Old Horse Murphy Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I am hopefully going up to Jon's on 20th March while he works on the shape and neck profile of my 5 string P-Bass. If anyone wants me to get any updates/photos of work in progress, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Quote

Sibob Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Isn't it worth just writing into the BassChat rules that: "If any member is to visit Jon Shuker's Workshop, he/she is obligated to take photo evidence of all builds currently undertaken by said Luthier" Cos lets face it, the only work Jon gets is from this board!

Si[/quote] LOL, I wouldn't say 'the only' necessarily. He gets a fair amount of repair work as well. But certainly a lot of commissions come from here and anyone offering good value, open mindedness to requests and attention to customer satisfaction probably deserves the same recognition. BTW, if some shots are possible and if the wings have been cut, I'd appreciate some photos of my headless MIDI 6 string Quote

Old Horse Murphy Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Many apologies, but the arranged visit to Jon never happened, as I spent most of Thursday waiting for police, scenes of crime, the insurance company etc due to some piece of scum trying to break in during the early hours. Fortunately, the security bolt and the dog frightened them away before they got in fully, but 2 houses down the road weren't so lucky. In a way I'm glad I didn't catch them as if I had, I'd probably be in custody as we speak. There seems to be a run recently of burglars seeing a nice car on the drive and breaking in to steal the keys and take the car. We were away this weekend and i managed to avoid my wife's question as to why I was bringing a Stingray and a Lakland JO with us. I think she would have been more p*ssed off if I asked her to sit in the back and put the basses in the passenger seat!! Quote
