It's all good

I played there in 2007. I never want to go again. I was so dismayed I wrote a blog about it Mudstonbury So, Glastonbury. A friend said "I'd rather go to the dentist". How we laughed. He was right. Played a couple of gigs there with Gruff on Saturday and Sunday night. The gigs went very well indeed. No complaints about those. Sound was good, crew were good. It ends there. The conditions were just appalling. 180,000 people in 900 acres of 6" mud. Constant rain. It took us 2 hours of plodding/slipping/(just about) not falling to get off site and a taxi to the hotel (Camping? What do you think?) after the Saturday night gig. OK we did plunge through the thick bit of the crowd in front of the main stage, which on reflection we should not have done (sorry Nath) but really it was just a miserable experience. Someone else suggested that beer goggles would have made it better. I think a helicopter or Landrover with a blue light on top would have been the only thing that would have made it better. We played to about 2500 on Sunday night at midnight. We were under cover but it was tipping it down and still they came. Madness. The food? Had a really nice steak in a pub in Wells for Sunday lunch, slightly rare, but with a double helping of pepper sauce so that was OK. Had a Danish pastry thing in Starbucks that was nice but would have been nicer without cinnamon. Had a Burger King on the way down. I am ashamed and feel dirty, but we had to eat. I was actually secretly looking forward to it as we queued, but it was deeply underwhelming. Nice tinned grapefruit for breakfast at the hotel. I always enjoy scooping all the juice from the bowl into a glass (when no one is looking obviously) and then drinking it. Famous people? We spent some time with Corrine Bailey-Rae...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in a traffic jam waiting to get on site. Difficult to know what to say to famous people that would not be really tedious for them and ultimately not deep and meaningful for you. So I said nothing. On reflection I should have said "I really like the rhythm section work on your album". Maybe next time huh? If it had been sunny it would have been just fabulous. It wasn't and it wasn't. The playing was good. Mustn't grumble.

My email address is in my signature. Just as a personal curiosity, what is the source(s) of the 50 piezo?[/quote] It is not personal curiosity. We all want to know!

And so it continues. Pete has carved a neck from pine to get the measurements right. He will do mine asymetrically, cos I like them like that. He has spent a long time working out the machine heads and eventually came to the conclusion that he would fabricate his own. The headstock will have a cocobolo veneer. There will be a cutaway on the lower bout, and the fingerboard is oversized at the moment.

Yes. I could go on and on, but the answer would still be the same.

Someone on TB owns that. I know way too much about this stuff!

[quote name='Mugz.wood' post='1189744' date='Apr 5 2011, 09:37 PM']ok do u think a smaller program would reduce the latency because logic is a pretty big program, reason maybe?, i would be using a 2ghz mac book 2 gbs ram with an m- audio firewire solo external sound card do u think that would be able to cope? if not i could still use the laptop setup for a after rumble effect maybe? thanks[/quote] That should work fine. Try using Mainstage (part of the Logic suite so you already own it) instead of Logic as it is a bit easier to deal with live.

It looks great apart from the knobs. Why bother doing lovely things with wood and then put 20p knobs on it?

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1197122' date='Apr 12 2011, 06:17 PM']For those who have been fortunate enough to order a Sei Bass, the process of material selection is addictive, huh?[/quote] It's not addictive, it is lethal. I had decided what I needed before I went in, and then splurged and took it all. It was lush though.

No bug eye chrome? No good.

I just got this and there seems to very little out there regarding info when I was trying to research it, so I thought I would post my initial thoughts. All Shuker stuff is fully custom so there is not really much point in discussing the finer details of my own bass, but I thought some of the more generic Uberhorn features were worth noting. The body shape is very comfortable indeed. It is like a jazz that has been genetically modified to be slimmer and more graceful. The whole thing balances fantastically well seated and standing. The main issue I would like to highlight is the standard Uberhorn scale length - it is 33". Mine is a 5 string (bought second hand on here). I have been playing 5 strings for almost 21 years. I bought the first on my honeymoon - it was a 3 hour detour. How my wife of 7 days laughed! I have always found anything less than 35" scale to be disappointing in the B dept. Just for reference I must have gone through a good 20 basses in that period so at least have hands on experience. The sub 35" B always let me down because it never sounded as if it was the same instrument. Once I fell off the E onto the B things would get just that bit muddier. My present Uberhorn came up here just after I had sold a bass so I had money sitting waiting for the right moment - lethal. I had also just the day before that commissioned an Uberhorn body to go on a neck I have and I could not stop myself from trying out the real deal. Does the 33" B speak with the same sound as my 35" basses? No. However it does speak with the same voice as the rest of the bass. It has a sonic integrity from the top all the way to the bottom, it is all obviously the same instrument speaking whatever register is being used. Is this due to the 5 piece laminated neck (bolt on)? I don't know, but I can say that I will be happy to use it and not flinch every time I go below low E. Is a 35" B better than a 33" B? Before trying this I would have said yes. Now I would say that it is just a different flavour. The smaller scale makes it really easy to play sitting down. Everything feels very close I am really enjoying it.

[quote name='tonyf' post='1184900' date='Apr 1 2011, 03:39 PM']I'm in a similiar position where I need to downsize my EBS rig over the next couple of months. I'm looking at the Barefaced cabs and the Streamliner/TC Classic 450 or Bass Terror but really need to hear the Super Twelve T in action before I'd be happy pulling the trigger. As I've not been able to get to any bass bashes recently, it'd be brilliant if someone had a Barefaced of some sort (if not a Super Twelve, perhaps a Compact or Big One) in the West Midlands for me to try out in exchange for alcohol/coffee/cream cakes etc T[/quote] Alex does do a sale or return thing with his cabs so that could be pretty painless. If it works for you - cool. If it does not work for you - cool

Like busses they are.

But this one is cheaper still! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300542670000"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=300542670000[/url]
