Sibob Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I've got it on Gumtree too, not on eBay. Although there's another very similar build for sale on here, so could be that one Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebethell Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's a cracking bass! I no longer have the need for a 5 or I would have considered getting it back. Who ever buys this will be very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm really surprised this hasn't sold - SCs and 5s aren't for everybody but I think this looks beautiful. The spec is amazing and the detailing looks just stunning. I wasn't sure about Shukers until I got hold of one on a whim - every aspect was truly superb - certainly as good as every other top-end UK bass I've played (and that really is a lot). I had a Fodera MG5 too (the obvious inspiration behind this Shuker) and can't imagine that Jon's creation would be inferior in any way. I wish I could engineer a need for this - I'd have absolutely no hesitation. In terms of value for money, to me at least this has to be one of BC's major bargains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
