[quote name='fftc' timestamp='1486030780' post='3228597'] They are both stunning! Prefer a maple board myself but how is the rosewood one shaping up? Any discernable difference? [/quote] They both feel amazing to play, am really looking forward to plugging them both in at our next practise so I can give it a proper trial, thus far it feels a teensy bit heavier and the strings (D'Addaire Chromes) are brand new so need to settle in as they're very bright compared to the well bedded in LaBella flats on Nr1

shortest build thread ever...I collected it yesterday, it's proper yummy!!! setting the action to be the same as my Nr1 Shuker [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rzu7E8][/url] bit of a dust prior to photographing [url=https://flic.kr/p/RGGXch][/url] this is where the website photography happens [url=https://flic.kr/p/RbN5kE][/url] ...what you really wanted to see [url=https://flic.kr/p/QtNT63][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/RGGWaY][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rzu6fe][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rzu69H][/url] ...and a family portrait [url=https://flic.kr/p/RLjbAH][/url]

Mark may appear to be a newbie but he's been around on here for a while (just quietly), he has done a couple of deals before but nobody left him feedback (the bu*gers!) so here it is, his feedback thread...TADA!!! Mark bought my fretless ray recently in a carefully considered deal, he paid what he promised when he promised and was exactly what you want from a buyer. Excellent chap, deal with confidence!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1486028102' post='3228575'] This is stunning. If you don't mind me asking, what was the total build time as an estimate? [/quote] Thanks matey, beauty ain't she As I recall, I pushed the button in December and received the completed bass in early April? Just had another built very similar and that one started November and I collected yesterday

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1484812409' post='3218584'] I second that emotion [/quote] She's a beaut in all respects, fo sho Her twin is being completed at the minute [url]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298739-shuker-p-bass-ii/[/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/RfnWVE][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/R8dL7a][/url]

Our live set is diversifying and a fretless is becoming very useful, tried it with my fretless ray but the sound is just too different from my Shuker Nr1 so I'm scoping out a fretless PJ to complement my Nr1 & Nr2 Shuker P basses...then I really am done...I think... Here's the top wood, Burr Elm rescued from the great Sheffield tree cull by a friend of Jons' [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rfu4SJ][/url] The body will be swamp ash again to keep the core sound similar to my fretted P basses. Seymour Duncan SPB-1 as per my other basses but adding an SJB-1b at the bridge so I can mix it in occasionally for that extra mid fretlessy-ness. Ebony fingerboard cos Jon has found a lovely piece of dark Ebony.

As my first Shuker P turned out rather spectacularly (http://basschat.co.uk/topic/276145-shuker-p-bass-78-clone/page__fromsearch__1) I managed to convince my lovely wife that a second one would be a good idea Teensy bit different this time, same finish, same hardware and electrics, body made from the same piece of swamp Ash but this time with a flamed white Ash droptop and a stained Sycamore pinstripe as well as a Rosewood fingerboard, I love a Rosewood board... this will be the veneer for the top [url=https://flic.kr/p/RfnxrA][/url] gonna use this bit [url=https://flic.kr/p/RiRDfK][/url] swamp ash for the body, from the same piece as my Nr1 [url=https://flic.kr/p/RfnxiE][/url] very lovely looking rosewood for the fingerboard [url=https://flic.kr/p/RiRDhi][/url] body shapes all cut and ready for carving/bending/glueing [url=https://flic.kr/p/Q59zaM][/url] neck underway [url=https://flic.kr/p/RfnxtE][/url] sneaky peek pre-carve commencement [url=https://flic.kr/p/Q59Ar4][/url] body carve started, chamfer done, top bent into shape and all glued up [url=https://flic.kr/p/RiRDhP][/url] body carve just about done, looking sweeeeeet!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1484646160' post='3217053'] oh god... I'm in love. THAT is just perfect. If it sounds and feels maybe 10% of how it looks, it would be a superb instrument... wow.
