Thanks[/quote]

I'll try to weigh it too.

Okay, dunetune_jazz has dibs on this but I want to get detailed photos of all the little marks etc. before I can agree a sale with a clear conscience. Will post the photos up here and let you know if it doesn't go.

Thanks,

Graham

I want to be realistic - I bought it in 2003 when Mr Shuker was still gaining a name so it wasn't as dear as they are now, plus I have to take account of some of the wear and tear plus the fact that it's pretty heavy is also a negative which ought to be reflected in the price TBH.

Slight test of the water - I've not been playing for a while and it's likely that when I do get back in to it, I'll be doing so on my sparkly 4 string L2000. This Shuker was a bit of an extravagant graduation gift to myself; I took delivery on 20th August 2003 but it's not exactly had heavy usage in that time.

Spec, to the best of my knowledge (I'll have to check to see where I recorded all the info), is as follows:

- Wenge body with quilted maple top - satin finish
- Indian rosewood board, no front markers (MOP markers on side), brass nut
- 35" scale neck, 5 piece maple/wenge construction with a shallow profile and narrowish string spacing at 17mm - I have small hands and wanted something along the lines of a modulus quantum 6 to make it a bit less daunting for me to play!
- EMG single coils, 3 band eq with stacked bass/treble and sweepable mids (stacked control) + separate blend and vol.
- Individual bridge pieces, gotoh tuners, brass nut.
- Dunlop straplocks installed.

It sounds suitably great thanks to the wenge body (like a Warwick thumb but with a bit more clarity in the growlyness) but one negative side of that is that it's a heavy beast, so not one for those with back troubles and ideally needs to be used with a nice wide strap.

For the moment I have only the one photo taken when new; I will dig out other photos and also try to take some new ones which reflect the used condition - there are one or two dings to the headstock and the satin finish has glossed up a bit where I rest my thumb but otherwise it's still in damn good nick.

I'd be looking for offers around £650 without a case; or alternatively it currently resides in a dogs testes incase gig bag which is in absolutely mint condition which I'd consider including for an extra £100. Alternatively, you can have it in a G&L hard shell case for an extra £50. Finally, if you can't be arsed to sort it yourself, I can order a proper Shuker hardshell case for it and add only £75 to the price.

It's currently in storage in Birmingham, but I live in Bristol so would need a bit of advance notice to make arrangements for a test ride! Anyway, there it is, I'm not in any great hurry to sell and don't mind if it doesn't go at all but I'd rather it went to someone on here than ebay or similer (I've been of this parish a while but it's been a couple of years since I've posted. Ask ahpook for a reference!)

All the best,

Graham

[quote name='martindupras' post='710357' date='Jan 12 2010, 06:08 PM']Hiya,

I'm in Bristol too. Assuming you're reasonably central (I'm in Knowle) would you accept £40 cash if I collected it in person?

Cheers,

Martin, it's yours. PM on the way.

Just the Loooper left - feel free to make me an offer.

Mostly sold - just waiting to hear on the loooper from one person - so £5 donation made to the basschat kitty. Thanks everyone for buying and saving me from adding to ebay's modest profits.

[quote name='cm261' post='708277' date='Jan 10 2010, 10:19 PM']That a recent pic of the looper? Looks to be in absolutely perfect cosmetic condition, that accurate? One last q, will it take a battery as well as an adapter?

Cheers mate.[/quote]

Taken just the other day. It's pretty much mint - always kept on a pedalboard - despite being about 10 years old. I'm afraid it won't take a battery, although I'm sure that it would be an easy modification to make. It works fine without power, you just risk getting a little lost as the indicator lights obviously don't work!

Prices dropped on last two items - I'll leave them up here a week or so before resorting to the dreaded 'bay.

Adjusted the Loooper price seeing as it's a little bit 'bespoke'.

Those must be rare as rocking horse sh*t.

RAT sold pending payment, cheers Ash!

Loooper 2 loop switcher - two separate selectable loops (switch between A/, loop combine switch (wired in parallel) and tuner mute/send. All hard wired true bypass switches, top quality with LED indicators for switches (requires standard centre -ive 9v supply). See [url="http://www.loooper.com/"]http://www.loooper.com/[/url] for more details. SOLD

On hold for the Dundee man - I can wait until June no worries.

...adn SOLD

...and some pics:

Just a quick bump to tell you all that I'll be away from tomorrow morning but will reply to any messages etc. by next Sunday.

Cheers,

Graham

Just consider it too far to travel

First post here in a loooong time as I've just not been playing much at all and haven't found a band to play bass in since moving to Brizzle.

Brand new Bergantino NV610, it's been used a few times at rehearsals but never gigged in anger. I think there's one very small mark from getting it in/out the car before I got the cover for it. Cover is nice custom made jobbie with holes for handles and shorter back so that it doesn't interfere with the wheels.

£850 collection from Bristol or can arrange delivery/meet up depending on location and level of ball ache! I'm in Birmingham regularly if that helps.

Drop me a PM if interested (I check emails most evenings).

That is pretty damn sweet. Tempted but I could only do a trade (Shuker 6 that weighs a ton!). Good luck with selling it!

That's the ugliest amp sleeve I have ever seen in my entire life. Amp looks pretty sweet though.

That's what galls me about my 6 string. Although it's my own fault for spec'ing a wenge obdy and 35" scale, it was only ever going to be monstrous.... sounds great though

I love my little studio combo but don't think I'd go for it as a head as I reckon the little 10" speaker in a sealed box has as much to do with the sound quality as the amp/modelling if not more.

You know, I'm really not sure that Acme cabs will get on very well with a valve head. Just a feeling from my experiences of valve amps with cabs that rely heavily on their porting for low end, they all just farted out really quick. That said, the extra excursion on the acme drivers would probably ease that somewhat. Just a hunch really (I used to have a B2).

Besides, all my experiments with bi-amping ended up sounding either no different or worse than the full range signal - I strongly suspect that this will ring true for most modern cabs unless they have been specifically designed to work that way (like GK's).

It's not all that simple - depends on how the crossover is sorted etc. I'd get in touch with Schroeder. Also, you'd need a 4 pole speakon or a second jack to connect it up. You would need to 'unwire' the cab internally!
