String spacing is adjustable from 16.5 - 19mm. I have it set at 18mm.
Width at nut is a very easy to play 57mm
Finger board is almost flat
Strung with Ti Powerbass strings
Comes with two new batteries and a Yamaha case

I paid around £1200 for this bass with the upgrades over the last 9 months I have owned it. New build price would be £1700 - £2000.I gig it twice a month and it really is a fantastic bass. This is a rare opportunity to own an early Shuker.

Price is a very reasonable £775 collected. I can meet up half way.

Third one down.[/quote]


Thats the one...played by the previous owner the great James Crofts.

It now has an updated Shuker preamp ( so much better than the old MK1 ) and a new 45P pickup which Gives a very real P Bass sound.
