OutSpoon Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) For sales - my lovely Shuker 5-sting single-cut. I bought this from John in December last year, and he had just taken it back as a part exchange. It’s a beautiful bass to play, the neck join is exquisite. Pretty wide-range of sounds available from the Aaron Armstrong pickups. I’ve currently got it set as E-C but can put back to B-G if wanted. It’s great either way. Some more details below. Happy to ship local and international (buyer pays) and it’s got a lovely Shuker hard-case (made by HISCOX). I’ve just bought another bass (Ha!) so don’t really want trade. But would consider a sunburst p bass with some mojo.. Anything that looks like a scratch or a ding in the pictures is just a trick of the light - there’s none! I live near Reading in the UK if you want to pop round and have a slap. 🙂 34” scale 24 frets Maple / black veneer laminated set neck Palmwood Fingerboard Stainless steel medium frets Black walnut headstock scarf Laurel Burr headstock facings front and rear Brass nut Gotoh GB707 tuners Two way truss rod, carbon fibre reinforcement Laurel Burr curvetop and rear facing Black Walnut body Polyester basecoat Polyurethane wet look gloss top coat Schaller 2000 bridge Black Hardware Aaron Armstrong pickups.

djc63 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Singlecuts don't usually do it for me but that is a stunning looking instrument! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would go very nicely with my own Shuker Singlecut - and like you, it took Shuker to make me like the SC design! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Lovely bass! Weight? String spacing? 2 or 3 band EQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 It has a schaller 2000 bridge, so that gives a string spacing adjustable between 15.5mm to 20.25mm Which is nice, I could live with that spacing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutSpoon Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 I’ve quickly put together some sound samples, all finger style (apart from some dubious slapping at the end eek). The strings are pretty dead, but you get an idea of tones. Order is; Both pickups, preamp on, full volume, no bass boost or cut As above, but just bridge pickup As above, just bridge pickup Both pickups, bass boosted, then cut. Both pickups, treble boosted, then cut. Preamp off (volume pull) both pickups Preamp off, bridge pickup Preamp off, neck pickup. I think. Apologies for the sloppy playing, it was cold, I wasn’t warmed up, I haven’t practiced, the dog ate my talent etc. I’m going to slap some new strings on it tomorrow then record some slap, and some pick. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Any chance you'd be interested in a trade for a custom shop Warwick Thumb 5? https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/346251-warwick-thumb-nt-5-custom-2003-fsft-£1800/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutSpoon Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Finally got around to putting new strings on and gave it a good slapping. First bit both pickups, eq flat. Then bridge pickup flat, then with bass boosted. Finally bridge pickup with treble boost. Noodles to finish natch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
