Wow, that looks absolutely fantastic.

Great bass! Cannot beat white IMO. Classic.

I fancy something very similar, but in Sonic or Daphne blue with matching headstock and a 72 style scratch plate.

Would you mind PMing me the cost of your build?

Thanks

Best ask Jon himself but because most of the cost is labour and because he's not VAT registered AND there's no import duty and freight charges, a Shuker build is exceptionally good value. Plus, I paid in monthly direct debits that were small enough not to miss, so there's no need to find a lump sum all of a sudden. His email address is jon @ shukerguitars.co.uk

NB: Jon's got a stand at Bass Day, so I recommend folk come along and chat with him then (his phone signal's crap during the day at his workshop anyway).

By the power of Larry Graham's thumb that is a beautiful instrument!!! Wow. Stunning.

I think I need to sit down with a nice cup of tea now.

Now I've cleaned myself up I can't stop looking at this, it's sooo lovely. I reckon Jon will have to put photos of this on his gallery pages, but that'll mean anothr change of underwear

Thumptastic! What a glorious piece of work. Just don't take it outside when it's snowing, or you'll never find it.
Congrats.

I'm not one for P-type basses really, but that one has stopped me in my tracks. Everything about it is just absolutely right, and to be honest I think it sets a whole new standard. I really think it looks that good. OK, opinion of P basses duly amended.

Man I hope you have a white suit to wear with this

+1: I'd hit that. I particularly like how they've made the two pickup coils symmetrical rather than the daft looking 3+2 arrangement on Fender P5s.

Simply stunning. I may have to copy you and invest in some white pick up covers and scratchplate.

Just wanted to say, that the neck is fantastic to play ...really easy to get around with the profile Jon's carved, and a low action to boot.

The East pre-amp is er ...less than subtle. Considering there's only one pickup, there is an amazing range of sounds that can be dialled in. However, there's lots of ways of modifying the East by sliding switches inside to different frequencies. Plus, I'm still trying to remember which control does what to what other variable, if you know what I mean. So, until I've mastered that, I'll not pass judgement. There's always the Passive Switch

That is one sexy mofo of a bass. Can I have it for Christmas?
