patch006 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Shuker Jazz 5 I can't remember the spec on this other than it plays/ looks and sounds great. Has blue LED fret markers 😍 Email from the man man himself! --- I’ve found the original spec from early 2010, I think the bass (and spec may have had a few changes) such as the rotary dimmer control and the zero fret change. The top is Mexican Para Kingwood burr and very rare.

leftybassman392 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Originally owned by @whynot of this parish (who might be able to give some detail on the spec), I had it for some time before selling it to @Bonin-in-the boneyard. It is a fantastically good instrument, well worth the asking price IMHO. Good luck with the sale Patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whynot Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi, just seen this. Yes was my bass and built as discussed with Jon S. Really can't think why I sold it on as a lovely sound and a pleasure to play. Probably too many basses at the time. The rotary dimmer and zero fret was original if I remember correctly.
