Risk101 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm a big fan of Mr Shuker's work - outstanding English craftsmanship - I have a horn bass and it virtually plays itself (in fact it's better than me!!) 😜 GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenzuwin Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Also have to vouch for John's work. My main bass is a custom Shuker and I'm positive it will stay with me for life. Lovely piece of craftsmanship. For 1200 it's a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risk101 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 +1 to that - my very similar Shuker plays like butter (what does that mean exactly?😜). Beautifully put together both from a body/neck perspective and the electronics. If I didn't have one or order I'd be leaping at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
