FuNkShUi Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I got this bass off Scooby/Pete so i hope he doesnt mind me using parts from his advert.The bass is a Custom super Jazz, burl walnut drop top on an ash body, birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, custom wound pick-ups, knobs: vol, vol, bass treble, 34" scale, 40mm at top nut and 45mm at 12th fret. The neck profile is the slim jazz style and the bass is set-up to perfection. The weight it approx 3.8 kilos and balances really nicely. The bass comes with a new gig bag. This bass is mint, is only a months old, has never left the house and is just a dream to play. The new price for a custom build like this from Jon is in excess of £1850 depending upon the spec. Im selling it because i dont get a chance to use it anymore, and i feel, just sitting there, its going to waste.Feel free to offer up any sensible trades. I want £1000 for the bass. Like i said, its mint and is worth that much! If anyone wants to pop in for a play of it, thats fine too! ~Cheers edit: pics now added, thanks Luke
FuNkShUi Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 yeh i mentioned i dont know how to post pictures, but if you sent me your email, id be happy to send some onto you Cheers

FuNkShUi Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Yeh those are pictures Scooby/Pete has uploaded to photobucket when making a sale. It did have the Shuker, but now it has the Status. I have pictures of the bass to send. If youd like me to forward them to you, just let me know Thanks

MarkusWarwick Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 That is beautiful. Only words for it, beautfiul.
FuNkShUi Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 I think its a two band EQ. Im not 100% on that though, ill check it when i get in from work. Its like i said, ive hardly played it, so im not really sure!
Rumble Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I remember playing this when Scooby had it. Lovely, lovely piece of craftmanship. IIRC it's a 2 band EQ.
chilievans Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I have a Shuker jazz and its awesome. I just wish I had the money to buy this one
FuNkShUi Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 just noticed your in aberdare chillie, not too far away if you wanna come have a try....
FuNkShUi Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 had a couple of offers, but nothing has taken my fancy yet. Im looking to trade down or make a straight swap. So dont be afraid to offer a bass of less value plus however much money youd feel comfortable offering. Cheers

[/quote] Really tempted bud but I need to hang on to my kidneys. ;-) I can't believe its still here. Jon Shukers instruments are awesome
