giblett123 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Morning everyone, This is the latest instalment in my bass clear out. Ok, this is my custom built Shuker "horn" 4 string that I bought from new very recently, Its one of Jon's own shapes/specs so there probably isn't that many about. The fit and finish is right out of the top drawer with a really nice attention to detail and a fantastic neck, anyone who's played these will know how good they are, fat, punchy and very versatile, soundwise they are kind of cross between a 70's jazz and a Ray but you can dial in pretty much anything, I love it but as always I have seen something that I've been waiting forever to come up and need to raise some cash pronto! [b]Specs:[/b] Bolt on neck (slimmish profile), 34" scale 24 frets. maple/wenge laminated neck, madagascan rosewood f/board with some nice patterning, carbon fibre reinforcement, two way truss rod, white ash body with a green tint and black grain fill satin finish, Delano PCHE & SBC pickups, ABM bridge, Gotoh tuners, black hardware, Seymour Duncan 3 band active circuit with "slap switch". [b]Condition[/b]: Its new, pristine, there are no marks, scratches wear or any issues whatsoever. [b]Price[/b]: I'd like £899 [b]NOW £650 ono to get things moving[/b] which is less than I paid and yes, I can ship & of course if you are in the Midlands you are more than welcome to come round and try it out. [b]Trades[/b]: I wasn't as it was a fund raiser but I won't be offended by offers as you never know so please ask. especially if you have something passive e.g. a nice P? Cheers for looking Chris.

JMT3781 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have one of these (currently waiting to be picked up by another member) And they are nice basses for the money, very light and comfy to play. Chris is cool to deal with.. so don´t hesitate those who missed out on mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
