Tait Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 The JJ Burnell... I've read the specs and stuff, but all in all its just a P Bass really isn't it? Please correct my if I'm wrong, but doesn't that cost a hell of a lot more than going out and buying a Fender P bass for pretty much the same? But on the other hand, it is a cool bass. JJ Burnell is an excellent bass player, too. I love the sound he has on Peaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that the Shuker version would be a darn sight better put together than your average Fender, even the USA ones, and I like the sound of the louder than usual overwound pickup. Most unlikely that I'll ever be buying one, but if I had a few spare quid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, an off the rack Fender and an 'off the rack' Shuker are 2 different beasts!
