Scooby Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Just a tentative feeler at the moment but I need to consider selling my very recent purchase of this piece of Shuker loveliness. The bass hasn't left the house since it arrived and has only been played a couple of times. The spec is: Shuker 4 string horn bass 33"scale 24tret maple and wenge laminated neck rosewood f/board two way trussrod carbon fibre reinforced neck 2mm white side dots simulated mother of pearl block markers buckeye burr headstock veneer gotoh gb7O7 tuners satin neck lacquer medium fretwire swamp ash body buckeye burr drop top polyester basecoat satin top coat individual bridge units Delano JCAL& MCAL pickups Seymour Duncan 3 band e q Graphite black hardware nutwidth- 41mm 12th fret width-56mm – depth of neck at 1st fret 20.1mm depth of neck at 12th fret- 21.8mm 16"radius As you can see it's a beautiful piece of craftmanship. I'm only looking for the price I paid, which is [size=2][b]£925[/b][/size]. This includes the case, which was bought new with the bass. [attachment=71684:IMG_0154.JPG] [attachment=71685:IMG_0155.JPG] If circumstances change I might be interested in a trade...

Scooby Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 [quote name='KERMITNT' post='1121205' date='Feb 9 2011, 11:59 AM']wow whats the weight of this beauty ??????[/quote] Weight-wise (I have an aversion to scales as they have a tendency to lie about my weight), the Shuker is much lighter than my Sei 4 NT and my Goodfellow Player. It's also about half the weight of a Thumb 4 NT! I'd be guessing but it must be around the 8lb mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larmer Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Whoa, this has to be the most beautiful Shuker I've seen to date. Best of luck with the sale! I wish I had the dough, unless you're interested in a trade? I have a headless SKC Bogart Blackstone bass up for grabs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one from the site with a few added tweaks/mods to my requirements. The Hiscox ABS case was bought brand new at the same time and the asking price is only what I eventually paid. I'll give the bass a couple of days and then clear out the attic, put it all on the bay and see if I can keep hold of the Shuker ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
