I cannot believe there are people posting here who have never heard of JJ nor heard the stranglers play!!!!!

Are you really all babes in arms or something?

I'm 39..... heard the name mentioned..... not a stranglers fan..... does he still play with them now? I supported the Stranglers a couple of years ago.... wonder if he was playing with them then?

Touring Australia with them as we speak. Yes, he would have been with them a couple of years ago-he's been their bass player since they formed in 1974 .

Hello all, my 1st posting on Basschat.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Shuker JJB1 last week, 8 months waiting list.
It's incredible, everything that his 70s Precision should have been, lighter with extra wound pick-ups for more growl.

1 thing I should mention is that JJ must have hands like shuvels, it's a seriously wide neck.

Another work of genious from Jon Shuker, it's a seriously well made bass.

Welcome-you lucky bugger! I'm fairly happy with my Fenders, but a Shuker JJ is one of the few I still lust after. Did you have any of your own mods, or is it fairly standard? You should know that it's a forum rule that pictures must be posted!

Hi there, welcome to Basschat and also to the Shuker owners club. there's a fair few of us here now ..
Please let me know if you ever want to sell the JJB
My Shuker P5 is a JJB with a few mods so I know exactly what you mean and yes, we do have hands like shovels

I know the Stranglers jumped on the punk bandwagon cos the first time I saw them was supporting AC/DC about 1975.

You don't know that. You just think it.

I think you'll find you're talking to yourself here as the ferret was banned from this forum a couple of years back!

It is the first sign of madness. I do it a lot. I suppose he was banned for daring to take the name of the Meninblack in vein?

I think they (Stranglers) have some very recognisable tracks, and lines, that define a sound of the era, along with the Jam, Skids etc, but I don't rate them myself, he wouldn't be in my top 30 bass players.
But its all a matter of taste........and many of you clearly don't have any!! Taxi!!

Don't Fender already do a JJB Signature Precision, but they called it the Roger Waters model, apart from the 50's vs 70's decal, isn't it the same? Black guard, black body, maple neck?
