Sean.Robinson Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) I dont know if anyone has made a post on this already but has anyone noticed the updated stock page on the Shuker website. Personally the new 'uberhorn' has made me reassess how much i need a car i cant get over it i also hope its a new stock shuker shape To save the time of looking at the site heres the two new beauties; 'Uberhorn' Single Cut Edited July 10, 2009 by Sean.Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Jon sent me an email the other day mentioning the Uberhorn, he said it was a bit of an experiment that might make it through to the final line up. I really like the look of it, personally. Although the bottom cutaway could use a little tweak to make the cutaway a tad less deep perhaps.

I can see what you mean about the lower horn, i quite like but im probably biased by the picture being theyre as is. The whole shape to me seems a bit like a refined ritter and i hope its not just me who sees that otherwise i may look a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I prefer his usual body shape-but then I'm not a big one for huge elongated horns like that (they don't give me the horn! ) I've said it before-I don't think that headstock goes with those body shapes-you've got that lovely, streamlined, swooping body with a squat, ugly headstock IMHO. I expect he'd elongate it somewhat if asked, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that one is cut a little deeply I do like the look of the Uberhorn though, especially that piece of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) A 5-string Uberhorn with an extended lower cutaway might just tempt me to consider a Shuker... Edited July 11, 2009 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey R Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The Uberhorn would be near perfect if it was headless... And I love the inlay work on the singlecut. Just so simple! And the quilted top with the burst is rather nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lylodile Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 For once I think a single cut looks nice . I'd get a 4 string one though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOwens Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I love the Uberhorn fingerboard. The colours are so tasteful too. I'm usually a painted-finish guy but wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraktal Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If I had the money I would order a 5 string uberhorn just right now. Thats class, style and good taste in a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Probably about a year ago, I wasn't a fan at all of singlecuts, but I'm liking them more and more. Than one absolutely nails it for me. Absolutely gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullrangebass Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I am a fan of Jon's basses and I really like both designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Saw the uberhorn last week on his website, I nearly had a wet daydream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
