Yes... it's ANOTHER Shuker!

[Bigwan]

Hi guys,

Haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but will do tonight. Suffice to say that Jon Shuker is a genius. This thing is exactly what I wanted. Sounds awesome and plays even better.

I'm already planning number 2 - one I won't be afraid to take out of the house!

Cheers

Ian

Nice one Bigwan, can't wait to see the pics!
I feel exactly the same about taking my single cut out, which is why I commissioned what I've called my "Pub Bass"...

Cheers,

ooooh the antic..........................pation!

Firstly, apologies that these are terrible mobile phone camera pictures, but since I'm about the worst photographer on the planet that doesn't really make that much difference!

Here she is in all her LED, wenge and maple (birdseye and quilted) glory! Enjoy

Also apologies they're all the wrong way up...

there's lovely! I think mine might look fairly similar in terms of finish.

[OldGit]

oooh Gorgeous!

Lets hear it for dark bodies and plain (er I mean dot-free) maple boards!

very very nice, love that combo of the maple on the wenge.....bet all that waiting now seems like a distant memory?

[BigRedX]

That is nice!

And good to see a bass where the back of the neck matches the body colour!

Although my recent bout of tennis elbow is sarting to hamper me a little...

[Merton]

Yes... of course.



















If you give me lots of money....

[eude]

Awesome dude.
Is the wenge doing what it said on the tin?
I mean growl-wise by the way...

Oh and what body depth did you go for in the end and how's it feel compared to a beefier bass?

Cheers dude and congrats!

+1, Indeed, it would be interesting to hear if it does the growl you were after.

And congratulations on a fabulous bass. Loving the chocolatey-ness of the whole package.

Cheers for the comments guys. She is an absolute beauty.

It does growl quite a bit - as much as my wenge necked Warwick Corvette does anyway, but I can get the same sound with a lighter touch on the Shuker. Don't have to dig in as much. Can't dig in too much anyway because of the ramp, which is an absolute revelation by the way.

Jons neck finish is fantastic. The neck looks like a Warwick, but feels satin smooth. Very nice. Still trying to find my way around as it's my first sixer!
