So I’m now the latest keeper of the pink Rockinfreakapotamus.
I’m not here to introduce the bass, I’m here to gush about Jon Shuker.
I’ve never had an interest in the name, never had one of his basses on my radar but I was mistaken and wrong.
Custom hardware aside (it’s got a lane Poor pickup and bad a$$ bridge.)
I’m familiar with Lane Poor from other basses I’ve owned, this is a legacy not original (anyone have one to sell?) but it’s still tight, punchy and hot.
That aside the build quality is superb, balance, neck and overall feel are I think probably some of the best I’ve played and many of you know the basses that have been through my grubby mitts.
I do like a battered bass and I think the relic job on this is done well.
If you haven’t checked out a Shuker, I think you should, I will certainly be keeping my eye on the market place.
I hear rumour of the grey one that has just changed hands and I’d like to track that one down too so the pair can be reunited!
@walshy I’m sure you know where it is you keep tabs on this duo.
Great commission and Jon if you follow basschat you have a new customer.
