aldude Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) [b]Now £[s]950[/s] 850![/b] For sale, my precious Shuker Jazz 4. I can barely let this one go, but it's being criminally underused at the moment. One of the finest basses I have ever owned, with a slim, fast neck. The quality of this bass is unbelievable. I got this from this very forum a few years ago and have since changed it from passive to a John East J-retro for fantastic versatility. No other changes have been made. The photos don't really do this fantastic bass justice, and the only bass I have ever owned that people regularly come up to me after gigs to say how great it looks! There is added mojo on the headstock at no extra cost, which I've tried to show in the pictures. The body has some very minor marks here and there but nothing that has penetrated the paintwork. It's in fantastic condition. There is one small crack in the body wood underneath where the neck joins the body, again shown in the pictures. However this is purely cosmetic and does not affect playability or the joint strength. I love this bass. I'm selling because as I said above it doesn't get much use over my other amazing jazz, and I need funds to put towards my (probably ill-advised) return the the world of 5-string. I will miss it dearly and would love for it to go to a loving home. I'm now sorted for a bongo so it's sale only!! Get the photos here!!

Get yourself an amazing jazz in time for Christmas Edited February 7, 2017 by aldude
aldude Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 After some highly scientific tests using my kitchen scales, it's 4.2 kg / 9lb3oz approx!
aldude Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 Bump! It doesn't seem that heavy to me (and I'm a bit obsessed about light basses!).
aldude Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Up it goes! Some interesting trade offers, thanks for those, but I'm holding out for a Bongo 5!
aldude Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Now I have my bongo so looking for a straight sale now thanks!!
cocco Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Ahhhhhh my man cave is black and orange, this would fit in nicely.
aldude Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 As for shipping, I have never shipped a bass before, but I'd be happy to do it for anyone who wanted to arrange their own fully insured courier. I don't have a hard case to ship it in, but I have a cardboard box and will pack it well.
aldude Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 Bump for a bit of a price reduction! Offers considered, as this needs to go to fill the Bongo-shaped hole in my finances!
chuck_stones Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Very nice example of John's work. Having owned and foolishly parted ways with a Shuker I can vouch for how awesome they are; this is a great deal for a beautifully crafted custom bass. Someone will be very happy with that beast; looks like a beaut too! Oddly, of all the many basses I've had, the Shuker is the only one my band mates ever settled on, sound wise.
aldude Posted November 24, 2016 Author Posted November 24, 2016 This is still here, and I've reduced it a bit more! This is an amazing bass, top notch quality and sounds the business (or should that be bassiness?) /gets coat
aldude Posted November 24, 2016 Author Posted November 24, 2016 It is amazing!!! One of the finest basses I have ever owned, and I would keep it if there was not now a bongo-shaped hole in my finances!!
