Joebethell Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) So after a short trip south of my home county of Staffordshire yesterday I have come back with a stunning Bass. I set off with the intention of only doing the the deal if the bass was right as as my hard earned and othe basses would all have to go to afford the bass. So what is it? Well if you spotted my recent post you may well have guess it's made by a Mr Jon Shuker. To be more precise it's a 33" scale 5string buckeye burl single cut. It had a 28fret ebony board, 3band eq with a Mid sweep and more growl on the rear pickup than I thought possible. I will take some better photos when I get chance as the level of finish is incredible it's up there if not better than some high end basses I have owned before. I am over the moon with the bass having given it a good play last night at its first gig all the band commented on how good it sounded which is a first and if I had not been stuck at work today it would not have been put down.

Joebethell Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Have got to playing this a bit more over the last few days and it's getting better and better as I get more acustom to it. The bass has a really nice Low action and the main thing I have had to get used to is the ramp as its my first time with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 On paper, I hate everything about that bass. Too many strings, coffee table top, single cut, weird ramp thing between the pickups... In reality, that's absolutely fantastic. Wow. Great work.
