Basilpea Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) This is a beautiful bass which I haven't had very long, unfortunately the string spacing is not quite right for me at 16.5mm. This, coupled with the fact I've now bought a replacement, means it's up for sale. Quite stunning to look at, very lightweight, it plays like a dream and the East active controls give a massive tonal range. Complete with Custom case. Here's the full spec: Shuker 5 string Artist fretless 34” scale 45mm nut width, 16.5mm string spacing gentle C carve laminated mahogany neck (mahogany / black veneer 5 piece) ziricote fretless board two way truss rod, carbon fibre reinforcement mahogany scarf headstock figured walnut headstock veneer front and back 2mm side dots on fret position 2mm face dots between G and D string, 12th to 24th fret composite nut satin neck lacquer Schaller M4 lite tuners Mahogany chambered body figured walnut drop top black top edge binding rear 1/2” round-over reduced heel and recessed fixings rosewood inset bridge satin neck lacquer composite saddle Headway Music Audio piezo pickup Seymour Duncan dual coil pickup faced with ziricote East Tone UK Ltd piezo buffer preamp East Tone UK Ltd Uni pre 3 band eq rear flip top battery compartment black hardware La Bella Strings black nylon tapewound Collection from Epsom Surrey, or I can post to a UK address for £30.

Woodinblack Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Saw that on ebay, its a thing of beauty, love johns work. Pretty well everything perfect on it, but I can't really do fretless. GLWTS - found the market a bit slow at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm not up for a trade as I just have more 5 string basses than I can justify. This one's on ebay, the auction finishes on Saturday, if it doesn't sell maybe I'll do some clips next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
