RichBowman Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Christ Mike, Feel so sorry for you that it's taken so long. The only consolation I can offer is that it's going to be a stonking bass when you (finally) get your hands on it. Cheers and all the best, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Soon indeed. I have pictures! As of tonight. Thanks Jon. Note the new style chrome logo. Jon says after he's done a few more coats/sprays it will look fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 That's looking fabbo ... Gosh I am so glad I got the Nordtrand pups for my new Shuker from somewhere else - and they had them in stock I think the delivery delay is due to the really big increase in demand they've had over the last year. The cases arrive on Monday and I think they'll be about the same price as normal Hiscox. They are the shaped ones rather than the big teardrops that I prefer. That's shame as I'd like to have a shuker badged case... I suggested that Jon ask Hiscox to fit strap D rings so that you can add a strap and sling it over your shoulder to reduce the trips to the car at gigs. If he didn't manage to get them fitted Hiscox will sell you D rings and send directions for where to rivet them on. They did that for me .

largo Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 So the race is on .... There seems to be 3 or 4 Shukers in their final stages and it'll be interesting to see who gets theirs quickest. Pics required to prove it ;0) Mine is, I reckon a couple of weeks away yet as the sparkle finish meant Jon had to use a different lacquer and more coats of it so it's another week or so over schedule. Buga ! Anybody had close to the 14 weeks quoted before ordering ? Mines been at least 6 months I reckon, probably more. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, mine is pretty much done! Being strung and set up today, then will be left for a weekend/week until Jon is happy to send it on. So potentially here next week! If not, then almost certainly the week after. I'm giddy with anticipation. The tough part is, I'm on holiday for 3 weeks in a month, by gum I'll miss it!

Bassman7 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Now surely you guys must also be reps for Shuker? Ed Straker says: 'It's got LEDs, must be SimS...' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
