soggs Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Need to move this bass on now, I've had it on for sale before, but decided not to sell it, as I didn't need to then. This bass is a beauty, John Shuker made it for me 5 years ago, the elites are still his most expensive basses, its a stunning bass, never been gigged, lovingly looked after, its unmarked and in immaculate condition, weighs 8.5 lbs or 3.86 kg. Its a through neck wenge and flame maple with wenge and Quilted maple top and back. Gold Schaler hardware, Gotoh Tuners, EMG Soapbar pups and johns Electronics, has active passive switch, Fretboard slops into body and I had John curve the edges of the neck into the fretboard, so its really comfortable to play, Rosewood fretboard 24 fret, bookmatched covers on backplates and headstock, you can get most tones out of this bass, its a pleasure to play and everything about its top quality, comes with flight case I don't know what Johns charging for these nowadays, as he's become a lot more well known of late, I paid £2200 for it 5 years ago, can't believe these beautiful basses not fetching more money, need to move on wish i could keep it, letting it go now for£850, had it set up by another well known luthier a only few months ago, just put new set of strings on and two new 9v batterys so she's ready to go Edited April 24, 2010 by soggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
