woolf Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) EDIT - Back up for sale. For a short period earlier in the year, it was on hold, then off hold, then I decided to keep it fearing remorse. This is my Shuker Series One Elite Bass. Absolutely gorgeous custom made instrument in excellent condition. Very little fret wear. Setup with med-low action. Spec: Body - Wenge with quilted maple facings Neck - Wenge and flamed maple Fretboard - Rosewood Nut width - 42mm (P-bass) Neck-shape - C type Tuning machines - Gotoh Bridge - Schaller Pickups - EMG-HZ Switch for hum bucking / single coil. 3 band 18v active preamp - The preamp is Jon Shukers own first generation one, so handmade with small trimmer on the circuit board for adjustable input gain to the preamp, if you use a lot of boost then best to keep it low to avoid any distortion. There is also an adjustable pot in the cavity which controls the frequency that the mid boost/cut works at, its quite a useful addition as it does change the character of the sound quite a bit when you use the mid control. Weight - 4.35 KG Comes with a Hiscox hard case. Happy to post within the UK and discuss options for this. Open to trades, ideally with some cash in my direction. Any questions, please ask. EDIT - price drop to £1200 Feedback: Edited November 16, 2023 by woolf Back up for sale / weight added / Trades 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrected 🤣🤣 I believe John Shuker is the Mr Kipling of the bass world as he makes exceedingly good basses. This one looks beautiful and I too wish it was a 5er.

woolf Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 I’ve made a little video to demo the bass as I’ve had a few questions re: how it sounds. Unfortunately this is a very lo-fi recording using an iPhone but hopefully you get some impression… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
