Have a look at this wonderful thread of beauties! :)

http://basschat.co.uk/topic/25096-shuker-mega-thread/page__st__200__p__1836932__hl__shuker__fromsearch__1#entry1836932

Feel free to post your pictures on there too! - My two Shukers are on the thread too. I had a third, a lovely six string with buckeye facings. Jon Shuker really is a master at his craft and it still amazes me how he manages to deliver these incredible machines at the prices he can. Easily one of the very best.

Very nice.
Think the Artist is a perfect match for a P.

I have never owned a Shuker bass, but I did once speak to Jon Shuker on the phone. I was in Byker, the skies were grey and I was at work. I was ringing up about buying a bass he had on his website, I think it had been a demo model that he had taken to a music show. Anyway, it looked lovely. Headless, Delano singlecoils, stunning top wood. It was only when I spoke to him on the phone and found out that it had a mahogany neck that I decided sadly it might not be for me. He reckoned the sound was pretty mellow, and at the time I was looking for something that sounded like a razor blade. I ended up with a 1987 Status SII which I enjoyed a lot. I was very thankful to Jon for taking the time to chat to me on the phone, I gather he is a busy man.

Wow, what a rod !
Can you tell me why did you choose a 36" neck for only 4 strings ? Maybe for a BEAD mount ?

Hi , In one band I play in we do quite a bit of D tunning plus I like a really punchy clear piano type tone & I've never really got on with 5 string basses plus I'm 6 ft 4 & I've always wanted something a bit more in proportion to my size .
