benbastin Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Up for sale is this Shuker Fretless. Its one of his older basses. But still in great condition. Nice Birdseye Neck, i think it looks like wenge body, but not sure. Wood pickup cover. The only non original part is the bridge which was changed before i got it. The preamp is interesting, its a series of mid's, this is what Mr Shuker told me about it "a dual mid circuit, if thats the case there should be two mid boost / cut controls and two mid freq controls." Great bass, but built myself a fret less p, and need to get some space back here. Got it for a song, so im just looking to get what i paid, but go ahead make me an offer Im based in North London, so if any one wants to come try it out, i do good coffee:) Will include a set of d'dadarrio rounds and a set of flats, but dont know what brand they are. and if picking up can include a tribal planet case, the hard/soft one. But will probably cost a bit to ship it in that case. But if you want, we can work something out. Sorry for the bad pictures, i'll put some better ones up tomorrow, but for now, to have an idea. So thats it, a Fretless Shuker £300 shipped in the UK Thanks Ben [email protected] if you prefer to contact me directly. Edited November 21, 2008 by benbastin

Annoying Twit Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 F. me. A Shuker for a price I could justify spending on a bass. Not that I'm buying now, but my eyebrows did raise when I saw the price.

Mike Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Allow me to take a second and mention what a great guy the seller is...I've met him personally, known him some time, and he's a first rate bassist, as well as a gent.
benbastin Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 All replied and answered:) I'm surprised at such a quick response:) And thanks to Mike for being far to kind, he is also a top top bloke.
Annoying Twit Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 The dibs situation is getting rather complex. Can I put in first dibs for when The Burpster decides he needs to sell it to fund something else in a few years.
BigRedX Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 You'll be fine. The Burpster is only interested because he hasn't spotted [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Paul-Reed-Smith-Fretless-Bass-ca-1980s_W0QQitemZ200271124307QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200271124307&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"][b]THIS[/b][/url] yet.
The Burpster Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Boys boys..... all fair comments! The PRS fretless (which incedently I had seen already.... ) is a Bass 4 not an EBIV which is my toy of preferance.... so thats not on my agenda you cheeky boy.... ! As for having 1st dibs for after I've owned it, pimped it and played it a bit.... I may hold you to that, altough we'll have to see how I get on with fretless to assess its longevity...... (unless of course you know of an EBiV fretless up for grabs...?) besides I'm not as bad some (on here) for chopping and changing...... am I ?

The Burpster Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 (hands in pockets, shuffles feet and whistles to the sky..........) There seems to be a trend amongst us ____sters of wealth redistribution, and GAS....... N'est pas?
