[quote name='soggs' post='757149' date='Feb 25 2010, 03:08 PM']Having to have a clear out, need space and money, I hate getting rid of stuff.
I've had it on for sale before, but decided not to sell it, as I didn't need to then.
This bass is a beauty, John Shuker made it for me 5 years ago, the elites are still
his most expensive basses, its a stunning bass, never been gigged, lovingly looked
after, its unmarked and in immaculate condition.
Its a through neck wenge and flame maple with wenge and Quilted maple top and back.
Gold Schaler hardware, Gotoh Tuners, EMG Soapbar pups and johns Electronics, has
active passive switch, Fretboard slops into body and I had John curve the edges of the
neck into the fretboard, so its really comfortable to play, Rosewood fretboard 24 fret,
bookmatched covers on backplates and headstock, you can get most tones out of this
bass, its a pleasure to play and everything about its top quality, comes with flight case
I don't know what Johns charging for these nowadays, as he's become a lot more well
known of late, I paid £2200 for it 5 years ago, looking for around £1200 for it, open to
offers though, had it set up by another well known luthier a only few months ago[/quote]would u consider a ibanez soundgear sr 505 fivestring plus cash
