Here are more photo's of "Blondie" thanks to Tinman, cheers mate. The Leds are going to be 3 way switchable, Off, Low and er Full Beam ! Really nice photo from above as well, I can't wait until she's finished. We are giging every weekend now, so when the Bass is done she will be gigged straight away. Woo Hoo !!!! As you will have all gathered by now, I'm sh*te at downloading photos, a million pardons. [attachment=307:LEDS_side.JPG] [attachment=308:Leds_2.JPG] [attachment=309:Body_Top.JPG]

[quote name='dood' post='6930' date='May 26 2007, 12:16 AM']I have a particular interest in Johns buid diary. I hope you don't mind John, but you are helping me get ideas together for a Shuker headless! I'm getting a plan together, but I wont be starting until my Elite 6 has been despatched in a month or 2. I think I'll go for a singlecut headless, as per the designs I posted on ..well.. was it bassworld? it was sooo long ago!! The pictures are looking great. This bass is gonna be a cool one![/quote] Dood, it was you that got me going on the idea of having a Shuker made in the first place after letting me loose on "The Doodle", I like to see build threads so much, its great to pool all the ideas together from everyone to make up your dream Bass. x

I can't wait for the ban to come into effect in England. I don't mind people smoking at all, as long as they try to keep it to themselves. But I'm tired of playing every weekend and coming home and having me and all my gear stink of fags, including my speaker cabs and even the bloody guitar strap. Plus our vocalist even puffs on cigars during set up and sound check, which is even worse !

[quote name='RichBowman' post='4658' date='May 22 2007, 09:27 PM']Looking good - Was this the neck I took a picture of a while back? on the left hand side? I'm interested in the different positioning of the graphite rods with the two necks. Anyway, looking great - I was the same with mine towards the end, I kind of wanted a surprise when I went to collect it! Good luck! Rich[/quote] Rich Yes thats the one. I went on holiday, came back, and the build had come on leaps and bounds. The build thread has not been as detailed as I had hoped. So I recon the next lot of photos will be when its done. Unless fellow Basschatters go to Jon's and take and post photo's

[quote name='Tinman' post='4270' date='May 22 2007, 12:59 PM']Did you want me to take some photos of the progress for you? If so PM me with your details and I'll get some when I go to see Jon on Saturday.[/quote] Tinman, many thanks, but I recon the next time I want to see it, it will be when its finished.

This thread was started on Bassworld, continued on Basstalk and is now on here ! The spec is Bassically this (no pun) 6 string headless Quilted maple top in high gloss finish ( Jon says the finish will be that good it will seem you can put your hand in it ! ) 5 piece maple thru neck with maple birdeye fingerboard. White ash body. Black veneer between top and body and neck and body sides. Black AMB Headless system with monorail tuners. EMG 45P and 45 TW Pups Shuker 3 band board Red Side LEDS As for the scale, I'm taking in my Status Eclipse Graphite neck six string for John to base the neck on that, don't ask me the scale as I havent got a clue, I only play it ! I'm in no great hurry to have it finished, I've just told Jon to take his time with it.
