  1. Bought my first Shuker a few months ago - PJ with many JJ features (and many more high end refinements and appointments). it's outrageously good - playability is amazing and ergonomics are lovely. This is a bargain IMO!
  2. Here's a Spitfire for comparison - lovely 3D and slightly more red and cream-yellow than appears here (iPhone). About as good as it gets from contemporary suppliers (but very expensive - mine came ready-fitted)
  3. These are absolutely beautiful instruments - sheer class. I have 251 (very close - probably within a couple of months). Mine had the same 'milky' finish problem at the side of the neck so I had a neck only re-fin a few months ago (from the guys that originally undertook the finishing for Status back in the mid '80s) In my opinion, this is an excellent price - I was offered a great deal more for mine just a year ago. Someone is going to get a classic bass here
  4. How cute - I like this very much - unique, individual and very cool!
  5. had the 5 string 'non X' version of this - outstanding instruments with the highest level of attention to detail and a lovely feel
  6. Some of the finest woodworking I've seen! Is that neck through or slotted - nice to see an image from the end of the body
  7. I really don't know what's happening in the world of bass! Outrageously cheap IMO
  8. Last couple of bumps - I have a viewing on this on Wednesday and if it doesn't go then, it's off on consignment. Collection from Birmingham for £1030
  9. Wow, what a price! This looks beautiful - some of the nicest necks around in my opinion
  10. [quote name='Sloth' timestamp='1432176654' post='2778893'] Stalyvegas? [/quote] Hahaha, next door, 'shton
  11. Still here and still lovely! I can ship this in the UK with shipping included in the price (excludes insurance)
  12. [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1431456846' post='2771595'] Jesus, what a bass and what a bargain. GLWTS. [/quote] Thanks for this - it really is outrageously lovely and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why it hasn't sold - a very flat market I suspect!
  13. These International colours from the mid 70s are among my favourites ever on a Fender - absolutely lovely!
  14. @Discreet...it's safely stored (away from building dust) and missing you...
  15. I've had enough Wals to know that they don't actually suit me, however, that looks absolutely lovely! If I thought I'd have any chance of playing it, I'd be in trouble
  16. The saddles/screws on my L we're completely frozen - they couldn't be loosened at all and the screws eventually disintegrated. I replaced the saddles with some really really nice brass barrels from ebay - about £10. Fairly easy and quick and no impact on tone (but massive impact on adjustability)

    Lovely - what's the nut width?
  18. I've played this when it was in the UK - all of us that had the pleasure would concur that this is without doubt one of the finest J types around. The neck is unbelievable - as close to a well worn-in 60-61 J as you'll find. £1400 is a joke IMO - if I had the dosh it would be long gone
  19. I don't get on with the necks on these at all well, but this bass really is something very special.
  20. [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1429132787' post='2748471'] Arrrrgh. Don't need another fretlesss, don't need another fretless.......... [/quote] And it's just over the Snake, through Glossop and next big town along. A fine selection of pastries, biscuits, teas, coffees, wines and beers awaits
  21. [quote name='juliusmonk' timestamp='1429089571' post='2747785'] I reached a part-trade agreement with the OP last week and the bass has been paid for. Thought I would mention it for all interested BCers! Just waiting for it to be shipped to me... [/quote] I suspect that you're going to be delighted - absolutely stunning - as good as it can possibly get IMO
  22. [quote name='Shaggy_64' timestamp='1428834936' post='2744951'] We are in Sheffield and it's a possible delivery for petrol cost [/quote] thanks - will need to consider this carefully!
