OldGit Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Oh I'm a bit late to this one. Welcome to the Shuker P5 owner's club ... Your spec is [b]so[/b] different to mine Edited March 5, 2010 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I shall be paying the Master a visit next week. At last, I'll (hopefully) be able to have more photo's of its progress on this thread!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Somehow I also missed this one. It's looking good. I became a member of the Shuker P5 club a few months ago when I acquired "Alice", the PJ5 that OHM had made. In fact I'm playing it right now and wondering what it would be like with flats.

Born 2B Mild Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yay, I got to see it today, and here's some of my snaps! I asked Jon what sort of white it is, and the answer he gave was "just white". The top image of these three shows the white as it looks like in reality ...very bright white and very shiney. NB: There's still a protective layer of film on the scratchplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Classy.. White, maple/blocks and white perloid is such a good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Looking great and - based on previously owning a 4-string Shuker P (the JJB) - I bet it will be fabulous to play. Bet you can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born 2B Mild Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Still waiting. The delay is down to the EMG pup ...maybe because it's white and also 5-string, so not too common! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Shuker P5 was delayed by a few months waiting for the pickup to be made .. Worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
