Depends if you want something that cops the vintage vibe (but without Fender idiosyncrasies) vs more modern and active or with a flashy wood top vs simpler colours etc. etc. At this price level you can pick up almost any of the top brands used and some very good ones brand new. As some have said there are custom options available but a lot of the more well known luthiers will push over £2K for a full custom build these days. That's not to say that the less well known ones won't make something very nice. Customs will always lose value faster than 'standard' models though so need to be wary if thinking about re-sale values. Best return on investment at the top of this budget level is an American made Sadowsky. Nothing sells faster than a nice lightweight NYC Sadowsky with high end top wood. Celinders hold value well but the prettier ones have crept over £2K and some are now closer to £3K because there aren't any new ones coming out of Chris' workshop at the moment. Contrary to popular belief, Alleva Coppolos are the easiest of the J type bases to sell and hold value like nothing else. However you won't get close to one at £2K unfortunately. Should be able to get a very good vintage Fender for this money (although 4 bolt necks are right at the top of the budget). Brand new Custom Shop models are kicking around just over £2K (unless they are rare colours or relic'd) and are, in the main, really well made and finished these days. Definitely able to get a used CS for under £2K. Some Sei J's are fabulous value for money. Over £2K new but prices plummet on used ones. Nordy and Lull easily available used in this budget (again they drop value fast from new). I'm sure there's a zillion others too! [/quote] Thanks! your helped alot! but the only problem is that no one sells a NYC jazz sadowsky, or mike lull they are impossible to find in europe in second hand...

Thanks for all the kind advices!! ive narrowed it to sadowsky metro vs custom shuker ive never tried or heard the shuker bass, but by the specs jon sent me, its sounds good anyone tried a shuker jazz?
