edstraker123 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Hi folks, The credit crunch has bitten and therefore I am selling my Shuker 4 string fretted through neck custom with hard case. The spec of the bass is as follows : Wenge, flamed maple & paduak laminated neck. Black walnut body core with flamed myrtlewood body facings. Ebony fingerboard. EMG Hz pickups (passive) EMG 3 band Eq. Schaller Bridge Gotoh GB707 tuners Optima gold strings It was bought new from Jon Shuker in May 2007 by myself and has only been played in the house and is therefore in mint condition. No trades as need the cash and the bass is currently listed on Ebay (but only has watchers not bidders)so would be happy to withdraw it for a fellow basschatter. Collection only from Liverpool £900 cash. Jon has also made some custom knobs for the bass in matching woods (apart from the bottom half of the split one which he couldn't do)which I will also include.

saibuster Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 this bass looks amazing, if i only i had the cash... good luck!
Sean.Robinson Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, have you got any pictures of the bass yourself please and not the ones from the shuker site, i rang jon wanting this bass but was told it was sold so im very interested Thanks Sean
Kev Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 its funny, shukers are like the fenders of the luthier world, but yet they are hardly ever for sale second hand proves what quality basses they must be!
Machines Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hmm, I thought there'd been a few up in the last few months ! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=757434673fb3a3ffe5ec5501d7059db1&search_in=titles&result_type=topics&highlite=%2Bshuker"]Evidence[/url]

If anything the gold strings make it look even better and the knobs now match the body woods - I thought the originals let the bass down a bit which is why I asked Jon to make the custom ones. It was a shame he struggled with the split knob and could not do the bottom part of it , although he did say he would give it more thought (but was probably the last thing on his mind with the move etc.)so I didn't want to badger him about it.

The action is so low it virtually plays itself ! Damn these price increases !
burno70 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Can't believe this bass hasn't sold yet mate, I'd deffo buy it off you if I had the cash. To anyone who's considering buying this - I've played it myself and it's a fantastic bass, amazingly low action, great tone and the build is second to none - it is a Shuker afterall. I remember Jon telling me that this was a one off design for the Musikmesse in Germany so there's no doubting it's originality. Anyone wanting an instant high-end bass without the 3-5 months wait really need look no further. Good luck with the sale amigo.
jay Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Any chance of some sound clips to hear the some of the different tones the bass is capable of? It is a fantastic looking bass!
edstraker123 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 [b][size=7]PRICE DROP !!!!![/b][/size] Now £1095 and if any of you guys wish to arrange a courier to collect the bass (most of them provide this service online) I am willing to accomodate this. (At your risk and expense of course !)
Bill Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Bump for a beautiful bass! ive got a lot of respect for shukers, they are great sounding and great looking basses!
edstraker123 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 [size=7]LAST CHANCE !!![/size] I think the god's of bassdom are trying to tell me something and save me from a lifetime of regret ! If my beloved Shuker hasn't sold by the end of August it will never be offered for sale again - so if ya want it......
