redd Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Now £900 5 string Shuker for sale. My 'go to' bass for many years. Some marks on headstock and neck, little bit of belt rash on the back. Got my eye on something expensive which forces the sale. Update: just emailed Me Shuker with a few questions regarding the bass. He very kindly furnished me with the following reply: Shuker 5 string Series 2 bass 34” scale 24 frets 48mm nut width string spacing 19mm at bridge end 20.5mm neck depth at 1st fret 22.5mm at 12th shallow C carve Maple and wenge laminated neck birdseye fretboard brown mallee headstock veneer 2 way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement brass/phenolic laminated nut 6mm black face dots 2mm black side dots satin neck lacquer jumbo stainless fretwire? Gotoh GB707 tuners swamp ash body brown mallee drop top black veneer between top and body polyester basecoat gloss polyurethane topcoat Seymour duncan stacked J neck pickup Seymour Duncan MM pickup (series/single/parallel switching) Shuker 3 band eel, internal mid freq control ABM individual bridge units black hardware Think thats as much as i can tell! I thin it was originally built for a chap called Si Cox, must be 15-17 years ago I reckon. Based in Macclesfield, socially distanced plays available! (With Tea).
