6stringbassist Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I've only had this for a couple of weeks, it's a really nice bass in really excellent condition. I'm told by Jon Shuker that it's about 8 years old. I wanted a fretless 6 string and this came up for sale so I bought it. Then as so often happens something else somes up for sale that I want more. So this will need to go. It has EMG pickups and a Shuker preamp. It was originally fretted but the original owner had the frets removed by Martin Petersen. £600, personal collection preferred but I will post if necessary. Edited June 21, 2009 by 6stringbassist
6stringbassist Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) The string spacing is 18mm, the scale length is 34". It's currently fitted with DR Black beauties, and has a really nice low action. Edited June 16, 2009 by 6stringbassist

steve-soar Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Kev, good to see you have come to your senses and started to play lefty. £800 for a 6 string thru neck Shuk with that spec is amazing, in fact, as the legendary Carl Hooper would say, "That's Amazing".

ziggydolphinboy Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 have you any pictures of the back? kindest regards ziggy.
6stringbassist Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 It's actually very easy to play, I've spent a bit of time on it and consequenty the action is really nice. And the lines are a major help, but you very quickly get used to where the llines are without looking. I'm not a very experienced fretless player. I'll take a couple of photos of the rest of the bass. Posting isn't a problem.

SammyDamacy Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 sh*t, if this was fretted I'd swoop that away! THIS IS AN ULTIMATE STEAL! Best of luck with the sale
Born 2B Mild Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 And if I didn't have one too many sixers, I'd have bitten your hand off at this price too!
