Shuker Singlecut - Buckeye Burl - *SOLD* £1250 Norwich

[andybassdoyle]

Another beauty but need some cash...

 

This is not the most recent listing but has a super level of detail and background info on the bass:

 

 

Current pictures for perspective:

 

 

 

Plays itself pretty much, a total joy. I've got the bass strung E-C at the moment with a medium action - enough to start the strings nicely but still quick. spacing is around 18mm, it will go a little wider or tighten if you choose.

 

Has the Shuker preamp. It's very good - some 'give you flexiblity' but in reality you have to chase a few good tones and the rest suck. The Shuker pre just seems to augment the natural tone of the bass.

 

Comes with a Shuker case but shipping is extra. Btw if E-C is not your thing I will happily set the bass up B-G if you would prefer that tuning. The nut is brass but is cut nicely so works with either tuning unless perhaps you wanted to use some really unusually string gauges.

 

Anyhoo - pricing to sell so no offers or trades please.

 

Cheers!

I sold this and it was exquisite in every way. Think the retail price would be around £3k

[andybassdoyle]

Thanks Burns-bass - that doesn't surprise me at all. It is a serious instrument, definately up there with the best big brands I've played down the years.

 

For the avoidance of any doubt this shouldn't be viewed as 'too good to be true' - I'm asking what I paid for it less quick sale discount of my own. Keeping the love in the forum or at least trying to.

 

And the unavoidable cliche - if want I'm looking at sells I'll probaby withdraw it. Whilst I'm mainly gigging on 4 string Ps these days I would not feel myself without a decent E-C bass....

As long as you’re feeling yourself in private, we don’t mind if you need a bass or not to do so; feeling yourself in public might have penal consequences.

This was mine for a little while and it is a stunning bass! Very generous price as well Andy. Trying very hard to not make another impulse bass buy this month... 

[MuddBass]

Hi. May I please ask if the bridge is recessed into the face of the body, or is it flush with the face?

So the plate of the bridge is sunk into the body - it's a really nice design. The bridge saddles are where you'd expect them to be of course to position adjust the seating of the strings

 

I will take some current shots tomorrow in decent light and show this a little more clearly

[iMilanek]

I have got one of those and they are just awesome!

[andybassdoyle]

Additional pictures now added. It's a beaut, needs must though....

Shipping is possible matey 

 

and yes, frets 25 and 26 probably don’t see as much use as 1-7!

[Quatschmacher]

@andybassdoylehave you used this beast with your FI? I imagine it’s pretty cool with the extended range.

[andybassdoyle]

yes I have and yes it is! it would be even cooler if the FI was poly for chords and stuff

 Thanks but really need to try before I buy nowadays - too many disappointments..

[iMilanek]

Hi, what a great bass! Is it still available?

[HenryH]

Pretty much as close to my dream bass as I reckon I could get without going the custom route myself 😬😬😬 

GLWTS!
