I'm good thanks Steve. Busy with work and a new band. Funnily enough, I've just got rid of my second P bass too as I couldn't see the point in hvaing 2 that did the same thing Still cricketing?

Oh Steve, how could you! Seriously, the black BG was one of the best basses I have owned and one I really regret moving on. The neck is superb and it's a very comfortable weight. Tempted.........

Hi Barrie. God Save the Queen Weight is 10lbs (maybe 10lbs 1oz) Not sure who made the pickup as all the Shuker website says is "custom wound pickup". I have a feeling it's Seymour Duncan but I could have made that up. Pickguards are included in the price as I'd have no use for them.

Hi Andy Jon charged £25 each for the pickguards. The bass is a standard spec JJ Burnel P bass but was built from new for Dan in a custom colour. As it's not black, Jon and Dan agree dto not put the JJ Burnel signature on the headstock. To be honest, the more I play this, the more I'm falling in love with it

[quote name='deanbean502' timestamp='1338025587' post='1668739'] I would have had this last week, can't believe its still here [/quote] I should've taken you up on your offer

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1337787946' post='1665492'] Did you say in the OP that Jon is making a black pickguard for this? [/quote] That's right. he's making 2; a black one and a vintage white one. The black one is finished and the vintage white one should be done by the end of this week

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1336937483' post='1653029'] What is wide band tone cut? [/quote] It apparently takes a little more treble off than the original tone pot on JJ's bass. To my ears though it gives more tonal variation than a normal P Bass tone circuit

I recently acquired this of Dan Webb on this very forum. It's a Shuker JJ Burnel Signature P Bass that has been finished in a gorgeous metallic purple with pearloid pickguard, rather than the usual black livery. Build quality is superb and the satin finish neck is one of the nicest I've played. The bass is absolutely superb and in mint condition. It weighs in at 10lbs and plays beautifully (currently fit with a set of Flatwounds). Jon is currently making a vintage white and a black pickguard as personally I think it will look better with one or the other. It also comes with a Protection Racket gigbag (superb piece of kit). I intended to keep this bass but a serious mishap with my Mountain Bike has added a considerable amount of expense I wasn't expecting! I'm looking for £860 (or £830 without gigbag) for this, but would consider trading down value-wise for an Epiphone Jack Casady with the balance being paid in cash. I may consider a US Fender P Bass, 51 or Sting P Bass or Fender Jazz plus cash my way too. Here is the spec: [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Width at nut 44mm [color=#000000]3 piece basswood and english white ash body[/color] [color=#000000]40mm thickness[/color] [color=#000000]polyester basecoat, black colour, wet look lacquer top coat.[/color] [color=#000000]laminated Phenolic scratchplate[/color] [color=#000000]custom wound P pickups (slightly overwound)[/color] [color=#000000]Gotoh bridge, chrome[/color] [color=#000000]straplocks[/color] [color=#000000]copper can shielding[/color] [color=#000000]wide band tone cut[/color] [color=#000000]maple neck[/color] [color=#000000]maple f/board, black front and side dots[/color] [color=#000000]Or rosewood board, white fron and side dots[/color] [color=#000000]jumbo fretwire[/color] [color=#000000]two way adjustable truss rod, neck heel end adjustable[/color] [color=#000000]dual carbon fibre neck reinforcement[/color] [color=#000000]Gotoh tuners[/color] [color=#000000]brass nut[/color] [color=#000000]satin finish on neck[/color] [color=#000000]individually signed and numbered[/color][/font][/size] Thanks for looking.

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1336674346' post='1649382'] i used to own that ray [/quote] Small world It's the best ray I've ever played

A bit of a quandary here; over the last few months I have acquired a 3 eq MM Stingray Fretless and a Fender Japan unlined Fretless. I only need one, but can't decide WHICH one!! As a result, Im putting both up for sale and will keep the other. The first is a 1998 MM Stingray unlined Fretless in amberburst. It has the nicest figuring on the neck i have ever seen and is in superb condition apart from a dent on the top edge where the forearm rests. The ding goes through the paint and the finish has started to crack in places. It's not serious and unnoticeable from the front. Apart from that, I can't see a mark on the bass. The fretboard is Pao Ferro. There are a few minor string marks, but not much at all. Action is really low (recently set up and cleaned at quite an expense with new La Bella flats). It probably weighs no more than 8.5lbs The Ray will come with a gigbag as I do not have the case. I'm looking for £650 plus P&P

I'm up in Lutterworth on Thursday until about 3pm

BUMP

[size=3][font=Arial]For Sale is a Washburn AB20 Electro-Acoustic Bass in superb condition. This is not to be confused with the AB10 and is a far superior instrument. The finish is wonderful and the colour is stunning.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1335737417' post='1635354'] Do you know if the tuners are the ones mentioned in my previous post? [/quote] Hi there THese are the tuners made for the 2008 onwards Fender basses, so I don't think they're the same ones. I'll take a pic though so you can check for definite.
