[quote name='King Tut' timestamp='1483367640' post='3206540'] Hi mate, can I have first dibs on this pls PROVIDED the neck pocket is the right size? I should think it will be as I'm planning to mate it with a mighty mite neck. Where are you based? Colin [/quote] Colin is in there first! ha ha! I should have been quicker -
Possibly interested pending the measurements!

That's a lot of bass for not much money! Wow, another fine Shuker! -
Just me, mostly sharing my HD quality bass gear reviews and anything else I may be doing that involves music @DanVeallBassist I'm on Instagram too with the same ID.

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1481286012' post='3191201'] I have a Bassworld sticker on my bass case. [/quote] I think I still have a BassWorld logo featuring my Shuker 7 string!

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1481238652' post='3190976'] I joined bassworld back in 2002 when there were less than 100 members. I've seen it morph through various incarnations. If you search though web archives there is a snapshot of what bassworld was like. [/quote] Yes indeed! I too have been on board since BassWorld v.1 The Early Years. I think we actually knew everyone by their actual names back then too!!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1482787280' post='3202770'] Like maybe you've not seen him before. Awsome stuff and a great talent. Pity it's been lost along the way. [media]http://youtu.be/wW9Saj9V-js[/media] [/quote] And now it makes [i]so[/i] much more sense.

Well there bridge and knobs definitely aren't stock so could be that. Standard radius and Fender pickguard. It could be the black knobs and the bridge is a bit shiny for a real 1976er.

https://instagram.com/p/BDWIPHykbpN/ Hopefully this link will work via my mobile. Funnily, I have a really nice Fender neck here that I am looking for a CIJ Alder body. That's taking a bit of time to find I can tell you as I want a natural one!

Would you take a very close 'law suit' model as an option Shambo? As an example, I have a 76 model and when it came to do some upgrades I just put official Fender parts on. The thing that made me chuckle is that the pickguard I put on the bass didn't need any new holes drilling! You don't even get that between Fender's own models he he! I'll post a picture of my own Ash/Maple beauty in a bit.

Derek Smalls' Burning Earth Bass by Lakland... Well, if there's space for a couple more!!! https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/72/f35329a4fa36c27292b953c8f6d8d47f/full.jpg

I also wondered about the Valve DI Preamps from ART and Presonus too. They look quite small and may well do the trick.

The EBS Valve Drive II?
-
The EMG PJ set is a powerful set with a big punchy low end, though you will see countless comments online about the pickups sounding sterile and flat. Which is utter nonsense.

If I had the spare cash (which I don't) this thread wouldn't have lasted more than an hour lol!! What an opportunity!

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1482334462' post='3199679'] I may be wrong but I think that's had a pickup change too? IIRC, they had pickups with large pole pieces, like modern day Duncan QP's.... EDIT: I've owned 3 of these, was a while ago mind you.... [/quote] [quote name='lastanthem88' timestamp='1482337941' post='3199714'] Yeah, I suspect they are replacements. I have the black version of this which is def all original and the poles are slightly smaller. It's the same sound though, pretty much identical to my ear - anyone looking for that Duff treble mid sound which cuts and 'clunks' through can def get it with this. [/quote] Actually, I'd say not - This bass is a Japanese Jazz Bass Special which technically wasn't a Duff McKagan bass. These were stock rather like my pair of Power Jazz Bass Specials. The newer Mexican Duff models do indeed have pickups to match the upgrades that Duff McKagan made to his own basses over the years. Interestingly, the original Jazz Bass Specials don't have the same neck as the version Duff had and subsequently the Mexi signature models. His own white bass and possibly the black version has a P neck on it whilst the stock JBS basses have a J neck. That said, it doesn't detract one bit from the fact that these Japanese basses are stunning and amongst the best to come out of Fender Japan. Case in point, I have a CIJ precision neck here which is far nicer than the current Mexi equivalent. Good luck with the sale!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1482263192' post='3199089'] One thing that puts me off those pickups is the lights. I know Sims like their LEDs but I would want the option to disable them on the pickups personally, I don't know if that is doable without hacking about though! I assume the pickups are totally passive apart from the LEDs, if so you could just disconnect the power. [/quote] [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1482263536' post='3199093'] Don't you need the LEDs to know what configuration the pickup is in? [/quote] If you don't have a preamp too, then no, just take the battery out. The pickups themselves are passive and don't require the battery to operate. if you do have a preamp such as the Glockenklang unit Martin installs, then a quick look at the installation guide would allow you to lift the lead for the LED supply without disabling the preamp as well.

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1482244851' post='3198788'] My Glockenklang 2 band has that. [/quote] Yup I have a 2 band and the three band circuit featuring said function. A very good stock circuit too. I'd also recommend John East, nice preamps from an even nicer guy!
-
I love the combination of the rich body colour and the maple fretboard. Yes, I like that a lot! I also think that putting the pickups underneath the chrome covers retains the vintage look along side the bug hefty bridge. I think I prefer that headstock over the Epi' one too, it seems to so with the body shape angles. Just me I guess. Congratulations Muzz. I do enjoy seeing Franken' basses and this one looks as if it were meant to be all along.

TC Spectracomp by a good distance. It can be 'one of those' invisible pedals that does the job with transparency - sometimes not even noticing how much it's doing a good job. Pick another preset and it's a squishy full-band Ross type compressor, another preset and it leaves the lows alone and brickwalls high frequencies. I mean, in terms of flexibly and copying what pretty much every other compressor's USP is on the market.. for the money, it's crazy. I also have the Hypergravity which can do the same but has more control knobs on top.

Having spotted that my donor bass has a reverse P pickup in it, it looks like the MM pickup can drop straight in to the MM sweet spot!
