Go for it!!
Go see mr S, I,m sure glad I did!!!.

They are strung F# B E A D G so it,s quite easy to adjust from the five string basses I,ve been using til now.
They have a wonderful Growl on the lower strings.

I,m still stunned at being an endorsee,, I love the basses, jons a star and I,m walking round with a silly grin all the time!!.
I don,t want to give away the cost in case the taxman is watching tho suffice to say I did get a discount for buying in bulk!!

Gordon Smith produced a few basses under the 'Gordy' brandname.

Hey smash, I,m in spalding in lincs which is not a million miles away from norwich and you,re welcome to come and try out my 4003 of you wish.

I can!
Jon Shuker..

I,m absolutly chuffed to bits to say that the twins are finished!!, and that today I woke up an endorsee of shuker basses.

My new toy.
I,ll add some more pics tomorrow.

Geddy Lee from Rush used to use a ric and he,s a big fingerstyle player.

That bass looks superb.

I have a mate with an amg merc sporting B11 SHT.
:-)

That just about sums it up!
Keep playing, keep looking and something will come up

My band is Lime Shark, www.limeshark.com
We play original music and try to do it like bands used to.

Ah! Guitarland!!
Great shop, nice bloke nigel .
He,s still doing well with his own band.

What a result!
More power to ya bro!!
Make sure you,ve always got a sharpie in your pocket for signing autographs.
Live it
love it.

This is a great bass to play now that I,ve spent quite a bit of time levelling the frets and it now has a set of Newtone strings fitted.
It also has a strap pin extension fitted to the top horn to sort out the neck dive.

There,s your answer matey!!

Have a great tour.

I can,t really suggest anything other than getting a rack case for it but keep away from moulded plastic cases such as SKB with handles in the sides as they can block the air passage to the fan air inlet.
You really have an expensive and quality piece of kit there and the right case will keep it delivering the goods without hitch.
I run a pair of svt2pros in the same case and they,ve been gunned insome of the hottest , sweatiest clubs I know and good ventilation keeps them happy.

Any news on the fx25? the cheque should have cleared by now.

Further to a couple of comments earlier, I think the mcartney bass associated with rickenbacker was the c64 4001 that is all mapleglo finish and construction similar to the Chris Squire model without edge bindings and there was a six stringed guitar made back in the ninties with a body shaped like a cadillac coupe deville rear wing but I don,t know wether a bass model was ever produced, the guitar had a tremolo fitted that also operated the brake light on the tip of the wing as I recall.

I say build the beast and they will come...... along with most of the women in the room if you hit the right note!!

I have one of those too. tho this is more like a noise gate that doesn,t actually remove noise, it simply is like a volume control that has a threshold level that you adjust so that when you are not playing the volume turns down so giving the illusion that your signal is quiet.
I use one of these on the output of my big muff pedal so the that the damn thing appears a little less noisy when the muff signal loop is in, as all my pedals are on loops with true bypass when not in use, but still use the palmer at end before the amp as the boss pedal will not remove any signal noise while you are playing like the palmer does.

I use a big pedal chain and swear by the palmer line isolator PLI 01.
Just put it as the last thing into your amp input, I use a two foot long cable and have it velcro,d to the side of the amp so it,s as close to the input as possible.
It cleans up all sorts of interference and earthing hum, everyone in my band swears by them.
You can get them from thomann online.

I,d go for the GK, I have an RB700 II combo It does the job when my ampegs are too big for the venue.
