Risk101 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I do not need another Shuker, I do not need another Shuker 😂😂 Fantastic basses and this one looks sublime! Weight and balance great and they play beautifully.

For me, the price of new mass produced basses (eg Fender) at the moment makes this bass even more of a bargain, but I do seem to enjoy adding instruments to my “should never have sold that” list. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playbass Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I might be tempted by a trade involving a lightweight four-string jazz. Or possibly even a PJ… maybe, not sure… W.H.Y.? Edited November 6, 2022 by playbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
