CHARLIE-BROWNE

hi there did you sell this please ?

Hi do you still have this and does it have a gig bag or case thanks

[ Hi all Lots of requests via PM and on here for a price and whereabouts in the world I am so........ I am in North East Lincolnshire not a million miles away from Grimsby so can get to various service stations in Doncaster Leeds Sheffield Hull and so forth with ease Price wise I am thinking of pitching at £799 and see where we go from there - new Shukers in this style are between £1400-£1600 and there is one on the site at present for £2500 I may just may consider a 6 string trade but it would have to be a nice one and a good deal as I need some cash out of the deal or there is no point selling it!

Here is some more tech spec from an email I have found from the original and first owner>>>>>>>>>> Hi I found the original spec, which is below detailed below it doesn't mention the Villex boost gizmo. The Lowinder pickups are on his web site, they are the Fat Jazz type,I believe Lowinder are an off shoot of Bare knuckle pick ups, who are an English company down Devon way I think, he is a distributor, they are certainly very punchy. Shuker Spec. from his email 4 string J bass 34" scale 20 fret maple neck maple board black block inlays black side dots medium frets polyurethane lacquer two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement bone nut gotoh tuners swamp ash body polyester basecoat gloss topcoat black scratchplate Lowwinder pickups chrome hardware gotoh bridge ..................................................................

Hi all I am a rhythm guitarist and last year dipped my toe into the bass scene as fancied a crossover opportunity - I have enjoyed it but now find myself back in the rhythm guitarist slot in the band line up - as such I am not playing 'da bass' these days so tentatively wondering whether I should keep hold of the basses I have. One is a Fender Plyte in mint condition which,as a female is probably more suitable for me (if not such a good quality instrument admittedly) so I think I will hang on to that. The other is this Shuker bass that I bought last year from a really helpful, nice, knowledegable player who was having another Shuker built so found this one surplus to requirements It is almost mint with just a little pick guard swirling and pick marking; I can hardly find a mark anywhere else Best to take a look at the pics....... Its nice isnt it!? I am wondering what its worth and am not desparate to sell; however I AM a realist and know a) how much these are to buy new and that folk are a little cashstrapped these days so am prepared to be sensible but not in a desparate kind of way as I know these are sought after instruments Anyway Enough from me - here she is.... any other info give me a holler! or any offers then reply here or PM me whichever you prefer!

I bought this neck with a view to converting a fretless - the company then sent me a second one so I had two necks and one bass - so the first neck was snapped up on this forum at Christmas time In the intervening period I came acrsoss a Shuker bass with maple neck and black block neck and this is now my weapon of choice and I sold the fretless Sooooooo....have the original unused maple and black block marker neck for sale - as you know these retail out at over £350 so am asking for £199 ONO Will also throw in some Fender decals if you wanted to dress it up

in my quest for a white bass with a black block neck I ordered an Allparts neck from the states and they sent me two! I agreed with the seller to see if I could sell it rather than us incur the cost of posting back So here is an unused Allparts black markered maple jazz bass neck as here - will fit Fender Jazz bass guitar bodies >>>>> [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/allparts-guitar-amp-parts/necks/bass-necks-c-277_1_122_124.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/all..._1_122_124.html[/url] RRP £321 selling for £199 including postage and some Fender decals if you wanted to badge it up thanks

[quote name='CHARLIE-BROWNE' post='1011218' date='Nov 3 2010, 07:07 PM']Just to add some more info as requested - it weights about 9.5 lb on my reasonably accurate scales - cheers[/quote] bump new price/offer

[quote name='CHARLIE-BROWNE' post='1010308' date='Nov 3 2010, 06:52 AM']Yes its not a sparkly gold at all is it but according to the nice peeps at Fender, shoreline gold it is - thanks [/quote] Just to add some more info as requested - it weights about 9.5 lb on my reasonably accurate scales - cheers

[quote name='Shambo' post='1010084' date='Nov 2 2010, 09:46 PM']I've always thought it more like a metallic beige but yes that's shoreline gold. I've got one that could be its maple boarded twin.[/quote] Yes its not a sparkly gold at all is it but according to the nice peeps at Fender, shoreline gold it is - thanks

So ! Thanks to Dr Dave (Fab Oly white JB) and Donny Boy (white precision lyte) I have now the two basses I wanted and now need to ruddy well crack on and learn to play em properly or at least equivalent to my electric (shouldnt be too difficult then!) An earlier acquisition is now sat looking at me and is a great player but how sensible it is to have this much cash tied up? It is gorgeous and the previous owner was a cracking player who has set it up exquisitely! So here we have 1 - Shoreline gold USA Fender Jazz Bass 2 - With Fender original hard case 3 - Fender Custom shop 60s pick ups 5 - Features S1 switching 6 - 2006 Anniversary medal in headstock 7 - all in virtually mint condition looking for around £625 - may consider a cheaper PX so as to ease the deal if its a nice one! Send me a message if I can help any further with info and whatnot or if any more pics needed

