molan Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Next instalment in the 1-a-day clear-out Here's a really nice John Shuker that was built to Mike's specifications a couple of years ago. His for sale thread is full of useful detail & great pics so rather than reproduce them all here I thought I'd just supply the link: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63490&hl=shuker"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...0&hl=shuker[/url] Just a great all round bass & a perfect gigging machine because it's so light and has all that on-board tonal flexibility. The LEDS, with the two position brightness control, are brilliant on a darkened stage as well Here's a couple of new pics just to whet your appetite: Edited October 7, 2010 by molan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Great seller, great bass. It is nice and light, I used to have some back problems (caused by my Vauxhall Vectra unbelievably) so Jon chose a nice piece of light white ash (I think) for me.

molan Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 This is going to be popping in to see John this week for a quick once over. It drained a battery very quickly, might have been a dodgy battery but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Still up for sale but won't be able to dispatch until John has checked to make sure he's 100% happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just a quick note about the battery I mentioned above. It's the LED circuit, which has an independent battery, that seemed to be draining power quickly not the main pre-amp power. John is going to take a look and, if there is a problem will sort it before the bass is sold. He was unable to make today but it should be cleared very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 candles Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Id love to buy this, but ive just recently brought a blue bass! Ive owned some shuker basses and can safely say the build quality is awesome buy with confidence, Barrie is very thorough and accurate with his descriptions and is a gentleman of the highest order.

It comes in at bang on 9lbs (maybe a fraction under but not much). I can honestly say that it 'feels' lighter on the strap - I have no idea how but it seems to balance so well that I would have guessed it to be a good half pound lighter!

molan Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Had a couple of interesting trade offers on this but nothing confirmed yet - happy to consider trades though. Especially for something that might be easy to sell like a US Fender or MusicMan or a Lakland Skyline etc. Here's another pic from Mike's original thread : Edited August 15, 2010 by molan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 LEDs all sorted - no problems at all Currently residing at Mr Shuker's workshop for a bit of truss-rod tweaking - action will be a killer when it comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
