FOR SALE - SHUKER CUSTOM EXPLORER - £900 FIRM - **OFFERS**

Built for me in 2009/10 by Jon Shuker, this would be over £2k if commissioned now. Also included is the Flightcase Warehouse custom flightcase for it, which is built like a tank. 

Here's the spec:

4-string
Set neck
34" scale
Maple neck
Rosewood fretboard
Jumbo fretwire
White side LEDs
Two way truss rod
Carbon fibre reinforcement
Jazz neck profile, 38.5mm nut
Brass nut
Mahogany body
Rear-routed
Individual bridge units
Passive - vol, vol, tone
Translucent red gloss
Flame maple facing and headstock
Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Precision pickup
Seymour Duncan STK-J2 Jazz pickup

 

Flightcase Warehouse Bass Guitar Flightcase:

Type: Hinged Lid
Material: 7mm hexa board
Foam: Lined in 10mm high density foam
Heavy duty Penn Elcom fittings
Egg box foam in Lid

There's a bit of rust on the latch handles, but the latches themselves work just fine.

 

The bridge on this is pushed further back than that of a Gibson Explorer, with the entire 34" scale moved so there's absolutely zero neck dive and it isn't the same cumbersome beast the Gibson is. Neck is to Jazz Bass specs.

Couple of dings as you can see in the photos - the worst one on the bottom corner near the jack plate (ironically caused by the flightcase - tight backstage area and I turned round too quick, d'oh), a little one on the top corner, one on the end of the headstock, and some light belt buckle rash on the back. Tarnishing of the finish on the bridge pieces and the knobs, but everything works just fine and dandy. It's been gigged plenty, always lived in the flightcase, cleaned and set up regularly.

Collection from Sheffield ideally, or I can meet/deliver by arrangement, or can courier at buyers cost.

Selling (very reluctantly!) as I'm swapping over to short scale basses on doctor's orders following surgery!

Awesome looking bass GLWTS !!

What is the worthy short scale replacement to something like this ?

Relatively plain replacements, alas. A Fender Mustang PJ, a Squier Jaguar SS (though I've modded the tits off of that), and a couple of Telecaster style partscasters for a summer project. 

Ideally I'd keep the Shuker but it just doesn't seem right, that thing deserves to be played!!!!
