MrT-Bass Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Updated with more pictures and information - Up for sale only is my awesome handmade Shuker 5 series II bolt-on completed in December 2009. This really is a fantastic bass with huge flexibility sound-wise...if I didn't have another bass on the way, this would stay with me but I really have to operate a one in, one out policy at the moment. [color=#dd0000][color=#000000]The spec is below, along with pictures and a showreel of recordings I've made with the bass.[/color][/color] The bass has had lots of playing but is in great condition with no major dings or dents - 8.5/10 !! (I have included a picture of a tiny surface scratch on the finger board at the first fret. It's really not that big or deep but I wanted to show it.) The frets we're levelled at the last service and, as I then received a new SC bass from Jon, this bass hasn't seen many playing hours since so they are also in great shape. [b]Now fully serviced, fret polish and new strings!!![/b] This bass new, with the various options, would cost over £2000 and there would be a 9-12 month wait for delivery.... I am based in London and can ship within the UK, Europe all at buyers expense. Trials are also possible for the more local buyer.

edstraker123 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Utterly stunning ! I have just put another lottery ticket on ! Do you think Jon could remove the scratch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrT-Bass Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm pretty sure it can be removed but it really is tiny. Since it has been serviced it has got less pronounced. Maybe due to the wood soaking up the lemon oil and re-expanding...? Either way it's barely noticeable. And it in no way impacts on the playability or sound of the bass as it is purely a surface indent. I hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrT-Bass Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys I've had a few offers of trades but nothing I 'm going for. I really want a cash / bank transfer sale. This really is a stunning example of Jon's handiwork..such a great player and if you ask me, it's a bargin (I guess I would say that but it really is!!)

ZenBasses Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Still can't believe this is still for sale. My original series 2 Shuker was one of the first built using the series 2 shape . very comfortable and a complete tone monster. When having mine built a similar type of buckeye was offered. Looked absolutely stunning... Somebody will be getting an amazing piece of Jons work. Sunday bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Absolutely stunning bass and the wood is beautiful. Got me thinking if I really need both kidneys! Anyone know how much kidneys go for on the black market these days? Have a bump on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrT-Bass Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm not in the 'Kidney market' but I'm sure one would buy a Shuker or two....and this could be one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
