NBD: A Shuker precision :-)

[bremen]

 

I knew this would be nice to play and would look lovely, but I wasn't prepared for the monstrous sound to come out of it! I have various instruments, each of which has some good qualities but also some failings. This is just huge. Everything's there.  I'm lost for words. It's a DiMarzio Billy Sheehan pickup. A Relentless, I think.

 

I went to see The Raven of this parish, hoping to buy his Shuker PJ. I played it, liked it (though I was really looking for a passive P but of course it also works passive and it's not obligatory to use the J pickup) and was about to hand over the cash when, being a nosey sod, I said -what's in that other case? -oh, that's another Shuker, here, have a look. -I'll take it. -Done.

 

Pleasure doing business with you. Might still have to go back for the PJ, mind.

That looks awesome 

[Reggaebass]

Very cool 

[cocco]

Wow that's lovely and I can imagine how good it is.

 

I have a Shuker neck on a P bass partscaster that he also assembled and set up. Absolutely sublime instrument. 

[bremen]

I still can't get over how BIG it sounds compared to anything else I've played

Oh wow, that neck is amazing. Same reaction that I had to @cocco's P!!

[Hellzero]

😲 That neck! 😍

Likewise, his necks are works of art 👍

I've got a Shuker carved neck on my #1 P bass. Long story and a little polemico but it's an absolute peach.

We don't talk about it because it'll probably upset the NYC bass mafia.

We really enjoyed your visit and are so pleased you like your Shuker! They always sound great!

I have one complete Shuker, one Shuker body with a Firecreek neck and one Shuker body with a Goodfellow neck. They are all sorts of right. I am waiting to find a date that he is doing a set up course that I can go to.

Oh! Jon sets up my Bernie wonderfully. Two great luthiers. The OP's 'P' looks great! Would love to hear it.

I'll be operating it at Cable festival in Stoke on Saturday. All four strings will be deployed.
