eude Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, still not close to being decided on this. I just want to see if there might be any interested folks out there. I got this bass to use as my gigging instrument to save me worrying about my 6 string Shuker in and around seedier venues... I opted to go for something very different sound-wise to contrast nicely with my 6 string and provide me with a bigger tonal palette for recording, however my ear always leans back to a more grunty, low mid rangey, aggressive sound, ala MusicMan, and I can't really get anything close to that on this bass without relying heavily on the EQ of my amp. I am giving the bass one last chance however. I'm fitting an ACG preamp ASAP, this might fix the problem, however if it doesn't this bass will be up for sale, with or without the ACG preamp to fund another more suitable custom. I've also found that I'm missing my low B string a fair bit too, more than I thought I would Once again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bass at all, it's a brilliant instrument, but it's not quite meeting my needs. It's very lightweight, a breeze to play and provides a really nice range of warm, dark vintage tones, unfortunately I need something more modern, burpy and aggressive. It's in absolutely perfect condition, only a few months old and has only been gigged 3 times and would come with a Gator hard case. I will not be looking for trades, as I now know I need something very specific to me, so it's unlikely that anyone has anything suitable... Here's the spec >> Downsized J Bass shape, Slab Finished Black Walnut body with Black Wet Look Gloss finish and matching headstock 33" Scale 5 piece Mahogany/Wenge neck with graphite rods, 22 frets and Rosewood Fingerboard EMG JV pickups and electronics with vol /vol /tone control layout More pics here >> [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39571"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39571[/url] PM me if you're interested or have any questions.

eude Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Pic fixed now guys. Something had gone weird with my hosting. Jon, not totally set on selling yet, but it's a possibility. I just wish I was rich enough to shelve this bass for the right occasion, and orde something more suitable... Cheers, Eude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ah, this is a shame. Now, a 33" jazz 4 is exactly what I want - I'm loving my 33" Shuker 5. However, I just bought a Moon 4 and Edinburgh is quite far away...I shall watch this thread with interest. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do end up parting with the bass though, I am in London for the weekend a fair bit so I could meet there, or near there with the bass to let anyone try it out.

eude Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 OK guys, I had the ACG preamp installed in the Pub Bass and it's woken it up! The limitations of the vol/vol/tone controls have gone and I now have a bewildering range of options. As a result of this, this bass has been withdrawn from sale. Thanks for your interest though.

eude Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm afraid my Shuker J Bass is definitely for sale now. I've given it my best shot, the bass looks amazing, feels amazing but I'm just not getting on with the sound, I'm just not a Jazz Bass guy... I've spent a fair few nights and practices A/Bing my two Shukers and the Jazz has to go. Credit to Jon Shuker, he made me exactly what I asked for, I thought that having something to contrast with my 6er would've made sense, but I'm afraid there's a sound my ears need to hear, that compliments how I play and sits right in my band and it's just not a sound I can get out of a Jazz Bass. It's priced to move, and given the current lull in basses changing hands at the mo, I'm looking for [b]offers in the region £1000[/b] A fair bit less than it's worth plus it also has an ACG Preamp in there now too! NO trades please. I'll ship it at the buyer's expense in a Gator case. Feel free to PM me if have any questions.

Thankfully the pressures (nagging) of an upcoming wedding mean I can't be thinking about the Shuker night and day and so I can't drive myself mad waiting. Haha!
