FS: Fender/Shuker Bitsa Jazz Bass (make me an offer!) - *SOLD* £750 Cambridge

[PMAC]

Happy to consider cash offers! I've decided that I'm not interested in trading as I have something in particular in my sights, thanks.

 

A bit of an unusual one! I bought this bass made from high quality parts from the Bass Gallery for just shy of £800 (in old money 😆) last year: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/shaker-neck-jazz-bass-body

 

EDIT: Full specs according to the original owner, @77Bass. Thanks Craig!

 

- Shuker Custom Neck - 33” scale, rock maple, satin finish (slightly worn), 2mm side dots, carbon fibre reinforcement, two way truss rod, spalt rosewood fingerboard, flat radius, slight asymmetric carve, medium, Stainless Steel Frets

- 38.5mm Graphite Nut

- Hipshot D-Tuner

- Fender Jazz Body

- 2 x Di Marzio DP 149 Ultra Jazz Pickups (hum-cancelling)

- Pickups Mounted In Adjustable Rosewood Ramp (flat radius/profile to match the fingerboard)

- Babicz FCH Bridge

- Weight: I don't have a scale unfortunately. It feels like an average jazz, I'd say on the lighter side of average. Definitely not a heavy bass. 

- Overall condition: obviously relic'ed, but this is only cosmetic. No structural issues, everything is solid. The bass stays in tune well by experience.

 

Collection in Cambridge preferred. I'm also in North London fairly often. Shipping is possible but there is no case with this bass. 

 

Thanks!

Jon's work is always top drawer, that neck will be superb!

Thank you Craig! So good to have you reply, the Gallery didn't know much about the bass when I bought it so it was a bit of investigating to figure out the details. To be honest I didn't realise it was a 33" neck, I never did measure it! Were you the one who did the work to the body?

[77Bass]

You’re so welcome! I’m really sorry that they said that they never knew much about it, I sent all of the above specs over to them.

 

Yeah, I did more relicing but the body was quite worn from years of heavy gigging and touring (I used that bass touring with Clean Cut Kid in 2017), so I decided to relic it a little bit more!

Great stuff. Thanks again for the help. It's a great bass and I'm happy to be able to describe it properly!
