throwoff Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) OK guys! I finally got the final quote etc and organised when I am sending the 40% to get my dream bass built. Even though I'm still waiting to pay there is already no backing out for me as I am literally wetting my pants with excitement! SO here it is the 'Hark Moppus' Signature! Bascially its a Mark Hoppus Fender sig but left handed! Plus I am having the hot pink colour like his models not the shell pink from the production ones and blue LED's just for the madness of it!. Alder J body Polyester basecoat Hot pink colour coat [url="http://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL_Colourchart.asp"]http://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL_Colourchart.asp[/url] - RAL 4010 Gloss finish White pearloid s/plate, inc control plate area Seymour Duncan quarterpounder P pickup volume control String thru fender style bridge P style neck 34"scale 20 frets jumbo fretwire maple neck rosewood f/board 9.5" radius two way truss rod p bass dimensions (1.625 nut) modern profile Blue LED front face markers MOP side dots schaller BML keys (fender style) Bone Nut satin lacquer finish I'm fairly certain this will be pretty much to no-ones taste! But its been my dream bass since I first started playing! Updates to come! Edited April 26, 2010 by throwoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a cack handed git at the best of times and having nothing more than a volume to worry about will no doubt assist me greatly! I'm glad I joined BC more than ever today if I hadn't I would never of learnt of Jon and his fantastic approach, I gotta say thus far his comms have been more than exemplary, making sure EVERY detail was 100% locked down. Plus come on! Its bright f***in pink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarhead Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'd love this, if you weren't left handed. It's a really cool design spec man, can't wait to see it finished. In 50 years ;D Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Your bass certainly isn't going to be mistaken for someone else's. That's going to be a great bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalmoore Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If you dont mind me asking, How much is it costing? As i am also thinking of a Shuker bass. Obviously i will understand if you dont want to post it. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) it took him a couple of weeks and he actually had to reforward and email he had already reforwarded once! You can tell by reading it that he tried to send it 3 times before I got it on the fourth! He has been having issues with his email.

I think it's more he's a technophobe than anything else [/quote] He gets a load of SPAM as his email address is just sat there plain as day on his website, it ain't SPAM protected in any way, so he gets 100s of unsolicited emails daily. As a result of that, his Junk Mail filter is set uber high which means he quite often misses emails, as they get accidentally junked. I did explain to him how to fix it, but he's obviously not had the time, but it'd save him a lot of time in the long run!... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a very underrated builder who appears to have only be heard of on Basschat lolz. Edited June 29, 2010 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too cack handed have a GEB-7 on the floor where all my boosting comes from[/quote] This will look great, Jon's building me a custom p at the mo (also an unusual spec) & I'm also going for a bog standard passive jazz in pink, he'll send you build pics if you ask him. If you have trouble getting a reply to emails he's also put his mobile number up on the site, brave man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I met him (and his ace dog) when I took a guitar in for some work. He's a great guy and I was in awe of his workshop. Makes me wish I tried a little harder at woodwork when I was in school! A friend also owns 2 Shuker basses, one of which I've played. It was a really beautiful instrument. I'm pretty sure it's the 2nd one down on the custom page of his site. There can't be that many 7 string Shuker basses like that with fretboard LEDs.
