Back up for sale - but please read again as there are significant changes (in blue) There is a whole thread about the genesis of this bass which I will attach to the bottom of this ad, but essentially I commissioned Mark to build this for me for a charity gig where we performed the Queen set from Live Aid. At that time, John Deacon had stripped one of his vintage P's to natural and it was used for the gig. He later painted it black as seen on the '86 Magic Tour. Please note that this Precision bass has a Jazz profile neck Other than some light playing at home, it has been used only for the rehearsals and subsequent charity gig. Commissioned 10/4/19 - Completed 6/7/19 - Received by me 10/7/19 - Gigged 23/11/19 The spec on this bass is: 1968 Precision in Natural Light Relic Alder body (upcharge for superior wood selection) Rosewood fretboard with clay dots Weight 8.46lbs J width neck Neck depth at 1st fret: 22.55mm Neck depth at 12th fret: 25.32mm Neck width at nut: 37.41mm Neck width at 12th fret: 55.36mm Neck radius: 10" Hand rolled finger board edges Aged nitro finish on the neck Tortoiseshell scratchplate Vintage reverse Gotoh tuners Aged finish in nitro-cellulose, very light relic Tarnished metal work (but not rusty - yeah right 😂) - This is the reason this bass was withdrawn. It had been sold pending payment and I happened to get it out of its case for a quick noodle. As it hadn't been played for a while, I plugged it into the tuner and noticed the intonation on the A string was slightly out. I attempted to adjust this and found that I couldn't as the intonation screws were solid. In fact, the whole bridge was unadjustable! I removed the bridge from the bass, during which the A string snapped at the tuning peg, which was bit odd as the bass has barely been played. Anyway, I tried everything from soaking the whole bridge in lubricant to brute force. Eventually, all the intonation screws relented, but the saddle height screws were having absolutely none of it. I binned them in the end and ordered some new ones. These ones are shiny as you can see from the photos and the rest of the bridge is as it was. If you would prefer, I can put all of the new bridge on to match the saddles, or you can have it as it is. I don't know what Limelight do to artificially age their parts, but they need to stop, or do it less at the very least. Apparently it's a known issue, but unfortunately, I didn't know or I would have specified 'new' hardware. As mentioned above, as a result of the bridge removal, the A string snapped at the tuning peg. This bass is now wearing a new set of Rotosound RS77LD 45-105 Monel Flatwounds as per John Deacon's preference. Yeah, they're not cheap, but it's not going to cost you extra and neither is the new bridge. If you really don't like flats, I can put a set of round wounds on it for you at no extra cost. Hootenanny button on the back of the headstock Thumb rest below G string Alnico pick ups Vintage wired CTS pots and Spraque cap Switchcraft Jack Period correct Fender Big TV logo (as per pictures) Comes in an old, but functional hard case. Shipping update - If you are within a reasonable distance, I'm sure we can work out a meet somewhere. I live in South Essex, but do travel up to relatives in Colchester. I'm also gigging in Derbyshire at the end of this month (July 2021). Failing that, for £50, you can take part in @walshy's 'man with a van' experience. I've tried it and it's great - a total peace of mind service at an affordable price. I would have to double check with him depending on your location, but he has done one long run for me at that price, so I'm hopeful. He's also done many trips for @walshy as well as a few other people I know on Basschat. This is the link for the bass on Limelight web site. Photos - all photos are representative of the bass as it is now apart from the new shiny saddles and the flat wound strings mentioned above. I have included one photo at the bottom of how the bridge is now. This is the link for the thread I started on Basschat about this bass. Apologies for the quality, but here is a short video of its one and only outing. It does exactly what it says on the headstock.

Now £900 5 string Shuker for sale. My 'go to' bass for many years. Some marks on headstock and neck, little bit of belt rash on the back. Got my eye on something expensive which forces the sale. Update: just emailed Me Shuker with a few questions regarding the bass. He very kindly furnished me with the following reply: Shuker 5 string Series 2 bass 34” scale 24 frets 48mm nut width string spacing 19mm at bridge end 20.5mm neck depth at 1st fret 22.5mm at 12th shallow C carve Maple and wenge laminated neck birdseye fretboard brown mallee headstock veneer 2 way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement brass/phenolic laminated nut 6mm black face dots 2mm black side dots satin neck lacquer jumbo stainless fretwire?

I thin it was originally built for a chap called Si Cox, must be 15-17 years ago I reckon. Based in Macclesfield, socially distanced plays available! (With Tea).

Made in 2000, German, plays beautifully. You can see a scratch/ding near the bolts at the back, and one on the main horn and the rest is usual small buckle marks around the back body. Some tiny scuffs at the butt too. Neck is great, no cracks , action really nice and frets are excellent too, no dead spots or indents. Massively reluctant to sell this, but want to get a Spector again! Willing to ship within UK Cheers Gaz

Hi all, Some time back I decided that I wanted to try the 5 string Jazz thing again. It did not work for me: I like 5 and 6 string basses just as much as the next guy, but not if they are Fender-like. Makes complete sense, doesn't it? Well, that's my story anyways. So I think I am going to buy another one of these, but 4 string. Hence the decision to list this beauty. I have absolutely no complaints about this instrument. The fretwork is top notch, the rolled edges of the fingerboard are something to lust over, and the colour is fantastic (especially with a zebra-print strap, which I can strongly recommend). The tone is stellar, but we all know that by now. The weight, too, is decent on this one: 4.7 kilograms on ye olde bathroom scale. Bought from Andertons a couple of months back, obviously never gigged and set up with extra care by yours truly. Not only that, but I also did some necessary set up, such as filing the nut to the correct height—so you don’t have to. The bass is effectively new, so why not knock 100 quid off the list price? The specs are listed below. Of note, this is a 2nd generation iteration, which is great because the radius is much less extreme than the original 7.25", which drove me crazy. For the connoisseurs, there is some very nice birdseye figuring on the maple fretboard, which is a thing of beauty. I have tried to capture it, but it's not so easy. Trades: thanks, but no thanks, unless you have a USA Stingray 5H with an Alnico pick up which you are willing to part with (of course, the difference in trade value would be compensated). Offers: open to reasonable ones, but, really, the bass is new.
