Price reduced £400 Shuker Short Scale Custom/Parts Jaguar 30.25" - *SOLD* £450 Gloucester

[Evil Undead]

Very reluctant sale as I love this bass, but I only need one these days and my other one gets slightly more play time.

 

I've had this since it was built in 2015, it is parts so I'll list what it's made up of and the cost of those parts

 

Body, control plate, knobs, pickguard, and neck plate are from the very popular squier short scale jaguar, was about £220 for the original bass, so say about £120 for those bits

 

Neck is made by the brilliant luthier Jon Shuker and was about £350, excellent quality neck, most stable of any bass I've owned, perfect fretwork, great finish, and Jon made a nice brass nut for it.

 

It's got carbon fibre reinforcement rods, and dual action truss rod that's fully working and very smooth. 50 year old Indian rosewood fretboard. Truss adjustment is at the heel like an old Fender. 

 

Schaller lightweight tuners were £90

 

DiMarzio model p and j pickups were £90

 

Wiring and pots were installed by Jon Shuker, don't know what brand he used

 

Gotoh 201 bridge was £35

 

It's got Dunlop strap lock buttons installed.

 

Strung with new D'Addario nickel rounds 40 60 75 100, and I also have two or three spare sets that I'll throw in for free.

 

Scale length is 30.25", action is low and it practically plays itself.

 

The neck dive normally present on this style of bass has been very much reduced by the scale length and bridge/tuner mods, it's not completely gone, but with a good strap it's absolutely not noticeable.

 

Total cost was £685 so £450 seems like a fair price. 

 

No case so meet up preferred - Gloucester area but can travel up to an hour away

 

EDIT: Just been asked about the weight, I should have added that originally 😅 it weighs bang on 7lbs

 

EDIT2 - at the out of hours vets with a great big bill, lowering price to help shift this bass

 

EDIT3 - now sold, thanks

A very cool little bass and that neck looks lovely - nice pickup choice too IMO

A very tasteful custom build, I really like that! GLWTS.

I really shouldn't,... but I'm interested in this fine looking bass. What is the neck like please, nut width, & is it a thin jazz style or not? Cheers

Hello, sorry for the delay, have only just remembered to take a lunch break 😅

 

It's 38mm nut, nice and slim.  I've taken pics for you of nut measurement, depth at 1st fret, and depth at 12th fret
