FS/FT: Shuker Custom 4 - SOLD £1275

[Scooby]

Decided, finally, to part with my Shuker Custom 4. This Shuker is based on Jon's Horn bass series but with many custom features, which make it a very special bass indeed. For a start, the flame maple top sits beautifully under the transparent blue gloss with the matching flame maple fingerboard just adding to the aesthetics. The neck is a really nice, slim nine piece - wedge, paduak, maple - with white LED side inlays.
The full details are below but this is bass has custom designed electronics giving a 2 band eq with a P/J pup configuration. The tonal palette is extremely broad allowing you to achieve the typical P bass or jazz sounds with a wide variety in between. At 3.5kg's the bass is not only light but balances extremely well, making playing effortless. The bass was made in 2011 and is in mint condition - having hardly any playing time at all (I tend to use my Sei almost all of the time). The bass comes with a nice Shuker branded hard case. To have this bass made now - apart from at least a twelve month wait - would cost upwards of £2100 - £2400 (£1900 for the base model and then add custom pups, EQ, LED's, AAAAA Flame maple etc.

Anybody interested in a trade - my Shuker Custom for a Warwick NT4?

Or...something interesting in 4, 5 or possibly 6 string bass?
