Just got this - used to have one in natural a few years but sold it for some reason !! Have always liked the black ones as it makes the large pickguard less obvious. i Just love the tinted neck and gold coloured block inlays.

Looks mint in the pictures, but in fact its nicely "road-worn" for its 10 years, with little dings, chips, scratches here and there which will make me less worried about putting the first mark on it!  Set up was poor when I got it, so have adjusted the truss, all the saddles, intonation etc and it plays really nicely. Swapped out the completely dead strings for a partially used set I had to give a bit more brightness - plan to put Elixirs on when I can get some at a sensible price!

I know there are mixed thoughts on the pre-am/pickups (I'm assuming these are stock for now) but it sounds good, and there is no discernible single coil hum and no apparent earth/grounding issues - might be a different matter when recording or on a fully lit stage etc. Tone controls as most of you will know are treble/bass and boost/boost only. The bass boost is ridiculous, but set at about a 1/3rd it gives a nice tone.  

Pondering whether to replace the chrome knobs with fender-style black ones (the original would have been the unusual half and half which I'm not keen on).

Ooh very nice indeed 👍🏻👍🏻 I love that owners can properly look after the oiled/waxed finishes unlike the gloss stuff!

Nice bass & Nice chops!!!  GLWTS 👍🏻

Phew - only got 4 strings!!! Absolutely gorgeous. GLWTS 👍🏻

Great playing - had never heard of Jordan Mackampa, but having listened to his stuff on YouTube  (with your cool bass playing) I'll definitely be checking out a gig!! 

GLWTS

Someone is going to be very happy - an absolute peach of a bass!!

You’re teasing us with the gig bag pic !!!

Lozz bought my Fender P bass and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Lovely to chat about favourite bands and stuff like that. Top bloke - would recommend to others whether buying or selling 

Thanks for your purchase

Dave

Wow stunning !!

Love the finish on it - unusual and stunning!

Shuker makes seriously good basses. My Series 2 is my “go to” bass for reliability, ease of playing, and recording quality. This one looks fab and I reckon would cost more than twice this price to spec new.

Great story and I can imagine the horror of finding the recorder was not connected !!!

a wonderful insight into the inner workings of a huge business 👍🏻

Wow great bass, great colour, great price. If this had one more string I’d be writing a cheque now !!!

GLWTS although you shouldn’t need it 👍🏻

Yes of course, the nut is 40mm and the weight is 4.1kg

Correction -sloppy measuring - width 41mm maybe 41.5mm (don't have any callipers!)

Thanks

****************PRICE UPDATE******************** NOW £1,000 SHIPPED (UK)***********************European Shipping at cost

So this was my first foray into the world of P Bass and I absolutely love it - however, as a solely (up until then!) 5 string player, I have now seen a 5 string PJ I want, so this has to go.

Serial number suggests a 2009 build, and is in excellent condition, recently re-strung with Rotosound flats. No marks, chips, scratches,  in the gloss black body, just the usual little swirls etc on the pick guard. Small scuff to rear of headstock, which you can just see in the picture.  Has active/passive switching and you can pan between the P or J pickups or of course a blend of the two. Sounds just like a "traditional" P bass in passive mode panned to the P pickup, but bring the Jazz pickup in adds that extra tonal qualities.

- 3 band EQ and tone control when in passive mode.

- 41mm at the nut.

- 18/19mm string spacing at bridge (neck through body stringing or top-load, whichever you prefer).

- weight around 4.1kg. Balances nicely on the strap.

- Has all the original case candy, receipts, documents etc. Case is built like a tank.

PM me if interested - I can ship.

Wow - nicest Lakland I’ve seen! GLWTS 👍🏻

That is a lot of feedback !!  Anyway, Martin purchased some strap-locks from me and it was nice dealing with him - an all round great experience. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, but with 15 pages of feedback already, I probably don't need to!!

Thanks for your purchase Martin.

And sold - thanks

NEW PRICE £35.

So having downsized my bass collection I have too many straps !! and this one is just too nice to leave in a drawer. It was made by Martin Pryce for me (see link below). I have two others from him that I'm keeping

https://www.martinpryceleather.co.uk/collections/leather-guitar-straps/products/replica-gilmour-guitar-strap-custom-made-brown

This one he made for me is 115cm from peg hole to peg hole but can go a fair bit shorter if you like. It is a lovely soft leather, and the 3" wide nature of it makes even the heaviest basses feel comfortable. It doesn't "ruck-up" in the annoying way that a lot of the adjustable straps do.

Price includes postage within the UK and is less than half what a new one would cost. PM me if you'd like it.

Set of used genuine Warwick strap locks as sadly I no longer have any Warwick basses 🥲. New price is around £20 or a bit less for some dubious eBay ones 😂 or £16.90 (+vat) plus £8 shipping from a big German   Store!

I’d give them away except the £5 is to cover P&P costs.

PM me if you’d like them

Classy bass and very classy playing! GLWTS. 👍🏻

I'm closing this topic and withdrawing the bass - if after the event anyone fancies making me an offer, then just drop me a PM.

Final price drop to £2,600. If it doesn’t sell by Monday 15th then I’m holding on to it 😂😂 So PM me if interested. Cheers 

I’d like to see this go to a good home, as part of my thinning of the collection so do feel free to make me an offer via PM.

it’s a terrific bass and you won’t be disappointed. The pics don’t do it justice.

Sold my Moog Sub37 to Max, @goffman and all went very smoothly.

Good communication and quick payment - Max is a really nice guy.

Thanks for your purchase Max, and I hope you have a lot of fun with it
