three Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Wow! I've had one of John's basses and it was just amazing - this one is on another level!
giblett123 Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Thank you for the kind words folks, she is a thing of beauty, dare I say it, even better in the flesh! There is a deal to be done here so feel free to ask!
giblett123 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 Morning all, £100 off the asking price to get things moving, a deal to be done here!
Risk101 Posted March 16, 2017 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
giblett123 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 Many thanks guys, they are lovely, lots of interest but no offers as of yet, someone could grab a bargain here!
giblett123 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Posted March 24, 2017 Another £100 off, I'm in danger of giving her away!!
giblett123 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Still here, make me an offer, you never know your luck!
giblett123 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 It is a beauty, plays fantastically and is practically new, a bargain for someone!
giblett123 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Posted April 5, 2017 Another £100 off... still beautiful, a lot of bass for this dosh!
jenzuwin Posted April 5, 2017 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.
Risk101 Posted April 6, 2017 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!
giblett123 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 Cheers for the kind words gents, she is a beauty, still available and I can cut someone a deal on this one....
Grangur Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 [quote name='desmondpot' timestamp='1492025292' post='3277335'] too flippin' right! Bargain. [/quote] Could you please edit the title to help the mods, and save me looking?
