Mike Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 8 years ago I made the silly decision to sell a bass I had custom made by Jon Shuker - a 33” red Jazz 5 with block inlays. I found a picture of it on the website and wondered if, by the power of the internet, I could either buy it back or at least know where it ended up! Can anyone help?! 😘 Quote
TheGreek Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Can't help with yours but I bought back my Overwater Custom Jazz after foolishly selling it.... We live and learn....or is it "stupid is as stupid does"? Edited June 2, 2018 by TheGreek Quote
edstraker123 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) I've foolishly parted with 3 Shuker basses searching for the holy grail- should have just stuck with the first one - it was probably the best bass I've ever owned. It's even worse when seeing them go for much more used than you paid for them new ! Edited June 2, 2018 by edstraker123 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Not been given much to go on,so I'll bite. 1 Did you sell it on here? 2. If so can you remember the buyers name? If not where they lived? 3. If not here, where did you sell it, private or to a shop? 4. Think you get my drift, as much info as possible will help😉 Quote
Mike Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Good point! Sold it through basschat to a guy called Will 8 years ago. Met him at South Mimms. I have dropped him an email today but nothing yet! Quote
yorks5stringer Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Not sure if you can still access your old PM's, but maybe speak to a Mod by PM? Quote
Linus27 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Good luck finding it. I know how you feel. I sold my Olympic White Precision on here a few years back and wished I hadn't. I know the serial so might start a thread like yours. Good luck. Quote

I can't believe I sold a bass I had custom made. Madness. Really hope I find it! Quote
Jono Bolton Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Similar story for me; I bought a bass from Clarky, who bought it from Old Horse Murphy, that I subsequently sold back to OHM, that I wish I hadn't. I often wonder where it is and if it's possible to try and track down. Quote
pete.young Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 At least you can get him to make you another one! 1 1 Quote

bubinga5 Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 I did the same 8 years ago. I tracked down the guy I sold it to on BC and he sold it back to me. YAY. 1 Quote

PURPOLARIS Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Ok guys, the Bass was sold to me, I traded it, I think for a Marcus Miller Jazz with a Status neck on here. I instantly regretted it as well but hey ho you live and you learn. So the connection we have now is Red Shuker Jazz Marcus Miller with Status neck 1 Quote
Mike Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Well it's not looking good, but I'll keep my fingers crossed! Quote

Kevin Dean Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 My first bass was a new 77 precision & I swapped it for a pair of Kudos pa speakers in 83 .. Why ? Quote
Owen Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Regrets..... I have a few...... I flogged my Sei J5. I often wonder where it went. Ho hum. Quote

Russ Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I've had a few regrets - first one was a pseudo-Sei, made from a Brandoni body, and fitted with a Bartolini MME pickup and a Kahler trem. That bass probably saved my life during some pretty low times back in the late 90s/early 00s. I foolishly sold it to Notting Hill Music Exchange about 16 years ago. The second one was another Sei - a 5-string fretless with Wal pickups and electronics. Sold it to a guy in Japan (who I think is a BC member) in 2005. I'm sure he loves it, but I miss it badly. The thing was amazing. Now I'm actually a proper grown-up with money, I'd buy either of them back in a heartbeat. Quote

fleabag Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I'd like to know where my original 84 Overwater Standard single pup is - huge mistake. This, but single pup and passive - very hard to even find a photo of one Quote
Mike Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 I should have got Jon to install a tracker when I had it built! Quote
