  1. Yep amazingly Peted it's still for sale.😥 I have added a couple of photos - one of the fingerboard to show the ebony wood figuring and one one of the back of the neck to show the maple/ebony laminate strips. Jon Shuker certainly knows how to build basses. I've spent many years playing Wal basses so that is what i am comparing the fretless to and it is equal in build and sound quality. The custom wound Wizzard pickups have a great sound, bright but with weight.

  3. Now £850 Hi, i am looking to sell/trade this lovely Shuker fretless. I had it made for me by Jon Shuker, but i never really play fretless so it sits in a case in my studio. It is in excellent condition and a has a Shuker hiscox case. The bass has an ash body with a flame maple top - dark sunburst. 5 piece neck, 35 inches, 2 octave, with macasser ebony fretless board with side dots. 18mm string spacing (adjustable string spacing - Schaller 2000 bridge) and 48mm nut width. Two custom Wizzard humbuckers both coil tapped. Jon Shuker eq: vol, blend, bass, treble and a variable mid. Great fretless growl with a lot of eq options for the studio. Weight - 8.5lbs / 3.8kg The trades i would consider are Fender USA jazz., elite or deluxe (2010 onwards). I am based in North London if anyone wants to try the bass.
  4. Thanks, that looks interesting. I have seen that Mooer are making a 5w all valve head which might do the job. Not much eq on it though. http://www.mooeraudio.com/?product/201409195454.html
  5. Thanks for the info Bigwan. Yes the H&K pre had a similar sound to the SWR pre, both were excellent for a warm valve sound put in front of your amp or even to record with. I am surprised that H&K have never reissued the Bassmaster as a lot of people liked them. It had some great preset buttons for boosting the bass, mid, treble.
  6. Thanks, yes i've been looking for v type pre, they look good. I used to have a Hughes & Kettner Bassmaster pre years ago and that is exactly the sound i'm after. I did ask Dave Hall, but he said he was too busy working on new designs of his own.
  7. Hi, does anyone know who could build a custom valve preamp? Nothing too complicated: vol, gain, bass/treble/mid, maybe some boost switches for low end and high. But i would like a couple of valves to warm up the sound. Something similar to the Boogie Subway bass pre but with valves. Any ideas - anyone done this before? Thanks
  8. Hi, can anyone help on this? - i have a q-tron+ but when i use it, i have to have the gain almost completely down for the sweep to work. I'm using a Fender USA Jazz deluxe which has an active eq. The pedal sounds better when i play in passive mode on the Jazz, but if i turn the gain up even just to 7 o'clock the overload red led comes on and the sweep does nothing. Is there a way to trim the gain input or even a mod to sort this out? Thanks.
  9. [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Anyone ever had a chance to compare these two pickups? I'm playing in a garage rock/punk band and i'd like to replace the Fender N3's in my US deluxe jazz 5. The Delanos on youtube sound very clear and the quarter pounders seem to have a increased lower mids, but it's difficult to tell online? I mainly play using the bridge pickup and i'd like a bit more punch and get some more low end on the B string.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Thanks.[/size][/font][/color]

  11. Thanks for the replies, i like the idea of the barefaced and the vanderkley i'll have to check them out.
  12. Hi i sold a Mesa boogie 4x10 and i want to replace it with a couple of 2x10's, just so its easier to transport. I like the idea of Eden D210xlt/ xst cabs, but I've read that they break up when using a 5 string? Surely that cant be true? Any other 2x10's that people are using that sound good for low B? Btw. I'm using a Gk800rb head - 300w Thanks.
  13. Hi, does anyone know of a pickup maker in the UK who makes split coil jazz pickups for a 5 string Fender?

  15. I had a [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nordstrand NP5 in a Shuker pj 5 string and they had an excellent sound. Nice and clear with a good low end for the B string.[/font]
