Hi all Needing to shift my Fives - incoming Shuker, dontcha know! This is a USA Fender Jazz 5. Black finish, white PG (but easily changeable, standard fit) with Rosewood board. It's a 1997 model. All sounds as it should, perfect jazz tone. Nice B string too. It's in really A1 condition - the only problem is a ding at the back which I've photographed. [b]Looking for £370 picked up. This doesn't include a case. I can include a Fitted Fender hard case for £395.[/b] No issues with the bass apart from the ding and regular slight crazed buckle rash on the back - just need to move some to make way for the Jazz 5 Jon is making me. Pics: Now I want to get this shifted, but I don't want to ship, so it's collection only from Chelmsford, Essex - I'm very close to the A12, which is off the M25. Basically, priority to people who can come and pickup asap. I can't wait for 3 weeks until you get paid holding the bass unfortunately! Thanks all! Regards Mike Oh, and trades? Extremely unlikely, but it never hurts to ask I suppose! Really just after the £££. -
Some sort of see-through finish, is it??
-
I think I love these. However, it's lucky it's not in the blue finish, or else I would be remortgaging the house instead of typing this! -
Hi all - finally, an up-to-date family picture! [b]Back L-R:[/b] Bassix Jazz EUB, Ken Smith BT6, Cort GB-75 [b]Front L-R:[/b] 1975 Fender Jazz, Shuker Custom Jazz 4, 1968 Fender Jazz (modded with EMG active pups & fretless lined ebony board - no, it wasn't me!), 1984 Ibanez Musician. This are the basses that I gig with, and get regular usage: 75 Jazz, Shuker, 69 Jazz, Ken Smith. I'm using the Cort to tide me over as Jon Shuker is building me a matching 5 string but in Red, with delano pickups, and macassar board & blocks (think a snazzy 66 Candy Apple Red Fender!) This is the pedalboard I use, should you be interested. Custom-made (by myself, a complete duffer at anything manly like DIY). This comprises: Sadowsky DI, Boss LMB3 Limiter, EBS Octabass octaver, Boss TU2 Tuner, Danelectro Autowah and a not-often used programmable Tech 21 Sansamp. I also use Markbass gear - a 1x12 combo, with a 2x10 extension. Regards Mike

Fender Jazz 5 USA? :-) -
Heck, yes, Kevin. They are very nice. A lot of people who don't want to fork out £2k for a Ken Smith rate these as an alternative. The BXP are the cheaper ones, these are USA built. All good here Jordan, cheers - good luck with the sale! You should post pics of your bass(es) in the Bass Porn section!
-
I'll leave the monitors for the time being, cheers! -
Hey Jordan...Same friend who bought my Peavey Cirrus 5? Hope all it well mate! Regards, Mike
-
In that case I may be interested in monitors - feel free to PM me a rough price if you like!
-
I hope that is Alex from the Gallery. Great guy.

Hi Alice - thanks for the offer, but this sold quite a while ago. I see I selfishly didn't change the title to reflect this. Sorry! Good luck buying one - if I see one I'll drop you a PM. Regards, Mike -
This surely isn't the famous and magnificent "guycee" of youtube fame....is it? -
Check out the Bass Merchant, in Witham, Essex. Changed hands recently but the previous owner Mike Walsh was a fab guy, I'm sure he's sold it to the right people.
-
Hi there - as soon as I saw the thread title, I was going to say " Speak to Mike @ Bass Merchant" because last time I was in he gave me the lowdown on them. After reading your post I see that's not necessary! Greetings from Chelmsford and a very satisfied customer of Mike!
-
Thanks for all your input - I went out and bought it, it's very nice. It's a Sienna Burst with the woodgrain visable. I'll post pics when I can!
-
It's a natural five string, but he's mentioned some sort of colourburst on there - so I'm a little confused. I'll see it in the next day or two and give it a play. Thanks for the speedy help, all!
-
Thanks for the input - it's the natural one, £150 with hard case. Seems like a decent deal. What's the neck like? In terms of width and playability?
-
Hi, I've seen a Cort GB75 for sale second hand. Just wondered if you guys had any experience with them? I see they're rated highly by some on Talkbass. Also, what do you think is a fair price for one second hand? Thanks, Mike
-
Brilliant. I see Todd was exceptionally complimentary about your playing over at Talkbass - way to go!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to hammer down the last few specs on a Shuker Jazz 5 Jon has already started to build me. My 4 string is SO magnificent, I'm having a 5 string matching one made - some changes in terms of pickups and colour but generally the same. Now, I've been researching 33" scale. Basically, I have pretty small hands! I do play a Smith 6 but it does feel very big to me. I sold a Yamaha TRB6P because it was so wide. Even a Warwick Streamer Stage I V was quite big. I've noted that a lot of big name companies make 33" 5 & 6 strings - I just wondered if anyone has any experience with them? I know Janek Gwizdala plays a 33" 6 string. I'm thinking it might be more comfortable for me, and make the transition when I'm playing from 4 to 5 a little easier. Jon says there should be no problem with the low B either. Look forward to your input! Regards, Mike

A 4 string Shuker Classic Jazz in the making - New pics 20/10/08
Mike replied to Noisyjon's topic in Build Diaries
I got my pics through as well! Good stuff. -
Superb - looks like you could go swimming in that top. -
I know you might not be keen, but I have a USA Jazz 5 that I'm keen to swap for something - Black on black, rosewood neck. I'm sure we could come to a good deal! -
Welcome to Basschat Chris - but Ssssshhh!! I would also like to hear the skinny on the Zoot cabs. But I should really just pop 10mins down the road to Mike @ Bass Merchant. Still, let's hope we get some info.
