Burns-bass

Exceptional bass, and a wonderful seller with exquisite taste.

I spoke with one dealer who said they value instruments based on their intrinsic value (not necessarily who has played it). Taking that into account, EB-Os like this are around £5,000 in the States and very rare. Add the original case and you’re looking at more than the asking price here. Exceptionally rare bass, faultless provenance and I want it.

What a fascinating bass!

After a successful social distances handover of a bass, I’m willing to meet up to deliver or swap. My preference is either a vintage (Or reissue) Fender jazz or Precision of some sort, active boutique bass (Sadowsky, Xotic etc) or a string ray. Cash either way is fine as my bass fund has been replenished!

Still here!

Still here!

Didn’t know Mr Shuker was a member here, but I’m very grateful for your interjection. Thanks for your help!

It’s 34”

Lockdown bump. Will trade this in PX for a Stingray or active bass (Xotic, Sadowsky) or more expensive Fender. Theres a Precision shaped hole in my collection...

Here is my stupendous Shuker single cut in sparked ash with a tiger stripe finish. This was bought by me on here in January and has since then spent much of its time in the case as I don't really play electric much, let alone 5 string basse. The bass is in good condition, although there are some playwear marks. At some point it's been professionally refretted. When I bought it, I had it completely stripped and set up with D'addario chromes and it's now singing like a boutique 5 string should. It's hard to see the marks on the hypnotically beautiful maple top, but I've pictured them where possible. The nobs are a little faded, but replacements are only a few pounds (and can be supplied if required). Action is low and set up beautifully. The pickups are Bartolini's and the preamp is the Shuker original I believe. I can take the back off and picture it when there aren't kids buzzing around. The active electronics can be set to passive by lifting one of the knobs. A nice feature. The sounds you can get from this bass are incredible. It comes with a Hiscox case and I'm able to send it worldwide. I'm interested in trades and have something of a Fender fetish, but also interested in Sadowsky and Xotic and the like. Send me what you've got and we can go from there. I’d love a vintage reissue Precision or jazz, preferably in Candy apple red! Sale price reduced to £1150 Pics below, shout me if you need more. I'm off to do some work!
