Funkmaster Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) A friend of mine told me a very sorry story on facebook late last night about a friends blue 5-string Shuker Jazz Bass that went walkabout in Marsden West Yorkshire in the early hours of Sunday Morning. Here's the tale... [i]"A friend's brother left it momentarily and stupidly, he says, propped up against a lamp post early hours of this morning in Marsden and it was 'moved'....police are involved and there is cctv footage. He is gutted as it was made specially for him. He is asking people to keep their ears open. It may have been moved for safe keeping...but then it may not. If you hear anything..being in the business ...maybe you could let me know."[/i] If you hear anything about this it would be great to get this guy's bass back to him. Thanks everyone.

skej21 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Bad times. I hope he gets this back soon! I'm sure the Basschat people will be keeping eyes wide open, but any extra/specific info you could give would probably help massively!

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 No, not mine, it looks a bit like it but I've got the shaped body and is slightly darker with a more Fenderish headstock. Lovely distinctive Bass mind, I'll keep my eyes peeled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
