eude Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Another bump for a gorgeous bass! If that was a 33"er I'd be in serious trouble with the wife Eude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthumb Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 This was my baby. I ordered it with Alan and I'm so happy to read all the positive comments about her. The quality, finish is fantastic. Alan is a true master and TBH I was a idiot to sell it on just because I 'didnt connect' with it. I really should have given it more time but when you're used to simple Fenders etc. a bass like this is a lot more 'pro' than a simple Luddite like me should own! I'd love to be in a position to buy this back because if I could she would be in my grubby hands right now. Buy it. You wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just working through it at the moment. Soundwise, we're in Active Jazz territory with potential Warwick leanings. I thought the neck pup postion would make it tight for slapping, but no. It's fine. Slaps like a demon. It needs the nut swapping out 'cos the G's bottoming out on the first fret when popping, and it's one of the few basses I've had that doesn't like DR's. I swear by DR Hi-beams and lo-riders, but this fella sings with Dean Markley Blue Steels. And Mr Shuker'll sort that nut out in no time (I might try a brass one). It looks the business and the Recurve shape is funky (it's a shade bigger than an MM sterling). It's not light, but it's well balanced. The build quality is excellent and the fret job is wonderfull (it takes a seriously low action if required). We're off to a good start Edited August 23, 2011 by desmondpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to meet up with you in-person and hope the family enjoyed the day-out in Howarth. Sorry to hear about the minor nut problem - I'm not much a slapper/popper, so hadn't experienced that, but I'm sure Jon will sort it. Interesting reflection(s) on the strings (.. and the bass, overall).[/quote] ......yeah, I think I've actually had my first duff e-string from DR. I tried the same hi-beam set on my jazz and again, it sounded.....off. That's a first for DR (unlike Ernie Ball. At one point every other pack I was buying had a bum string).
