This is a rare item - it's an original Shergold bass neck for either a Marathon or Modulator 6 String bass. I bought it as NOS and it is one of the final 6 string necks produced. This is unfinished but drilled for machine heads. The neck also includes a truss rod cover (there is a serial number stamped under this) and the heel has the name Shergold stamped in ink. Pics to follow.
I decided against it as on closer inspection I wondered if it were possibly NOS? No serial number plate is odd and the lack of position markers on the fretboard made me think it may have originally been fretless. A rarity however and £460 is pretty good going for a Modulator.
They are not much more than that price new!

I have one used it as a backup for my Fender 50s MIJ the quality is superb and the necks are spot on, mines for sale on here now as the project I was using it for has finished. All the CV stuff is great value for money, I wish they'd been around when I started playing.

Hey Ash, short answer is I don't know. I can't see any number on the guitar... I'll find out and get back to you.

Cheers pal!
He rewound a Rickenbacker pickup for me and sorted out the wiring harness, good price, good guy to deal with, although it wasn't the quickest service it provided good results.
