it's does the job very well. The 4-94 is still a joy to play and has so much more range - I gig with 'em both... the perfect pair (well, until something else comes along) ;-)

Guess I have to add my 2... a 4-94 courtesy of Marcus and a new (yes I bought new!!!) Skyline DD... now I want a US version! ...must get a better camera - do those necks looks curved or what? (although I've had a 44-02D, BG and a 55-01D)

bottom of the list then... ;-)

I'll have a read... PM'd :-)

*teehee* early 40s! Will you please tell her that I love her? Hope you like the Valenti! ...and help me find a Lakland?

Sold the Valenti to Si. Incredibly nice chap - just wished we could have met face to face. Great comms throughout and payment instantaneous. Highly recommended! ShaunB

+1 on the Lakland service... both Mr Lakin and Kirk are simply outstanding. I was passing through Chicago last year and so, so wanted to visit... but with only an hour at O'Hare and having mislaid my bottomless wallet...

...at least it's the 43in. - that's got to be good. Hasn't it? I mean... 43in!!!

ya know I thought it was a Glaub when I first cast my eyes on it... but they assured me it was a limited edition - I have questioned them on this.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='416207' date='Feb 21 2009, 03:49 PM']I'd personally look at the Lakland. They're top top quality. The only thing to bear in mind though is that the neck on the Duck Dunn is a Jazz bass profile, not a P neck.[/quote] ...not the one at Absolute... 1 3/4" nut and plays like a dream... want, want, want.

My local music store - I played it for 5 minutes before they did a complete service on it and it's ....mmmm mmmm! (they won't take my Valenti in trade though :-( - say they don't know owt about Nino...)

Iain is a top bloke. Best comms throughout a deal - even held his end of the deal when bloody Parcel Farce charged more than the quote - be warned though! The entire package will take more than a day to open - he has quite possibly the best packaging technique ever! I have called the local tip to take the packaging away! I would recommend him highly. (especially if you want a good laff throughout the transaction) cheers Shaun
