It’s a magnetic pickup that is installed via the rear of the body and is just underneath the neck section through the centre of the body. Think of it in the same way as a pickup installed inside a ramp. I think this is such an elegant way of having pickups on the bass without big black plastic soap bars on show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmjos Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 A thing of great beauty. Possibly my favourite Shuker design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to work out if an ebow would work with this pick up design? Bizarre, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 An Ebow will work without any problem as it's like having a wood cover for your pickup. All you have to do is locate the pickup to use your effect properly. And it will even be easier to have great sustain effects as the fretboard runs up to the bridge, so the sliding will be effortless. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason why it shouldn't as an elbow doesn't rely on the pickup to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
