giblett123 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) SOLD - Pending the Usual. Morning all, here we have my Shuker Custom Jazz 4 which I commissioned to be built Nearly 2 years ago (received it month ago so the bass is not a 2yo). It is as new and stunning in every way, a truly awesome sound but I'm finding myself using my Shuker PJ almost permanently (built at the same time) as it suits the stuff I'm currently doing and have a 5er due in soon too so this probably wont get the playing it deserves, thus I'm floating it to see if there is any interest. [b]Specs are: [/b]Alder body finished in "Shell pink" nitro cellulose (pale and pastel like and not "barbie" in any way)! with parchment s/plate, maple neck with maple board and black dots,38.5mm at the nut, slim profile neck, 21 frets, Gotoh bridge, Bareknuckle J pickups with white covers, East J- retro deluxe circuit with vol, blend, mid+sweep, treb/bass stack, passive tone/push pull passive bypass (i.e. you can have the traditional passive J sound or at the push of a knob access a seriously broad range of tones, infor on the premp: [url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url]). Hiscox case. [b]Condition:[/b] Mint, no marks or wear whatsoever. [b]Trades?[/b] Not looking for one especially but I have a weakness for nice toys so you never know, please feel free to ask......Stingrays, Overwaters (UK built not a tanglewater), Sadowskys, GB, with possible cash adjustments either way. I'll put up some better pics when I get home tonight and have a fair few which I can mail so feel free to PM me and ask. Cheers for looking. Chris. Edited May 19, 2012 by giblett123
tom1946 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Crikey that's outstanding Chris, what does it weigh?
giblett123 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Guilty as charged! I may yet pull it and it is probably the wrong thing to do, just worried it won't get played And obviously I've a few quid tied up in it, I'm definitely having a preference for a warm P! Weight wise Tom I'm not sure, I think it would probably be round the 9lb mark, I'll be brave and waddle onto the scales in a bit!
giblett123 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 PS I'm on a machine with better pics, want seem to upload hi res, if anyone wants a peek PM me an email addy and I'll send em through.
Pete1967 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I'm having palpitations..... God I'd like this....
giblett123 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Gone on Pete, give in to the force! Its just under 9 1/2lbs Tom, kind of fluctuates with my crappy balance!
giblett123 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 PM's replied and a couple of better pics up, will try and get some sound clips sorted this week.
Pete1967 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 The Force truly must be at work here... Minutes after my previous post Jon mailed me about my ongoing build and cured my GAS! Sigh But a bump for a GORGEOUS bass...
giblett123 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 Probably, it's what I do best! So, you don't fancy a wee punt it yourself then? Cool looking partner for your other v nice looking Shuker? When my regret kicks in I could save up and buy it back off you!
redd Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Beautiful... (Btw if any bc'ers out there are a bit shuker curious then can I suggest you try one out. I've managed to pick up 2 now and they are simply incredible works of art. The build quality is amazing.)
lozbass Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Outrageous - palpitations. Would love this (and a fantastic BCer!)
giblett123 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks for the kind words gents, it is a fine bass. Ps if anyone wants to try the thing they are more than welcome to swing by and have a play.

giblett123 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 Hell yeah, always been partial to a bit of pink!
shizznit Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Such a shame you don't think you will play it much, especially after waiting so long for it. I am placing an order with Jon in the summer to build me a J bass in addition to the Uberhorn he is currently building for me, so this would be tempting. Despite of the metro-sexual colour (which I actually like very much on this bass!), I do prefer 24 fret necks. One of my students has some inheritance money that is burning a hole in her pocket and is looking to upgrade. She loves anything pink, so this might be up her street! She has a lesson booked with me this Thursday, so I will mention this bass to her and I will PM you. Edited April 23, 2012 by shizznit
giblett123 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers Shizznit, much appreciated, there's always a potential deal to be done here!
karlfer Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Pink jazzes look fantastic, especially with brown tortie 'plates. I'm 6ft 1 and ugly as sin but would be delighted to gig at the legendary Dog and Duck every Saturday night with this (my old Yamaha quells any trouble it really would hammer nails in ). Bump for a truly wonderful instrument. Edited April 23, 2012 by karlfer
BassMan94 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I've played this one, sounds a beast ! If I had the cash, would've nabbed this by now
giblett123 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Cheers guys, it is nice...anyway, bassman94 is loaded, c'mon Manraj, open that wallet, you know it makes sense!
