I thought so. It's not been necessary yet, but it looks pretty straightforward.

Used maybe half a dozen times at home before I borrowed a German bow from my teacher and went down that path. Those that know more than me were surprised by how decent it is, nicely balanced and works well. These P&H bows can be rehaired at home, which was what attracted me in the first place. They sell the hanks and there's a video on their website showing you how. It's nice quality, which is why when I finally got around to replacing it, I replaced it with the German pattern version of the same bow. Always wiped down after use, and the hair is in good condition. PMT have a black Friday sale on them at the moment, and I'm pitching this well below that at 75 quid delivered to mainland UK https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/p-h-d-bass-bow-carbon-composite-ebony-frog-4-4-3-4?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2203_PMT_BAU_Search_Google+Ads_Performance+Max_Product_High+Volume&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgJa6BhCOARIsAMiL7V_OyFGfZQzu2ZNf718nLihDf6R48qBhJM-P9ZGoxs4JZFEKlyWEz_waAjuJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks for your kind comments. My apologies for not responding to them. I wasn't trying to be ignorant, it's just that I'd built up a bit of a queue, and didn't want to keep the thread up so it built up further. Shuker left for it's new home this afternoon.

Not quite. There seems to be a very slight radius towards the dusty end, but it is pretty flat.

This is way too good to be in storage, and I'm only really gigging on DB at the minute. Shuker Series 2, 5 string, built in 2007. 34 inch scale, 19mm string spacing, 4.2 kilos. Ash body with a Camphor Burl top, with matching headstock facing. Maple neck and board, with LED side dots for dark stages, and a brass nut. Wizard Soapbars with an 18v John East preamp, providing all the unnecessary tonal complication you could wish for... It seems there's not a sound that this thing can't make, it's insanely versatile. Oh, and a kill switch. Really good condition for a 17 year old bass, a little dulling and swirling in the lacquer here and there from finger wear, and only a few very small marks (see pics). Currently wearing a new set of D'Addario XL130s. Comes with a Shuker branded Hiscox hardcase, which while being properly intact, all hinges/catches present and working etc, could do with a bit of a refresh inside as it's a bit tired and musty through lack of use. If we had a bath, I'd have had it in there and given it a good shampooing. Having said that, I'm pretty fussy. I really don't want to get into posting this, I'd much rather have you come round and put it through it's paces, and see what it can do. £1100 Collected from Bushey, Herts. Cash or BT on collection please.

Pm incoming!

Realist Copperhead Pickup. In good condition, I bought it new and tried it for about a month, but it's a touch dark on my bass, so it's sat in a drawer since. 90 quid delivered to mainland UK
