Not a 6 string man myself, but that looks immense.
Love it

Very nice. My Shuker is still keeping my gear lust at bayfor the last 6 years.

Shuker killed my GAS. Ended up getting rid of all my other basses and have not looked at another for 10 years now!

Could it be that the cure to GAS is a Shuker?

Any excuse to get it out (ooer). I first posted about this in a remarkably short-on-detail entry back on page 1 (15 years ago!), and it's still as gorgeous now as the day I first picked it up in March 2007, more so in fact. Behold, my custom J5... English white ash body with a burr poplar top, matching front/back facings on the headstock and matching ramp, all in a satin baccy-sunburst finish; neck is maple, wenge and flamed maple with a bird's eye maple board; orange side LEDs; Delano quad-coil humbuckers with coil taps, and Jon's own 3-band EQ with a push/push switch on the volume control for the LEDs; ebony control knobs; Hipshot Ultralite tuners.

I originally specced it with EMG-TW pickups, but I changed them for the Delanos a few years back and they're a thousand times better. The tap setting on the EMGs just made them quieter, but with the Delanos it's a proper tone change. The neck pickup adopts a split-P arrangement when it's tapped, which is ideal.

I didn't gig the bass much (if at all) for a few years, using my Sire V7 instead, but I've started taking the Shuker out instead of late and to be honest I've barely even looked at the Sire for months. As good as the Sire is, this is just perfect. Even now after all these years, I have to keep looking at it to make sure it's actually mine.  

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... when I took it to Jon to get the Delanos fitted, he told me that another customer had seen his gallery pics of my bass and loved it so much that they had him build a six string version to a virtually identical spec.

Ooh what kind of a messed up shuker thread doesn't have mine in it!

 

Actually it has one I think, as I owned that 6 string up there ^ but the string spacing was too much for me.

So I just have this:

Double-quadruple phwoarr with an extra helping of crikey. That is food for the soul. 💘

[Quatschmacher]

Should probably add mine here:

[Ash121987]

Here's my 5 string Horn bass, purchased around 2016 from a fellow Basschatter. I've done a little digging recently and it looks like it was a stock model from 2016. Used as my main bass in the function band I used to be in until that folded in late 2019.

 

I currently have a headless 6 string singlecut on order which I'm hoping will be with me in a few months. 

[Ash121987]

It's a few months later than originally planned but my Shuker 6 singlecut was completed last week. Just in time for xmas. 

 

Now I just need a 4-string to complete the Shuker trio.

OK, now that is damn tidy!

Congratulations dude!
