    I've just added a pic of the flamed top which is a about 18mm thick with a blackwood strip separating...... I do like a nice thick figured top.

    He's under rated, if you ask me. I have four of his basses and they are all beautifully crafted by hand (pin router and hand carving, not CNC) and play as well as anything I've ever owned.

    Here we have my Musicman Sterling Black Onyx from 2002 in near mint condition (there's some fine swirling on the pick guard is all) with case and tags. For those that don't know, these were a limited "custom shop" run of 150 pieces, 75 for the USA and 75 everywhere else, of which this is number 46 from the US. I bought it when I first started work for Marvel in 2002. It's never been gigged or practiced outside of my studio and it's currently wearing a new set of Black Beauties (nothing else will do). It's black. The price is £1000 collected from the shed in Sheffield or local meetup. I'll arrange UK delivery for cost.

    Next up is my Shuker series 2 headless bass built around a Moses/Steinberger carbon fiber neck. It has ABM tuner/bridges, EMG MMTW pickup (with series/parallel switching) into an EMG BQS system pre. The finish is of Jon's devising. He's overlaid a pearlescent texture over satin white which is quite subtle most of the time. Get it in the right light, though, and it shows off a green/pink webbing effect. I'll try to catch it in the pics...... The string spacing is 16mm, scale length 34" and it's light. Around 7, 7.5lbs I reckon. The body wood is alder. Setup is low and super stable. The sound is the opposite of what I imaged EMG and graphite would be, warm and growly as hell. Cut the mids, however, and you get a super-sharp slap tone. Condition is as new and the price is £800 with a padded gig bag, no offers or trades. Collection or meetup within about 60 miles is preferred, but UK postage is possible at cost.

    ....Oh, and it's 34" scale.....

    Hey folks, The time has come for me to sell a good portion of my 17 strong collection of basses. We're looking at moving house towards the end of the year and we're going to need the cash. So, with much regret, the first one I'm offering up for sale is my 2013 (I think) Shuker modern active jazz, built to my specs which are as follows: Body: book matched flamed/quilted mahogany over a mahogany compact jazz body. neck: 5 piece maple and wenge with lay-back headstock which sports a figured mahogany laminate on the top. Fret board is a beautifully aged Tulipwood (very dense and sounds like ebony) with abalone markers. Measures 40mm at the nut (which is brass). Electronics: S D sjb3 jazz pickups into a STC 3p 3 band preamp. Bridge: Schaller 2000 Tuners: Gotoh. It plays brilliantly and sounds kind of like a Marcus Miller, but more compressed and even IMHO. It weighs in at about 9-9.5lbs, in as new condition and comes with a decent gigbag. Price: £900. no offers or trades, please. I prefer collection or meet up somewhere within about 60 miles of Sheffield but will post to the UK for cost.

    Bargain and a half, this. If I had the room I'd have it now. Is it a factory gloss coat, BTW? Looks good.

    I have a 55-60 with Barts and an East and it sounds fantastic.

    I've just bought a Dean Jeff Berlin off Mike. It's a damn fine bass, very well set up and in very good nick. Tea and bounty bars were also provided which I very much appreciated. Great guy to deal with.
