Up for sale are my gorgeous Shuker Jazz basses. I picked up the 4 string on here, I believe it to be built in 2008. I commissioned the 5 to be as close as possible to the 4, just with a Low B, and it was completed in 2013. Woods, pickups and electronics are the same. The Villex electronics are insane! These are the 2 most versatile passive Jazz style basses I have ever played. Everything from Jaco to Marcus is in these basses, and all without a battery! The 4 string has reverse wind tuners and a Hipshot Detuner. There are a couple of very small dings on the 5 string, as it's been all over the world with me, but these aren't visible from the front. The 4 string has a ding through the lacquer on the back of the neck at the 12th fret. I can take more detailed pictures if needed.

The 5 string weighs just over 10lbs, and will come with Schaller straplocks and it's original Hiscox Liteflite Case. The 4 string is an even 9lbs, has Dunlop straplocks, and will come with a standard Fender style hardcase, or if you want to knock £25 off, a standard Fender style gig bag.

Ok, pictures available: HERE *PLEASE NOTE THE 5 STRING PRECISION IS NOT FOR SALE*

Basses are both located in Chingford N.E. London. Would prefer collection as opposed to a courier, but one can be arranged at your expense if need be. Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection.

It's basically like a passive tone control, but it just scoops the mids out, leaving the top end intact. Makes it sound like an active bass, as cutting mids sounds like boosting bass and treble. Really cool idea, and very effective!
