She looks fantastic! Congrats. I'm waiting to pick up my 150. My Luthier is away for a few very ill-timed days.

I'm not finding such a FB page... is there a link someone could provide?

Hi McGryff!

The Facebook Shen Owner's Club page is not the normal personal Facebook page we have but is part of their "Pages" system. If you do a search for Shen then it /should/ pop up. If not I'll post the url to the site once I get home from work. No access to FB from here.

Please do! I tried a search for "shen," but still came up blank. Thanks!

Got an E-mail from my Luthier! He said if he can get 30 - 45 minutes of uninterupted time he'll have my 150 ready for tonight! I think he's alone at the shop and dealing with customers while trying to work on my bass. It's all too much..going to explode.

Here she is all strung up!

Atmaram · #**272** 01-25-2013, 10:19 PM

My first DB!

Her name is Missy. Named after my amazing wife Malissa who got her for my birthday. Life long dream come true. Now to learn how to play the darn thing!

Shooshami · #**273** 01-28-2013, 10:03 AM

Atmaram, I just saw your post and thought it was cool. I also received my first double bass on my 40th birthday, thanks to my wife and folks, although mine isn't a Shen. Two and a half years later it's even more of an obsession than it was when I got it. I hope your bass serves you well!

I've posted on here in the past year that I was not getting much volume and low end from my Shen SB-150. I'd finally drummed up the scratch for some new strings and so I switched out the Zyex mediums for Spirocores as per several suggestions from folks and the bass has improved substantially in volume, sustain, and tone.

The Zyex had good volume and tone bowed on this bass but with pizz, what I do mostly, the E was weak and died off too soon. They also made a lot of clatter because I was overplaying trying to get the sound and volume I desired.

I did not try any other strings because I don't have the cash to experiment right now and felt like the Spiros would be a good bet based on what I've heard about them. I am even able to bow them better than I anticipated.

It's like having a new bass.

Adagio · #**276** 02-02-2013, 09:11 PM

Just out of curiosity, weich or mittels?

erniej · #**277** 02-03-2013, 10:57 AM

Mittel. Red wraps.

neddyrow · #**278** 02-03-2013, 06:09 PM

I am ver happy to join the shen club! I just bought the SB 300 from hqubed (awesome guy!!!) today. I love the bass already. And it was awesome to meet a fellow TBer. We're pretty great people. I'll send a pic along soon.

BassmanI · #**279** 02-08-2013, 06:17 PM

I'm in the process of purchasing my SB80 and having it fitted with brass bridge adjusters, new D'Addario Helicore Hybrids, and the German endpin. I should have the bass by next weekend and will post pics toot-sweet.

Fat Steve · #**280** 02-11-2013, 02:00 PM

Just picked up my first DB over the weekend: a brand new SB 80

Thanks to the folks over at FMI. Got a good deal, and some pointers on how to make some noise with the big critter. Already played two parties with it, and the response was surreal. Thanks to everyone around here for the sage advice.
