Miker400 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Shuker 5 String Single Cut.. Back to Ā£1000 Turns out the active is fine itās just a noisy socket (that I already knew about).Ā On this style of active the tone controls donāt function in passive mode; they come in to play when the push/pull volume control goes active; according to Barry at KGB. The actives are not Bartolini (unlike the pick-ups) - it appears they are Shukers own & incidentally I think it sounds great. KGB is replacing a pot and a noisy socket so Iām down about Ā£45.00. As Iāve had the work completed and pick up the guitar tomorrow itās back to the original ALREADY LOW asking price of Ā£1000. Iām keeping the information below for clarity, but itās no longer Ā£850; and it is functioning fine.. *** Ā£850 - If you get it fixed..!Ā *** There is a fault with the active side of the electronics; the passive works okay š. Iām only selling this bass to fund a Jazz Deluxe / Elite or Ultra, and Iāve seen one I like for Ā£850. If your prepared toĀ except the fault, then you are getting an absolute bargain & a luthier could make the active sing again. This offer can only last while the other bass is still available or until the guys at KGB musical instruments fix the fault, but they havenāt contacted me yet so I could pick it up in a heartbeat. Ā£850 doesnāt cover postage or hard case. Iād like someone to pick it up or buy my hard case and arrange their own courier from my address. If you buy the hard case Ā£50 (Hiscox) and arrange your own courier Iāll wrap this bass in all kinds of bubble wrap packing and place the lot in a bass size cardboard box.. If in the meantime KGB fix my guitar this bass goes back to Ā£1000..! Still Getting the electronics fixed. Due to illness the guitar is still (1 week thus far) at the workshop (KGB Musical Instruments). Ā£1000 Up for sale / or tradeĀ is my Shuker Single Cut - 5 string. Iāve owned it for about 8yrs and never really gigged it. MainlyĀ used for practice sessions and home playing. It could probably do with a small service (crackly jack skt)Ā but itās still very playable; in good overall conditionĀ with low action and a stable, fast shallowĀ neck. 34ā Scale and Bartolinis. Payed a lot more than Iām selling for. The only mark I can see on it is a small nick in the lacquer on the top edge of the body. Not sure of the woods but I think the facing is spalted ash with a tiger stripe finish that looks amazing. 24 frets in good condition. Currently fitted with 30-115 (super light) Status steel round wound strings, and thereās precious little rattle. Itās a lot of bass for the price! Selling as Iāve recently played a friends USA 77 jazz at a gig;Ā and I want one. So this has to make way. If anyone has a newish re-addition 70ās jazz Iāll consider a trade / swap..!Ā Ideally a USA Jazz Deluxe with the block (70ās style) neck inlays and edge binding or an Elite or Ultra.. Ā ideally looking for a buyer to arrange localĀ pick-up. Edited January 26, 2020 by Miker400 Awaiting work 6
Martin_D Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Beautiful bass that. Ā My Jazz Bass 70s American Original is still available if it sells.
Dazed Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 That is a nice looking bass. Probably plays and sounds great too if itās a Shuker
tournesol74 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) hi, I have a jazz deluxe 2011 inlays black and mapple, if you agree to ship toĀ France... Edited January 11, 2020 by tournesol74
binky_bass Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 If that was a 6er I'd have bought it already!Ā Ā£1000 is a great price too. GLWTS!

Thanks for the interest, I would need to some pics and have more information about your Jazz Deluxe. It would also need to be American. There is already a U.S. Jazz deluxe on this forum that I want, so it would need to be as good as that.Ā The cost of insured shipping (Eurosender) to France would need to be added, as well as the added cost of Hiscox flight case, that I wasnāt going to add to the sale as itās the last case I have and Iād need to purchase another one. Hence, I was looking ideally for local pickup. Youād be looking at a total cost of around Ā£1100..?!
tournesol74 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Of course itĀ s an american ! The one with inlays,Ā black andĀ mapple fretboard...
binky_bass Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Can you accidentally send it to me please? I promise I'll pay you one day...Ā š

Miker400 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 Iāve been asked about the body size, insofar as how big it looks. I think itās pretty compact in size for a 34ā 5 string, but I thought Iād post some pics of it next to my sons V7 Jazz. Itās also quite a slim body thickness. The electronics consist of a push / pull volume control; pick up sweep between bridge & neck with central lock; 3 tone controls Bass / Mid / Treble (boost / cut on each) with central position lock. A couple of pots are slightly stiff to turn but donāt effect the sound and theyāre not loose. Everything on this bass is rock solid. But I do reiterate: The electronics could do with a small service, reflected in the asking price!
tournesol74 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 which brand of preamp ? Emg ? Barto ? thanks

I do know Jon Shuker has his own preamp - I assume itās his own, but I donāt know. Sorry! The pickups are Bartolini.. Edited January 12, 2020 by Miker400
Miker400 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 http://shukerguitars.co.uk/price-guide/ Ā Ive been asked the cost of a new bass guitar of the type Iām selling! Just thought Iād put the above link to the Shuker website price guide. It gives prices for through neck and bolt neck designs. Take into account the one Iām selling is a 5-string through neck design with Bartoliniās. Prices start at Ā£2750.00 - Iād suggest that the one Iām selling would be over Ā£3000.00 NEW

binky_bass Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 If this was a 6 I would have spaffed my Jan bonus on this already! Someone will get a 'triffic deal here!
lownote Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Oh, my.Ā If that was an unlined fret-free I would be hunting down the back of the sofa for change.
therealting Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 This is the biggest bargain on this forum at the minute.Ā
binky_bass Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 This is definitely a fantastic deal, it still being hear just goes to show the current state of affairs in the pre-owned market place.

Woodinblack Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Very impressive thing, especially at the price,Ā lucky I am a long way around for me (and lucky I didn't see when it was 850!)Ā Ā
