  1. After spending a fair amount of time in Vegas and listening to "The Bull" radio station which pretty much plays this stuff constantly I've found southern rock growing on me a lot... Good guitar and quite catchy songs. This is the first time I've heard of them but quite enjoying it... beats the normal southern song writing about either; trucks, girls, drinking. Black Stone Cherry are good as well!
  2. It feels so good to be back on a 4 stringer rather than a 5 stringer. Feels like home. Traded my Shuker 5 string Singlecut for a beautiful Suhr Jazz. Hardware is slowly being changed to black but plays beautifully and sounds pretty damn good! Not really played bass properly for many years apart from dabbling and already finding myself able to play some of the stuff I used to be able to... admittedly with slightly less efficient technique! Apologies to Eubassix for using some of his pictures!
  3. Originally bought from Joe's Pedals, one of the best sounding delays ever made. 1979 4-knob Deluxe Memory Man w/ built in power cable. Good condition, no issues. Looking for £180 inc postage. Not interested in trades as my pedal board is pretty much finished.
  4. Had one or two messages, I would accept 4 string trade offers + cash my way. Had a noodle on it again today and it is remarkably easy to play. Lowered price as well.
  5. I have wobbled about selling this a few times but as beautiful as this bass is I am not a 5 string player and at best I'm a guitar player who dabbles in bass these days. This instrument took 18 months to finish and is truly stunning to look at, which is sadly what I'm doing most of the time now. Might be tempted by a good 4 string+cash my way. I'd quite like a Status Vintage PJ, but would also prefer the cash to fund a new acoustic.

  6. Bump. A few offers but not sold yet. Would have thought there would be more interested as it is basically brand new, and £1000 cheaper without the 18 month wait for a new one... Guess the market is relatively slow at the moment. Would be interested in guitar trades, tending more towards a decent Gibson/higher end guitar or something with P90s
  7. Final price drop. Ill cover shipping. Bank transfer or paypal (you pay fees)
  8. Turbo Tuner > Wilson Effects 12 Posn Vintage Wah > Drybell Vibe Machine > 1981 Ibanez TS 808 > Timmy > 1978 Memory Man Deluxe It is pretty much done at the moment. The only things I am considering adding is a decent compressor and a Neo Mini Vent. The Timmy doesn't get used that much apart from dirtying up the TS. I've got the Timmy set more like a fuzz than an OD.
  9. Forgot to say, I would accept guitar trades but only really for a Hamer LP Special and cash my way (might be interested in any other Hamers out there). Also I realsed 2k is unrealistic for this 2nd hand, no matter how new. Lowered price to reflect a fairer market value.
  10. No trades really as I just don't play bass anymore. If I played I would keep it. Neck woods are maple/wenge stripes. Comes with a Hiscox hard case. I am happy to deliver within a few hours of Lincoln.
  11. B-G, just bought myself an ebs session 60 as well so perfect practice riff to keep me going for a while.
  12. Think I met you today picking mine up. That fretboard is stunning! Will be following to see how the rest of it comes along.
  13. It's done! Went to collect it today. It's even prettier in the flesh. My photos may not do it justice but there should be better photos on the Shuker website soon.

  14. I loved my Zon. I eventually sold it on here but it is the only bass I've owned that I regret selling. If I ever need another bass beyond the one being built for me, or a 4 string I will buy another.
  15. I'm going black hardware, I want the focus to mainly be on the wood. I think I had specced this guitar in my head back during Bassworld days, I havent really had a bass for the last 5 years as I moved more into playing guitar but have always missed it. Trying to research amps again now to choose a decent lightweight set up, and downsizing my guitar setup as well. Jon is also currently building me a guitar, although that is a lot more traditional and based on a "Jazzmaster/Tele hybrid" Probably going to have a Shuker only rig until I can afford the Teye guitar I'm after.
  16. Nice figure on the neck. The LEDs are a cool touch as well.
  17. Bass is almost finished now. Jon is putting everything together over the next week or so so hopefully able to collect it soon. Have received some more pictures now the lacquer has been finished and it may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
  18. How is this coming on? Should be collecting my shuker soon!
