[redd]

Now £900

5 string Shuker for sale. My 'go to' bass for many years.  Some marks on headstock and neck, little bit of belt rash on the back. Got my eye on something expensive which forces the sale.

How old, what is the weight, what preamp, string spacing at bridge, scale length, any issues apart from visual blemishes?

[ProfJames]

Nice bass, cannot compliment the build quality enough.  Absolutely superb, am fortunate to own two....a Carbon neck headless and an "RD" style............fabulous tones...........this one looks great too, glwts

Believe I’m right in saying Simon cox is the late Oldgit, from whom I bought a lovely Japanese jazz. A very nice man

Hi @redd what is the weight? Cheers

[redd]

Hi mate. Not sure. I'll get it on the scales and let you know. It's reasonably light though!

Any update on the weight?

What “Japanese fender jazz” was this ? I’ve a feeling I may have bought it off him
