Shuker P (Precision) bass, 38.5mm nut - FINAL REDUCTION £1850 £2250 Sheffield

[Quatschmacher]

A lovely bass and a fine example of Jon’s craftsmanship, completed February 2023. A chance to pick one up without the insanely long wait times. (This took 14 months; some folks’ builds are up to 3 years now.)

 

It’s in pristine condition, just a bit of “finger dust”.

 

Now you’re probably asking yourself why I’m listing this. I have 3 P basses now and the other two are the same model as each other (one with flats, one with rounds) and 41.3mm nut width. I’m finding it easier to swap between those as the widths are the same. Also, despite my wanting a narrow-nut P bass again, I’ve finally come to appreciate and enjoy the slightly wider string spacing (only taken me 30 years)!

 

The specs are as follows:
 

34" scale;

20 frets;

38.5mm nut width;

19mm string spacing;

21.5mm neck depth at 1st fret;

23.5mm at 12th;

shallow C carve;

 

Mastergrade quarter-sawn, roasted flame maple neck;

rosewood fretboard;

Rolled fingerboard edges;

 

9.5" radius board;

2-way truss rod;

carbon fibre reinforcement;

medium jumbo stainless steel fretwire;

bone nut;

2mm cream side dots;

6mm cream face dots;

 

satin finish on the neck;

Schaller BM clover leaf tuners chrome;

Hipshot triple string tree chrome;

 

traditional P shape;

alder;

usual contours;

reduced heel with recessed fixings (no plate);

polyester basecoat;

 

Olympic White;

Tort/white/black/white 4-ply pick guard (traditional P shape);

 

ABM 3704c19 bridge;

Fralin (stock wound) pickup;

 

volume / tone knobs (domed chrome, with small, discreet dot markers);

 

Schaller strap locks;

 

Shuker embossed Hiscox hardcase.

 

Currently strung with Chromes 50-105 with super-low, buzz-free action.

 

The in-joke decal is just a transfer and so can be easily removed according to Jon.

 

Still has the cellophane on the pick guard. 

 

Collection from Sheffield. (For this sale, I’ll only deal with members who have a verifiable history/feedback record on here - no newly signed-up members, thanks.)

 

I could potentially hand deliver to the Bath/Bristol area (only for a completed sale).

 

The only bass trades I’d consider are these:

 

Fender American Professional II Precision;

 

Fender American Standard Precision (2012-2016 ones with the CS60 pickups).

 

Any related questions, please ask.

Bargain.

[Quatschmacher]

Would consider a very near offer. 

[Kev]

So many beautiful basses for sale at the moment, this is lovely 😍

[Quatschmacher]

Will consider sensible offers. 

[Quatschmacher]

Seriously, make me a sensible offer. I’ll likely say yes as I’m about to splurge on something else. 

[clarkpegasus4001]

That is a beauty!

[Woody1957]

Jon Shuker is the man! This bass will look and play beautifully without question. Glwts.

[Quatschmacher]

I’m willing to entertain posting if the current lack thereof is putting off potential buyers. The Hiscox case should offer good protection in transit. I could probably get a bicycle box from a reasonably local shop to package it in.

 

I would leave it up to the buyer to sort the courier though. (I used this arrangement successfully for the last bass I sold recently.)

Temporary reduction to £1999 only while something else I have my eye on is available.

It’s gone so the temporary price reduction is now no longer in force.

Just noticed in another thread that you were eyeing up a second Shuker so thought I’d draw your attention to this one.

Hah, thanks! I had noticed it a while back but beautiful as it is it's a bit too ££ for me.
