Check out the head stocks on the Vintage branded basses, looks similar to me. Also can't quite tell but aren't the tuners Wilkinsons, again used by Vintage basses (not that there is owt wrong with them, just not Tokai!)

Marcus Miller Jazz now made in Mexico?
jimbobothy replied to jimbobothy's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Cheers for that Wooks, interesting stuff indeed! One thing I did notice is the MM in the linked post had vintage tuners, whereas the one I've posted from ebay has 70's style. I have noticed that Marcus Miller has been playing a custom shop version of his original bass recently and that has 70's tuners on it aswell. I guess they are having a transition period -

[b]Temporarily withdrawn folks, sorry![/b] [b]Potential buyer has gone quiet so now back up for grabs [/b] Hi folks, I know it's a quick turnaround but after playing etc this beauty is wasted on me a bit and at heart I'm a 4 string jazzer. It's a Jon Shuker ([url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/[/url]) J 5 with Bartolinis and a John East U-Retro 01 Deluxe preamp ([url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url]) and has a 35 inch scale, this makes the B string ring like a bell!! It weighs about 9.4 Ibs and is well balanced on a strap, All very nice and very well made stuff. I've borrowed the snaps from Ollie (hope you don't mind bud) [attachment=122522:Shuker 5.jpg] [attachment=122523:Shuker 4.jpg] [attachment=122524:Shuker 3.jpg] [attachment=122525:Shuker 2.jpg] [attachment=122526:Shuker 1.jpg] Now as I'd want everybody to be happy it's collection only, also it avoids any potential damage to this very nice British made bass. There are a few marks here and there so it is definitely in a used condition. [b]I've taken this bass to Jon Shuker since this post originally went up and he has done the following:[/b] [b]1. Replaced the jack socket[/b] [b]2. Earthed the electronics[/b] [b]3. Reworked the bridge saddles and nut to lower the action, much lower now![/b] [b]4. Set up and fret polish[/b] [b]The cost of this work being carried out by Jon is reflected in the new asking price of £725 collected (or £750 with a SKB foam hardcase)[/b] Also when speaking to Jon about the bass he told me that this was his first 5 string jazz that he made using this body shape, it's about 10 years old or so and it didn't originally come with the John East preamp or Barts installed. He did however route the battery box for it at a later date! Any trial welcome and I'm based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. NB. Over Christmas I'll be in Reigate, Surrey for a week so could deal from there if need be

Just bought the aforementioned Shuker Jazz off Ollie in an easy smooth transaction, also had a cuppa and a chat. Nice guy to deal with and wouldn't hesitate to buy/trade/sell with again, Cheers.

How about one of the first Class A transistor amps, the Sugden A21 (Mk1 or Mk2). A pretty good combo when paired with some Heybrook Optimas

I bought a BT 2 bass extender from Rich, surprised he didn't have a feedback thread as he has mega posts! All went well and as the item was thoughtfully packaged it all fitted through my front door. Recommended BC'er
