Doc B Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm a big fan of Peter Hook's bass playing and would really like to get a 6 string that would allow me to get close to the sound of his Shergold and play chords easily. As far as I can see the Shergold 6ers are as rare as rocking horse sh!t So I'm wondering if any one can suggest an affordable alternative? I had a Danelectro baritone that I had modified to be strung E-E but it was too 'twangy' for what I wanted and lacked sustain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmickey Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 In my experience, there's nothing around like a Shergold 6er - even the fender 6s just didn't sound the same - there was one that I wanted in one of the origional shops I hung out in as a teen bum ('94, they were a veritable treasure trove of Jap copies of rickers and the like AND had a Shergold Double Neck GuitBass, rare as f***), but even then it was too expensive for my tender teen pockets. Maybe a p.m. to Captain Japcrap might be in order - he may be able to suggest something eastern that may get the job done :ph34r: Good luck!!!!
