Sibob Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) So my poor Shuker Custom Electric Upright has been sitting in its case for a while now, having not had an upright gig in a long time. Obviously i can take pics although am just wondering what people think at the mo. The spec is the standard one found on John's website, although the body on mine looks deeper then his gallery pics, it's made from African Mahogany with an Imbuya Burl top and matching headstock, is 36" scale and has the Schertler transducer pickup system. The fingerboard is unmarked but has dots and lines on the side. It attaches to the supplied tripod stand The bass is in fantastic, almost mint condition apart from a couple of very very minor scuffs on the top of the headstock. It would come with the Shuker softcase and a bow, which, IIRC is a Stentor brazilwood w/ebony frog 3/4 bow costing about £120 new. Collection only as i would urge people to try it! It cost £1375 NEW + Bow = £1495 I would want around [b]£900[/b] for this or see possible trade list in post below Cheers for looking Si p.s. forgot to mention, theres a video on my personal myspace of me bowing the bass for Gabby Young, listen through headphones or decent speakers!

Sibob Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) Monthly bump Trades I'd be potentially interested in with cash my way: - an amp head around the same kinda spec/size/weight/value (£250-£300ish) as an Ashdown ABM500 EVO II and/or - Sansamp DI box Long shot, but if you never ask...................

Sibob Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Cheers Steve, yeah it's an amazing piece of kit, but I'm simply not using it at the mo, and it deserves to be used! I like to try and turn the bits of gear I'm not using into bits of gear i use all the time Had some interesting offers, keep 'em coming!!

rhodri Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey, New member just signed up just to look at EUB's and saw this page. I'm an acoustic player just looking for something which will have an authentic acoustic bass sound but which is obviously much more trasportable! I'd prefer to try out anything before I bought, whereabouts do you live? Or possibly is there any shops anywhere where I could try the same model out? I also have a four string Ibanez fretless which coz me £400 two and a half years ago which I might be interested in using in some sort of deal.... Thanks, Rhodri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cougar Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'd bloody love this but I've promised myself I won't get anything else new until I get rid of my 05 Stingray. Mind you it's been here a while so here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeatNut Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Do you mind me asking what strings you have on that ? Looks like plastic/nylon wrap rather than steel. If I'm right, how do you find them ? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) They're just steel Flat's of some sort as far as I can tell, but then I haven't knowingly played plasic/nylon wraps to compare. They're very easy to play, smooth obviously, loads of bottom end with some blossoming but subtle 'mwah' when you need it. Because the pickup is a transducer rather than a magnetic, I'm pretty sure you could use whatever strings you wanted though!
