ped Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wonderful, that. The colour and the hardware are fantastic. I am not so keen on the Shuker headstock, but I know he will make what you want! I hope it brings you years of faithful service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've finally, after much peer pressure from the likes of Dood, OldGit, BeLow and others and knowing it makes sense, decided to have one built. GAS is one demanding mistress!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Still digging your Shuker [b]Bassmonster[/b], it's gorgeous! I had to take it into photoshop and flip it to get a proper feel for it, as it's been built for a south paw, but it's one hell of a bass, the gun metal hardware looks so cool, I'm quite jealous! Nice work on succumbing to gas [b]Tinman[/b], you won't regret it! Cheers, Eude Edited May 18, 2007 by eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go for a different front and back tho and maybe some other small alterations, got to visit Jon first. I've made the first tentative enquiries and shal probably make an appointment for next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonster Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 ah...this one caught my eye as well, lovely instrument indeed...my GAS has been quashed for the moment, but i've a funny feeling my next bass could be shuker NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Can't wait to get over there and start discussing things with this maestro, looking through his wood store etc. I'll do the same as everyone and start a build thread at the right moment.

peted Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 The figuring on that is absolutely mesmerising. Another gorgeous Shuker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragility Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yummy! I had convinced myself until recently that I didn't need to ever buy another bass...but I know I'm just kidding myself, I need something yummy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cougar Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Bugger! Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the forum... I thought I left my GAS at Bassworld. (looks up the shuker website details) (calls to better half) "looks like we won't be getting a new bathroom this summer sweetie" --------------------------------- Mr Cougar - is wondering if the Maestro will do him a Jazz with a pair of MM humbuckers Edited June 4, 2007 by Mr Cougar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonster Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ah the GAS always get you sooner or later, i am sure Jon will do your spec, he'll pretty much do what you want, he wants his customers to get the bass they want, i see no reason why a double buck jazz would be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cougar Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I may have to shamelessly rip off your instrument Bass Monster. Purple is my favorite colour and that maple neck is so striking with the colour of the body. Love the lines of that instrument. Definitely gives me that elusive 'bass horn'. I'm sure she's a great player as well, guess that goes without saying when it comes to one of JS' instruments. If you don't mind can I ask how much it cost, PM me if you don't want it to be public knowledge, think my spec would be similar so you would be doing me a favour. --------------------------------------- Mr Cougar - has so much GAS you could strap a basket to his ass and use him as a hot air balloon.

steve-soar Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 This bass has an understated beauty and the bonus of being left handed. I wont ask if it will ever be for sale as refusal often offends. The leds are gorgeous. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
