    Caught you red handed! :lol:

    I just measured the width of the nut and it's the same as my Edwards jazz bass which measures roughly 38 mm (1.5 inches)

  2. [quote name='fraff' post='892716' date='Jul 12 2010, 12:47 PM']I love jazz necks. Wish I hadn't asked now - or at least wish my wallet could afford this :)[/quote]

    It's got your name written all over it :rolleyes:

  3. [quote name='fraff' post='892653' date='Jul 12 2010, 11:33 AM']+101 That's an amazing looking bass - good luck with it!

    Out of interest, what width is the neck at the nut? I'm guessing pretty much Ricky size from the pics?

    Hi Fraff,

    The width is very similar to a jazz bass, it does feel the same as my Edwards Jazz bass from Japan. Unfortunately I have no experience with Ricks but I could get some measurements on the nut width later this evening :)

    Thanks for the comments all! I hate to part with this bass but all I can keep thinking about is building an even more unique bass from Mr Shuker :rolleyes:

  4. [quote name='spaz91' post='888264' date='Jul 7 2010, 12:09 PM']I'm going for an Anniversary Rickenbacker clone. I've heard soundclips and they're pretty close to the real thing.

    Of course I'll be saving up for another ATK too! I originally wanted a 5 string but it was that or a 4 string and an amp.[/quote]

    I was going to say I have an upside down Rickenbacker shaped bass for sale which I haven't listed on here yet. It's made by a Japanese company called Killer :) Only problem is it's jazz pickups otherwise would of attempted to tempt you into it :rolleyes:

  5. [quote name='spaz91' post='886221' date='Jul 5 2010, 12:40 PM']I'll trade it if the right offer comes along, unfortunately my requirements are way above what's reasonable so I will be keeping it. :lol:[/quote]

    A good choice! Would of kept this bass if I didn't like my main bass more than the ATK :) What are you after if you don't mind me asking? :rolleyes:

  6. [quote name='spaz91' post='883972' date='Jul 2 2010, 02:02 PM']Ibanez ATKs are among the best production models for less than a grand. I've compared mine to stingrays and the ATK won! BUY THIS GODDAMN BASS ^_^[/quote]

    Amen to that comment! :) Thanks Spaz91! Have you decided to keep your ATK yet?

  7. Cheers for the reply Shaggy. I just remembered my friends classical guitar is an Ebony fretboard and he's knocked the guitar around as well but yet the fretboard is still as smooth as butter with no markings.

    [quote name='Rich' post='883812' date='Jul 2 2010, 11:18 AM']My old fretless Jaydee Roadie had/has an unfinished ebony board... in the 20-ish years I owned it, I never did anything to it other than polish it occasionally. Absolutely no cracking and very little marking even, despite the fact that I always used roundwounds. It's brilliant stuff.[/quote]

    How would you compare Ebony to Rosewood in your own experience? I mean do you need to polish rosewood occasionally as well because I never polish my basses that have rosewood fretboards.

  8. So after selling my Ibanez ATK300 and another bass that I will list shortly... I'm raising funds to buy a Shuker bass. I want the fretboard to have a dark and tight grain feel.

    One of the options is having an Ebony fretboard, I've heard it's alot smooth to play on and the colour is more consistant than Rosewood which can vary throughout the fretboard.

    However I have also heard Ebony tends to crack easier and requires more maintenance compared to Rosewood? Is this the case or not?

    If I get the Ebony fretboard satin finished, it would be less harder to crack and requiring less maintenance right?

    Thanks all! :)

  9. [quote name='merello' post='882243' date='Jun 30 2010, 06:13 PM']You are off your nut offering the bass and case for that price! :rolleyes:
    Best of luck! Incredible deal for someone.[/quote]

    What can I say... summer clearout! Get it while you can! :)

    Cheers Merello!
