Up for sale are my gorgeous Shuker Jazz basses. I picked up the 4 string on here, I believe it to be built in 2008. I commissioned the 5 to be as close as possible to the 4, just with a Low B, and it was completed in 2013. Woods, pickups and electronics are the same. The Villex electronics are insane! These are the 2 most versatile passive Jazz style basses I have ever played. Everything from Jaco to Marcus is in these basses, and all without a battery! The 4 string has reverse wind tuners and a Hipshot Detuner. There are a couple of very small dings on the 5 string, as it's been all over the world with me, but these aren't visible from the front. The 4 string has a ding through the lacquer on the back of the neck at the 12th fret. I can take more detailed pictures if needed.
The 5 string weighs just over 10lbs, and will come with Schaller straplocks and it's original Hiscox Liteflite Case. The 4 string is an even 9lbs, has Dunlop straplocks, and will come with a standard Fender style hardcase, or if you want to knock £25 off, a standard Fender style gig bag.
Ok, pictures available: HERE *PLEASE NOTE THE 5 STRING PRECISION IS NOT FOR SALE*
Basses are both located in Chingford N.E. London. Would prefer collection as opposed to a courier, but one can be arranged at your expense if need be. Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection.