[quote name='Klinta' post='979548' date='Oct 6 2010, 04:15 PM']Ok great! I could be interested in buying the bass as is. J-neck and P -77 body for the price you are asking... Just so you know[/quote] hi could well be interested too but cant figure the price of the blocked neck and the natural body? or if preferred could you PM me the price? thanks

I have several neck discs out of line and loose ( and screws apparently !)and cant play anything too heavy hence looking out for something light and with a jazz neck as am female and slim with wee mitts; so if i sell my P bass I may come back to you - its a shame though you have to consider giving it up - I do get some relief from taking glucosamine which apparently helps joints and skeletal problems (dont sue me am not a doctor!) it seems to work for me - gotta be worth a try? anyway - good luck with the sale if thats where you end up ......

NEW PRICE AND WILL INCLUDE POSTAGE IN MAINLAND UK! <sorry caps lock on shhhhh>

[quote name='Johnston' post='976328' date='Oct 3 2010, 07:30 PM']Just been noseing at Ishibashi and found this [/quote] yeh thats cool - better if it was 30+ years old though

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='976160' date='Oct 3 2010, 05:10 PM']fender mustang bass with the competition stripes might be a good shortscale bass replacement for that mean lookin bass of yours. yours reminds me of a very mean Ford Mustang fastback, don't know why....cool lookin bass tho, good luck with sale[/quote] I agree and indeed is on hitlist - but ideally looking for someone who will trade - would love a blue one or a white one ......... and also an old one as they seem to have more soul generally

[quote name='gafbass02' post='975713' date='Oct 3 2010, 09:07 AM']Heh heh blue one is never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna happen ;-D the White one coming up for sale is a sign my life just went VERY wrong lol. I got the stripes off eBay, damned if I can recall where though. Edit: there's loads of pics of it in it's various guises over the years here: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34605698@N04/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/34605698@N04/[/url] I'm lovin that p bass, lushness![/quote] dont gloat its not becoming ! they are really really cool basses love the pale block fingerboard

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='975517' date='Oct 2 2010, 11:07 PM']They are Gaf's but I know he would never get rid of the blue one and if he did you are 2 years behind me in the queue [/quote] lol fair enough - I bow to your first in the queue-ness Im sure something will come along - as a 'switcher' from 6 string it would probably be wasted on me until i got some speed up on the 4 stringer

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='975494' date='Oct 2 2010, 10:28 PM']I've been after one of these for years [url="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:dAlz3OQ8iLJqWM:http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/51/511241.jpg&t=1"]http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:dAlz3OQ...241.jpg&t=1[/url][/quote] thanks for the confirmation of limited edition-ness! I was told this when I bought it so all seems to 'triangulate' ! I want either of those two MIJs in the photo above - who owns them and are they up for trade!! :)one of my lectrics is a sonic blue 60s Jag so would match a treat!

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='974946' date='Oct 2 2010, 01:06 PM']Nice bass Charlie.(you should have lucy/snoopy as your avatar tho' ) I f I were you,I'd consider purchasing a short scale bass (bronco,les paul etc.) or even a headless if you're finding the bass a little on the big side. Good luck with the sale[/quote] looking for suitable avatar as i speak lol

[quote name='Hutton' post='974865' date='Oct 2 2010, 11:59 AM']Do you know if the stripes are original? Are they painted on? They look as if they may be car stripes added on by a previous owner.[/quote] hi no i thought that too but when you feel the stripes they are most def UNDER the laquer and yes it goes much faster because of them

Hi all I traded an electric for a 2001 USA Fender P bass with competition stripe some time ago but realised that a P Bass is a bit chunky for my female teeny mitts - I am also advised by your knowledgable bass-chatters that it is quite a rare thing (any further info gratefully received); condition wise its really good - there are a few dark marks here and there on the body which may be contact marks or at worse case finish imprefections but really nothing to get too exctited about unless you are looking for a mint piece So on the sad basis that it is not sensible to just keep £s tied up in guitars I have no prospect of playing I am sending out this feeler as to anyone that may be interested in buying and possible sensible values - I was thinking around £650 .....NOW £625 POSTAGE INCLUDED - I may consider a trade for a jazz type bass with blocks and ideally a white body but will consider what you have ! Think this is a great forum and there is a whole lot of knowledge in the combined brain power of the members so over to you all! cheers

[quote name='daveybass' post='972141' date='Sep 29 2010, 10:10 PM']Some people loves Squiers on here, I'm playing a CV Jazz wth flatwounds on and I absolutely love it..a knife through butter! There are a few Squiers which will easily give Fender MIM's a run for their money. Think the best advice is to go and try some ! Good luck with the search Dave[/quote] thanks Dave - I did and still have a precision competition stripe USA but its a bit too chunky and heavy for me so I need to operate a one in one out rule !
