New Bass (kind of)
So... I picked her up today!!
http://photobucket.com/albums/y20/jamie_pyrite/Monica/  ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! Much much better than I expected (not that I expected little from Jon Shuker!!) but it sounds amazing with the active EMGs (massive sound difference compared to EMG-HZs), the neck feels absolutely brilliant. It feels earthy and natural like a warwick, but has the slim and fast profile of a jazz bass. I couldn't possibly be happier! Jon is a really nice guy and we ended up chatting for ages about allsorts! From cars to shipping and taxes from America! Very very knowledgable man and I was very very impressed by all the other basses he had there. If you're ever in Sheffield, give him a ring and go and see him if just for a chat and a try of his basses  Also, ALEX: Did you get my text? Any questions or thoughts on it (good or bad!) ask/speak away! -Jamie NEW PICS UPLOADED. CLICK LINK ABOVE! Last edited by Jamie; 03-04-2006 at 06:03 PM. |

Congrats on the bass! And the girl?
 It's a shame that you give your bass a name.. May God have mercy on your soul! |

It looks a little different!
Although I'm not a huge fan of the headstock... Last edited by Chris K; 03-02-2006 at 03:30 PM. |

No, they're not his. They're from Shuker's shop.
Congrats Jamie! That's so amazing. EDIT: To Bryce |

Anyone else think it looks like a Schecter with the exception of the headstock?
Sure, you'll buy one from him but not from me. I could have given you 3 times the bass for the same price.  Kidding.Nice bass by the way. |

It is. He just had a neck built for his Schecter.
