[quote name='Lozz196' post='972315' date='Sep 30 2010, 07:59 AM']All in all, a bassist that is playing for the band, not himself.[/quote] Single most sensible thing I've ever read..........ever.........................................................................In the world..! Here is the least sensible thing I have ever written as it is only my opinion: - Very few people can sustain playing quaver root notes in time, with expression, over a whole song. It takes discipline, listening, and a desire to enhance the "whole" sound, and to only be missed when you stop playing. Therefore I guess a bad player lacks discipline, listening skills and a desire to be part of the "whole"........"please notice me, not the song" kind of thing....but who are we to judge? I only have 1 U2 album, (Joshua Tree) and I still use it as a good example of simplicity, less is more, with students.

[quote name='Beedster' post='970969' date='Sep 28 2010, 06:16 PM']Can I have the PUP John? Chris[/quote] Sure Chris. No idea of it's make, but it sounds fine. You know what to do, I'll chuck it in post in t'mornin. John [quote name='Beedster' post='970971' date='Sep 28 2010, 06:17 PM']And damn, I wish I'd seen that preamp![/quote] Yeah I wasn't sure if I was going sell it, but I've bought a Shuker and I'm skint!

Pick up & Strings still available.

Tom sold me a lovely Schaller DB pup, before I'd even paid, to try out. Fantastic guy to do business with, many thanks Tom, John

K&K Dual Channel Preamp. [s][b]£70 posted[/b][/s] SOLD[s][/s] Used, but in very good condition. Works brilliantly with 2 pup combo on a DB. Here's the spec. The Dual Channel Pro Preamp is a two-channel, mixer that allows you to blend two pickups. It is compatible with both piezo and magnetic pickups. The Dual Channel Pro Preamp features extremely low noise operation. It can process high input peaks without distortion and offers an incredible dynamic range. Aside from its strong bass, midrange and treble filters (for each channel), it offers internal gain adjustments which set the pre amplification factor from 1 to 10 (per channel). This allows you to boost the input signal up to the 10-fold amount. It features two volume controls knobs, two 1/4" inputs, and a line level 1/4" output on the outside of the box. Inside the box, there are adjustable controls for gain, bass, midrange and treble for each channel. The tone controls offer an incredible +/- 20 dB. This is a wider range than some big boards on the market today! To keep the box as small as possible these controls are trim pots (small potentiometers for adjustment with a precision screw driver which is supplied). Once you installed the two systems you have chosen for your instrument, you can adjust them with the trim pots to your personal taste and needs. During performance, the two volume knobs on the outside allow for fast balancing on the fly. Technical Information: Frequency range 10 - 30,000 Hz Input Impedance: 1 Mega Ohm Output Impedance: 3 K Ohm Average Current: 3.5 mA Battery hours: about 60 Dimensions: 110 x 85 x 38 mm / 4+3/8" x 3+3/8 x 1+ 1/2 " Input and Output Jacks: 1/4" instrument jacks Bass, mid, treble EQ, gain and volume controls per channel Double bass bridge pickup. [s][b]£20 posted[/b][/s] [b]SOLD[/b] No idea what make it is, it came with a ply bass bought for my son. Works fine. Double bass strings [s][b]£20 posted[/b][/s] [b]SOLD[/b] Again, no idea what make, they came on the same bass. Decent enough sound for arc/pizz

[quote name='charic' post='969077' date='Sep 27 2010, 06:43 AM']Even if you don't like it you should be able to sell it for more I think I think I've shot myself here on that one by saying how much I bought it for.... Actually, If you dont like it give me a PM I might swap my mim pbass [/quote] That's very kind of you sir.

Start your own band..............dictate to others. If you join other people's bands you've got to be prepared to comply, at least until they can trust you.

[quote name='Higgie' post='968570' date='Sep 26 2010, 05:26 PM']I have Shuker Jazz with the Villex system in it, which I paid £635 for, and I thought it was a BARGAIN at that price. Go back and buy it. Immediately.[/quote] Ok, Ok, Ok stop going on.....I've got the message you lot are such nags. The gentleman has been contacted and his hand well and truly chewed off. He is now auditioning for the Captain Hook part in local am dram Peter Pan production. Should be collected end of this week, or next weekend. I will post some pics up when in my grubbies. Thanks for the info and posts, very helpful indeed. John

Cool! I bought a 6 string bass off him today, and whilst I was there he just got out all his basses and I had a play on them all. Couple of Shukers, and some Fenders and he said if I knew anyone who fancied the Jazz it was £500 including the case....think I'll go back and bite his hand off (which won't be nice for him clearly, seeing how he's offered me a bargain... and he'll have to adjust his technique to compensate). Thanks fellas, John

In a chance meeting with another bass player, he offered me hi Shuker jazz bass with villex notch knob thing, for £500. It's immaculate as he is a collector and looks after his guitars. I rather liked it's construction and the neck was very nice and I don't usually go for maple boards, but this was good. (Block fret markers were quite retro looking. Anyway, is this good value? I have no idea, I don't really need another bass but it was very light compared to my 20 year old USA Jazz. Any love for Shukers?

Anyone in or around south west got a stick they'd wouldn't mind me having a go on? I'm thinking of getting one but would like to look and try first. Thanks, John

[quote name='Beedster' post='955721' date='Sep 14 2010, 09:09 AM']OK, I have a budget of up to £1200 on this. Having done some homework, I'd like a SLB100 (not SLB 200). Cheers Chris[/quote] how's the mic working out? John

Chris bought a K&K golden bullet off me. Quick payment and bought me a drink.....! I'm proud to be on this wall of shame. John

[quote name='Jigster' post='951428' date='Sep 10 2010, 08:13 AM']Been a BC member since June 09 and decided this morning to make my first excursion into the Double Bass section - what's all that about then?[/quote] Expensive, that's what it is Chris.
