Johnebass Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) [font="Tahoma"]I have for sale my spare Jon Shuker 5 string bass. I already have a Shuker 5 string thru-neck which I use all of the time and I cannot justify keeping this one sat at home collecting dust, plus all my other basses and amps (most of which you will see for sale shortly) Anyway, back to this bass, as I said its a 5 string bolt-on neck with Seymour Duncan Basslines pickups and 18v electronics and it plays like a dream. I am looking for £900 ono and would be prepared to meet any buyer between my home (Bristol) and their home town, within reason. The full spec is as follows: [b]Neck[/b] 34 " scale 24 frets maple/wenge laminated neck two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement matching head veneer birdseye maple board Jumbo frets Black side dots Black face dots [b]Body[/b] Swamp Ash body Mallee burr drop top Polyester basecoat Wet look gloss topcoat [b]Pickups[/b] Seymour Duncan alnico MM pickup Seymour Duncan 5 string J pickup hot [b]Electronics[/b] Shuker custom 18v electronics [b]Hardware[/b] Gotoh GB707 tuners Individual bridge units All black hardware This is an absolutely clean bass that could be in you hands before Christmas. The pictures are not brilliant as they were taken indoor in bad light but if you mail me I will send anyone that wants them some better ones which I will take in the daylight John[/font] [attachment=3897:DSC01316.JPG][attachment=3896:DSC01314.JPG][attachment=3895:DSC01312.JPG] [attachment=3900:DSC01320.JPG][attachment=3901:DSC01321.JPG][attachment=3899:DSC01319.JPG] [attachment=3898:DSC01317.JPG] Edited February 19, 2008 by Johnebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnebass Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok, as promised I managed to find a short spot between the rain storms to take some pictures outside which should show the bass in a better light. Price also reduced to £850 for quick sale.
