Nice work! Cracking looking spec, you're building up quite the collection... Oh and congrats on the new job. Cheers, Eude

Hey guys, just dropping another wee note to say my band will be playing again on the 20th of December. This time we'll be supported by singer/songwriter Gavin Taylor and by The Fusiliers, who'll be treating us to a semi-acoustic set. Same deal as before, £4 in, doors at 7:00 and I think we'll be on about 10:00. Maybe see some of you there... Cheers, Eude

You got PM!

Awesome looking spec dude. Jon does make a lovely Jazz Bass. Brewing up something similar myself at the moment... Looking forward to seeing this one develop, reckon the ebony head veneer is gonna be sweet! Cheers, Eude

Sounds good to me bud. Looking forward to seeing this baby come together... Cheers, Eude

Hey bud, just to let you know, I went for a 33" on my recent custom, as I have big hands with wee fingers, and it's been great! It's a 6 string and the low B on it is fine too! I reckon you could go to 32" for a 4 string without noticing too much of a difference in tension and tone. Shorter scale basses tend to sound a bit plummier, i.e. less defined on the lower notes but have a much sweeter sounding upper register, something like a nice Jazz Guitar... Reckon 32" would be the one to go for, however, probably a good idea to maybe try and find a 32" and give it a go before you start cutting into the walnut. On the one piece neck thing, I don't know much about construction of basses, but I'd maybe use some kind of reinforcement, graphite, or steel rods or something, just as a precautionary measure... Good luck! Eude

Holy Moly! I didn't realise Bacchaus did single cuts! Where'd you find that Ped, what does it cost? Eude

Bloody Hell Si! You are one lucky "OldGit" That's a very very sexy bass. When I get geared up, probably end of Jan/early Feb for my next go, I'll be popping down to see Jon, with bass in tow. How about we try and organise some kind of BassChat Shukerite gathering... Assuming Jon'll put up with us all! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Rich' post='95564' date='Nov 28 2007, 12:23 PM']Bugger off, I saw it first [/quote] Don't worry bud, was just an impulse reaction, I've got very different plans for the next one. It's going to be called "pub bass". I reckon that single cut would be a little bit too boutique to fit the requirements... Cheers, Eude

Nice work bud, that bass is looking great! How'd you tweak the neck in the end? Cheers, Eude

[quote name='OldGit' post='95547' date='Nov 28 2007, 11:54 AM']There you go Eude, Rich and the Jon Shuker stock Single Cut[/quote] Now that's one sexy bass! Must not reach for credit card.... Thanks Si. Anyone got pics of the headless single cut 4? Eude

[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='95533' date='Nov 28 2007, 11:24 AM']I'm pretty sure the headless single cut (4 string) was sold by bassday at least.[/quote] Anyone get any piccies? Eude

Anyone got any pics of this elusive Single Cut? I don't think I've seen it yet. Jon mentioned in an email a while ago that he was doing a bolt-on headless single cut! Geez I'm drooling just typing this.... Eude

[quote name='OldGit' post='95498' date='Nov 28 2007, 10:03 AM']Ha ha I was very, very much more happy than it appears in the pictures .. It's just embarrassment at not having any circus bass abilities or a party piece to play in such skilled company, Mark and Rich and Rob (who helps Jon) are all great players whereas I'm a bit more of a root-fifth player.. Speaking of which, time for some more playing, well maybe I'll just sit and look at it for a few more minutes [/quote] Look at it through a lens dude! We need more pics! (p.s. might have some exciting Shuker based news myself very soon, )

Congrats Si! That's one gorgeous bass there! But cheer up bud... That's you got 2 now! Eude

Wow, that's a pretty crazy spec for your bass dude! This is going to be something special! Cheers, Eude

You can spec up a Status Smart Bass with passive electronics on www.status-graphite.com in the Online Shop section, Comes in at £760 with a single P pickup, an ash body and chrome hardware. More pickups and other stuff puts the price up though... Just a thought though, Eude

Hi guys, Just a quick note. My band Ten Storeys High are starting a new monthly residency called "Ten Storeys High & Friends" tonight in the Voodoo Rooms, 19a West Register Street, Edinburgh above Cafe Royal. The deal is, we play every month and get different bands in each time, either they support us or we support them depending on who's the bigger fish. Anyway, if anyone's at a loose end tonight here's the details... Doors at 7:00 pm [b]Torpedo Buoy at 8:30 pm[/b] very cool/weird stuff using looping, trumpet, acoustic guitar, musical saw with bossanova influences... (www.myspace.com/torpedobuoy) [b]Hoochie Fig at 9:15 pm[/b] Very talented and quirky acoustic duo, funny and heart warming songs, very nice guitar work too (www.myspace.com/hoochiefig) [b]Ten Storeys High at 10:00 pm[/b] My band, difficult one to describe, maybe "acoustic rock stylings"? Think Nick Cave meets Crosby Still and Nash meets the Buckleys meets The Waterboys meets Mercury Rev, I could go on, but I'm getting bored... The songs on our myspace page don't really represent the band properly, but a proper album's on the way... Oh and it's £4 at the door The next one will be Dec 20th If any Edinburgh based bands, or anyone willing to travel, would be interested in playing with us, give me a shout. Needs to be semi-acoustic stuff, or at least quiet, also being able to bring a wee rent-a-crowd is always good. We hate all this "pay to play" crap too, so we will split the door between the bands that have played and the ticket price will vary depending on the number of bands etc. The venue holds about 100, there's a proper PA and sound engineer. That's all folks, Eude

I find, to my ears anyway, that bolt-on basses have a quicker attack, which lends itself to more percussive sounds and slap stylings. Neck through basses tend to have a more organic slightly softer sound with a nice natural sustain. As I'm sure someone's already said, you can mess with these qualities by choosing certain types of woods etc. I prefer bolt-on's sound wise, and they're cheaper Just my 2p, Eude

Lovin' those Browne basses, and this thread in general. Really like basses that are a bit different... Check out this loverly example of Mike Browne's work, a 36" 6 string fretless >> [attachment=3674:06fullfront.jpg] Go knows what that'd cost... Eude

Fantastic looking bass dude! Congratulations! Eude
