The natural mid range is very MM like, but has quite a bit more spank in the high frequencies. It's a lively bugger! It was designed to be that way, but as you can hear from that jazz piece that I put together it warms up beautifully and the mid range still shines very clearly and produces a very nice growl. Very versatile for a single pick up bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrT-Bass Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Shizznit, they're both Buck-eye Burl...I totally agree. If I hadn't needed to sell the Elite, it would still be with me! The Jazz makes up for the loss in more ways than one Your Uberhorn looks great...I remember watching it unfold on the build diary. The reverse headstock looks interesting. Did you decide to do it for the string tension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like more tension on the lighter strings, but the primary reason was that I love reversed headstocks. I'm a big Hendrix fan! I have owned a couple of guitars with reverse headstocks, but never a bass. I have two more Shuker builds in the pipeline. A 4 string J and a 5 string bass for recording (haven't decided which model yet). Jon and I have already discussed the jazz and I should be placing that order with him very soon. That will have a reverse headstock too! The other bass can wait until next year as I am not desperate for it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Here is my Uberhorn 5. I bought it on here in a fit of GAS. It came with a bridge pickup and an ACG filter pre. I knew that I loved the instrument but I also could not get on with the electrics. I sold it and had sellers remorse about 12 months later. I tracked it down through the internet and bought it back. I sent it back to Jon to have the neck pickup routed and got a pair of pickups made my Aaron Armstrong. They both house 1 J pickup and half a P pickup so, in the words of Hannah Montana, I have the best of both worlds. The controls are Vol/Tone/Dummy/Dummy with a 5 way selector in the middle giving various options of combinations. The pickups are close enough together to make the halving of the P pickup a non issue. I have brought the pickups up to be almost touching the strings which gives me the ramp thing. I had some Luminlay markers put into the side of the neck. I am not convinced that light side dots + maple was my best idea ever. [URL=http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150328_144321_zpsmy4oy6tl.jpg.html][IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a49/peredur/Mobile%20Uploads/20150328_144321_zpsmy4oy6tl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The first time I saw an Uberhorn I knew I would eventually own one because the aesthetic is just so well balanced. It has also introduced me to the 33" scale which I am loving. I had always been Mr 35" but this has proved that there are always alternatives. While I am at it here is a Shuker body which I picked up on here and then had Firecreek make up a neck, huge pickup cover and do general routing screwing together stuff. I fell in love with a rosewood neck in some Alpher pictures so that is what I had made. The fingerboard is part of the orginal rosewood plank and is extended because the hole was there but there was no point fretting it up there due to access so it acts as a nice ramp.

Cameronj279 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Apologies for the crappy quality pictures but here's the Shuker Elite 6 that I briefly very owned. Fantastic bass and sounded huge but I'm just more at home on a 5 string. Edited July 23, 2015 by Cameronj279 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
