Yep. Even tho it needed major surgery... still this one..

Pleased to hear it still pleases you. Sometimes basses and guitars are not quite the same after repair. I have a brilliant godin A5 fretless. Split top and bridge pulling away. Came back better than ever from Bass Gallery.

I thought we'd see a Precision photo from you....

Oh I love a good precision. The 64 is a cracking bass.. but the Shuker is, even after repair, sublime as a fretless. There’s something about the tone you get from the combination of an under board jazz pickup with saddle piezos which creates a really rich sound that seems to cut through no matter the style of music

I do find the Shuker very appealing, a very good looking and functional design. Are the lighter patches wear, or part of the look? What was the repair?

The lighter patches are just patterns in the wood. 

The truss rod exploded and split the back of the neck. 

The whole neck was rebuilt as a result.. massive undertaking as well.

Lovely bass. I'm glad it worked out well for you.

Sandberg VM4. Probably too much bass for my limited chops but I like it a lot.

Bongo Bongo Bongo...

And one arrives this week to join my Sire V7. 
Always wanted a Bongo, they look mad, but I love them!

Those guys know how to put an instrument together. I've got a JM4 from back when they were still Fender shaped, it's a fantastic bass.
