shizznit Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is Mark now stocking Shuker basses? Seems to have 4 brand new pieces in the shop at the moment... http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Shuker_stock.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It looks like it! Mark seems to be advertising them as brand new/unplayed, can't see any other way he could have gotten hold of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I love the P, apart from the gold hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon1964 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 All four are currently on the stock basses page of John's website, at the same prices. Presumably he's agreed some sort of deal with Bass Direct to sell some of the stock basses he makes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Either way, it's good to see the brand at a shop. Jon's completion times for new orders are pretty long to say the least, so it's a good opportunity to grab yourself a quality bass instantly. Mark has had a few 2nd hand Shukers pass through the shop in recent years, but having 4 brand spanking new ones in stock, individually unique and different models at that, is pretty special.

Scooby Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) The Bass Barn did have these very same basses on display ([url="http://www.bassbarn.co.uk/epages/es140349.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es140349/Categories/Shuker_Bass/Stock_Basses"]http://www.bassbarn....ss/Stock_Basses[/url]) I have no idea why Jon switched to Bass Direct? I suspect that as Bass Direct are retailers and the Bass Barn had the basses on a 'display only' basis, it is easier for for Jon to let Mark handle the finance side. However, Jon must be losing a fair wedge in commission? Edited October 1, 2013 by Scooby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 There's always a toss up between direct sales and retailer sales for any manufacturer. Less time dealing with customers generally equals more time to make product which is the bit that you actually get paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
