Owen Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Fit. The Uberhorn really is the nicest development of the Jazz shape. Quote
Pete1967 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I was lucky enough to see this in the flesh at Jon's workshop. The top is almost otherworldly in the flesh. Nice pics but no photo could ever do it justice really. Simply stunning! Quote
rk7 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Lovely, absolutely lovely! Congratulations man. RK Quote

Musicman20 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Now usually that wouldn't be my thing, but wow, is that stunning work! Lovely bass, awesome birdseye! Quote
funkypenguin Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Wow!!!! Thats one of the most beautiful shukers ive seen yet, that top is mindblowing! Soundclips please!! Quote
rk7 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Fantastic bass, beautiful workmanship, and thanks for sharing the video! RK Quote
shizznit Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 I waffled on a bit in the video because I was really pumped when I opened the case. I think covered everything! I'll upload a sound clip of the bass as soon as I get time next week. I'll also post a review on BC. Almost forgot! A big thanks to Dood for helping me get this build off the ground. His in depth product knowledge really helped me to make the right decision to place an order with Jon Shuker. Quote

ezbass Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I love the momentary silence just as you opened the case, followed by laughter. You could have got away with stopping the video there and we'd have totally got it. That said, a very thorough walk through the construction, very informative, thanks for that. Looking forward to hearing the sound clips. Quote

[/quote] Yeah, I didn't really intend to chat about the bass to that extent, but a few of my friends that are not BC members were interested to know more about it, so it was for more their benefit really...and anyone else considering placing an order with Shuker too.

Myke Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) How did you manage to talk for 16mins before playing it I am so very glad (for us watchers) that you did though! Very informative! Beautiful! Edited October 16, 2013 by Myke Quote
shizznit Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Jon didn't waste any time to get the bass on the website... http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/uberhorngallery.html Quote
funkypenguin Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Your bass and the thru-fingerboard poplar 5 string at the top are some of the most incredible basses jon has produced yet Quote
Pete1967 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 should we assume from the lack of updates that the bass hasn't yet left your body, thereby preventing access to a computer keyboard... Seriously - how does it sound. Really hoping it's sounds as good as it looks? Quote

The bass has played 6 gigs since it arrived and done a recording job, so I have given it a good test drive. Once I get the chance to sit down infront of my computer I will post a detailed review. In short, Jon has done a very fine job! The bass is incredible! Quote
zenbassuk Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Now I am excited, Just finalising my new bass with Jon, I've had 2 of his basses both were stunning, This new one will be absolutely amazing if this work is anything to go by. Awesome..!! Do you know us British have some of the best builders in the world, make me humble to be sure. Edited November 6, 2013 by zenbassuk Quote
