Thanks for all the kind comments. It is a very special bass, and I won't be the least bit bothered if I end up keeping it. Be nice if someone on here gave it a home and regularly played it though

[b]NOW SOLD - THANKS FOR ALL THE INTEREST.[/b] Bought this from JohnBiffa on here 3 months ago, for a 50's project that never got off the ground. John commissioned it himself from Jon Shuker, and waited patiently for 12 months for the build to happen. It's an absolute beauty, and plays and sounds like a dream. It's a typical Shuker bass - really well put together, great sounding and great to play. However, I'm between bands right now, and 6 basses seems a little excessive It's a 51 Precision in period-accurate off white, with black pickguard, and a gorgeous maple neck. Just been fitted with a new set of flats for that authentic retro sound, too. Oh, and I paid for a pro-setup 8 weeks ago, so it plays as good as it looks. The SD pickup works really well, giving a surprising range of tones. It's on Jon Shuker's website (under the P bass gallery), and here are a few recent pics: - It comes with a decent quality gig bag. Looking for £[s]800[/s] £750 collected from j.12 M40 or my office in Solihull. Postage will be at cost, but I would prefer a meet up. Cheers Mark.

Now traded

I bought this a month or so back from here, but I'm just not going to use it as I thought I would. Phil Jones Bass Buddy, in immaculate condition. Comes with power leads, fitted carry case and manual. Works perfectly. I've nicked the following pics from the seller, but it's in the same condition as you can see. I've literally used it for about an hour since getting it. Full spec is on the Phil Jones website [url="http://www.philjonespuresound.com/products/?id=2"]http://www.philjones.../products/?id=2[/url] Looking for what I bought it for £150, collected from home (j.12 M40 - between Leamington & Banbury), or my office in Solihull. I'll post at cost. Will also trade for anything interesting - effects, partial trade (with me putting cash) towards a 4 string bass or EUB. Try me with whatever you've got! Cheers Mark.

I'll take both please. PM incoming! Mark.

I'll take this matey. Will drop you a PM. Mark.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1338233628' post='1671339'] the mudbucker-only option never really did - well, not for anything but early '70s blues rock - which is why you don't see a whole lot of folks using 'em. This bass is definitely best left as is [/quote] Or very cool ska.... Horace used one in the Specials early days: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkKPG0FL4cU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkKPG0FL4cU[/url] I'm wondering how much it'd cost to get this back to original, too....

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1338228993' post='1671224'] Cheers Tredders, things do seem a bit slow at the moment. As you have bought your old one back perhaps I should keep mine, what made you get hold of it again? [/quote] I got rid of mine because I didn't gig it or use it outside of the house at the time. Then as soon as I'd got rid of it, I remembered how I used to keep it in the living room to just noodle about on it if I got 10 mins spare - it was loud enough unamplified to be used to practice. I thought about getting a cheapo acoustic bass, but then realised for not much more I could get another JC. Then my old bass came up for sale, and the rest as they say is history.... Great basses, and with the hard case, it's worth £450 all day long...

I think it's a good price. If I'd not just bought my old Jack Casady back (for the same money), I'd have had this. Nothing seems to be moving at the moment...

That's my old bass, and it is indeed a beaut. Proper "blokes" bass - solidly built, pretty weighty, with a lovely neck. Oh, and Krispn is a top bloke to deal with. I'm actually tempted to buy it back...

Has it got dot markings on the fingerboard? The pics on the Anderton's link show them, but I can't really tell from your pics. I'm after an acoustic for noodling around on - this looks nice.
