  1. I had this up for trade recently but I've now decided that I really need to sell it. I'm not using it and it kills me to see such a nice Bass lying around doing nothing.

    I bought this from Mike back in 2010 and I must say it's a stunning Bass to to play and listen to. The specs (taken from the original thread) are below.

    Pics on their way but original thread is here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/100736-shuker-jazz-5-33-flamed-maple-red-leds-macassar-ebony-board/"]http://basschat.co.u...ar-ebony-board/[/url]

    Just spotted this on the Ibanez site. [url="http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/Series-ATKPremium"]http://www.ibanez.co...ries-ATKPremium[/url]

    I always wanted to pick up one of the original basses after seeing the Offspring back around 1998 but this version looks great.

    Hats off to Ibanez for recording the sound/video clips too. The bassist is a beast too - I've listened to all the clips and the playing is pretty awesome.

    No idea on UK pricing or if it will make it here, they quote $749 so I would hope it would be around £500, in which case I want it!!!

    Loving this Bassist, the bass sounds great too.

    This is screaming ply body at me. Whenever a seller says that he's not sure if the parts are genuine or not, especially more than once, you can be sure they're not.

  4. This one also has no name on the headstock. I was hoping the guy would be a basschatter but no sign of him yet.

    I'm going to get it working, not sure what's wrong with it yet but I am getting a reading from the pups so I doubt it's them. I'm not gigging this weekend so it'll give me some time to have a look at it. I'll probably order some new pots and a jack for it in the meantime.

  5. I've had this Jap Crap P-Bass in my garage for a while and yesterday I decided to have a closer look at it. It's not working so I decided to take off the scratchplate and have a look at the engine.


    Anyway I found this written under the scratchplate and was wondering if it ever belonged to anyone on the board.

    Also the pickup looks similar to a Dimarzio so I was just wondering if it was.

    Any info on the bass would be appreciated.

    Thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guitard has just picked up one of those Robert smith schecters. Sounds quite good, looks quite ugly. Not a patch on his tele's though.

    Shhhhh don't say that, he used it last night and was proud as anything of it.
