Shuker Mega thread

[Tinman]

We've seen all the build threads and the odd pic here and there but i thought it would be good to get them all together, in one place.
After all, the Football season is nearly upon us and Shuker FC needs to get down to some training.

I'll start: This is my Bolt on Elite.





So come on people let's see 'em

This is my one...[/quote]
Love the colour of that OHM and the laquer has that depth that you could dive into. Beautiful.

[Finbar]

Been seen before, and I still need better pics, as I maintain that these slightly fuzzy cameraphone shots do the thing no justice, but here you go

Here's my custom J5... since the pics were taken, she's now wearing nice ebony control knobs courtesy of a splendid chap in the US.

Oh - go on then , twist my arm etc.

Besides , we can't let the Wal mafia have a thread of their very own and just sit back looking pleased with themselves!

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='256665' date='Aug 6 2008, 07:41 PM']Congratulations to Rich for modelling 'accessory of the decade' - attached to his stand AND being in the Wal thread too , bloody show off [/quote]Thanks Doc If anyone wants to start a Status thread, I'll muscle my way into that one too

[Toasted]

I'll always be the first to say Shuker's aren't my thing - but I do like Rich's a great deal. It reminds me alot of a Sadowsky M5-24.

[Tait]

Dunno if mine counts, cos i built it on a shuker course. But i like posting pics of it so here it is anyway...

[whynot]

Some very nice basses posted so far.
Well I've had this one for sometime now so an ideal opportunity to share.
Unfortunately I don't have any images of the whole bass apart from live pics but I'm sure you don't want my face spoiling it. Your not missing much else though as it's headless.

[silverfoxnik]

Some lovely basses folks!

I think real credit must got to Mr Shuker (John??) for his versatility! Love OHM's P5 as I'm a traditionalist at heart, but the sheer variety and craftsmanship is stunning, particularly when you see them all together like this..

If Rich does join in the Status thread as well as this one and the Wal thread, then we might as well all pack up and go home now because that's tooooo much!!

I had forgotten about the other one....honest

[RichBowman]

Excellent! Can I play?

Here's my Single-Cut Bolt on 5:













It's back at Jon's at the moment, having a bit of a service.

I'm missing it quite a lot!

Cheers,

Rich

[Rich]

I bet you are, chief. Lovely bass it is too.

[RichBowman]

As is yours, sir!

It's just having a re-shoot of the fretboard - Very useful especially as everything seems to have settled down now!

Hope all is well with you!

Rich

[Tinman]

Now I just know there must be more than this out there

I was at Jons on Thurday and saw it there: I'm doing a build your own with him in September, a 5 string Jazz style and was looking at woods...
