When ever I've played my grabber live I've always had to take a backup because it's so prone to temperature related intonation and tuning issues, normally only lasting 3 or 4 songs. Recently I've been playing my SB a lot live and in rehearsal but the tiny side markers and worn frets make it a bit of a nightmare to play anywhere the stage lighting isn't good. I've recently aquired a bongo which I'm hoping will be my main stay and do away with the need for a backup at most shows once I've played it live comfortably without needing the backup aria or other passive a few times.
Where is Rosa these days? I had the pleasure of taking her for a test drive when I picked my ole P up from Si. What a thing of beauty she is. I hope wherever she is she is being respected and a fitting tribute to Si.
Looks like this is traded for a Bongo HH.
I hear what you're saying guys but having played a bongo and come to terms with the looks I think it will be the best option for me. Its a shame to be giving the shuker up because the playability and tone are beautiful. But I've come to the conclusion I need EBMM in my life.
Thanks guys, she really is a beauty, the pics don't do her any justice at all, the facing is gorgeous and the sounds you can get from it are great! Just can't get enough aggression out of it.
I know it's not really a jazz but any interest in my Shuker?
