I don't have a good picture of me playing it, but here's my niece and me jamming.

kmanley, you should really write some tunes and make the world's first one man bluegrass band. You've got the strings for it! Gorgeous collection!

Thanks. I've actually since that picture gotten rid of the old acoustic and electric guitars, and acquired another banjo. I should probably get an updated picture.

Well, banjo > guitar, IMHO, so..... :3

I've been raving about Shen's for years and now own my third, a SB-200, had bought and sold another Willow and an SB-150 in the past. I'm not much for joining clubs, but very happy to be behind a Shen. I'll find a photo for you guys after a while.

I played an SB-200 willow yesterday, and it sounded amazing. It felt really nice to play too.
It was brand new and it sounded terrific!
I might be joining you guys soon!

I've had a SB-300 for about a year and love it.

This was taken at the Bass Celler when I was trying it out.

And this was taken at a gig a few weeks ago.

I own a Shen SB150 hybrid. I can't stop playing it.

I'm in, I'll post a pic soon.

Sorry I've been gone everybody, my mother is currently going through chemotherapy treatments, and I've been with her in the hospital. Tomorrow I start summer music camp at University of Illinois, and will return with updates and numbers on Saturday. Until then, enjoy having somewhere to talk about our chinese babies =3

 

[JeffBTZ]

Count me in. Number please.

Just picked it up today. I have absolutely 0 playing experience, so this should be fun... Also grabbed a German bow of Gollihur (I think...) origins from Cincinnati Bass Cellar.

Congrats, Shens are great.

btw, pick your left arm up as if you are going to choke an imaginary person between you and the bass. With your arm that low angled in the photo you will get sore and fatigued.

Good tip. I really have never played an instrument like this before. I play BG and guitar, so this is a whole new animal. I've put away my bass for now so as to not develop terrible technique right away.
