Sorry for the delay in updating the thread. The bass finally arrived in mid December and it has taken me this long to put it down and get to a keyboard. Here are a few pictures and there are more pictures with a full review of the bass on my blog (http://tiernangodel.co.uk/shuker-jazz-bass/) It is another stunning example of Mr Shukers workmanship and it plays fantastically!!

Very nice mate...I'll bet you can't put it down!! I hope it's everything you wanted

So...I just had a chat with Jon and it looks like I should receive the bass by Thursday this week Here's a cheeky picture he sent as a taster and to check some final details. [attachment=150166:Control layout 2.jpg] If I said I am excited it's probably an understatement in the extreme!!

Great job Dude!!! I love the whole bass - from conception to the finished bass!! That Lion scratch-plate is particularly special
-
I've been watching the progress on this and can't wait to see it all come together!! The rotary control is really interesting...Are you having one control switching from Off-parallel-Series-single coil that effects both pickups? I had wanted to put a switch in my build like this but went with the 'both pickups Parallel-both pickups Single Coil' switch in the end. Maybe I could get it rewired at some point... Sounds like a really versatile bass you've got coming there

Thanks guys...Just added a new close-up picture showing back of the neck... I'd not thought of the similarity to the SR5...I put together my favorite aspects of each Shuker I owned and then added a few extra things...this was the result. Fingers crossed it turns out as well as I hope!!

Having had two previous basses built by Mr Shuker, I wanted to use the experience and knowledge I had gained from the previous builds to spec up my ultimate bass. The previous basses have been a Shuker series II which I have now sold (Here's a link to the build diary - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/31473-yes-its-another-shuker/page__hl__shuker"]http://basschat.co.u...age__hl__shuker[/url]) and my current number 1 bass, a set-neck Single-Cut bass (no build diary for this one unfortunately!). My reasons for ordering this bass are varied but primarily I wanted to have a bass of the same caliber as my SC bass in the form of a jazz bass. The spec on the new bass is here - 5 string custom jazz 34" scale 24 frets 17.5mm spacing at bridge nut width 45mm neck depth at 1st fret 20.5mm 12th 22.5mm 3 piece wenge - deep set neck macassar ebony board two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement MOP side dots small frets brass nut white headstock finish black shuker sig headstock 1, 4+1 with string trees Hipshot Ultra light tuners neck lacquer so the grain of the wood can still be felt j bass custom shape, deeper cutaway, extended horn ash body, multi chambered upper bout polyester bisect Olympic white colour nitro finish satin topcoat 1 x Tort [b]&[/b] 1 x Black s/plate (to be fitted first) chrome hardware rear rout control cavity hipshot A style bridge removable ramp – Black Ebony Kent Armstrong pickups - Dualcoils (with a radius) – Parallel / Single coil switch (With the wiring done so as to allow a switch to Series / Single coil if desired) 60' spacing (bridge pickup 1/2" nearer neck) John East pre, U retro BLI001 – Jon East battery life indicator side jack The bass was ordered mid September last year and I'm expecting it to be finished any day now so I thought I'd share the spec and various pictures with the Basschat community.

With any luck I'll get an email from him in the next few days and I can add some pictures of the finished bass. I'll update with any further developments..!

OOoo...It's getting closer!! I'm looking forward to seeing them...He's about 3 hours off finishing a jazz for me and I really can't wait.

FINISHED Shuker 5-string Buckeye Burl Singlecut
MrT-Bass replied to RichValentine's topic in Build Diaries
This is looking great...My set neck SC Shuker has become my number 1 bass for almost every gig. I'm pretty sure you'll love it. It'll be interesting to see this one 'come to life' -
