| ***NEW*** Schack 5 Here we have a rare bass from luthier Andy Schack ( Germany ). Mr. Shack builds a small number of basses , but his main business is as a supplier of fine woods to builders in Europe and beyond. ( It is my undrestanding that he is no longer building basses ) . This neck-through 5 has a top that I cannot name - any help out there ? Madrone Burl , perhaps ? We can see clearly that the Flame Maple in the neck and body is very highly figured. The 9 piece neck is Maple with Bubinga runners and binding, the fretboard is Macassar Ebony. The scale is 36" , but I did not know this till I actually measured it - it plays effortlessly, and the B is gigantic. The pickups are by Basstech , and the preamp is Shack's proprietary 3 band : each band is semi-parametric with cut/boost and sweep. Sweet !! This bass is in very nice shape, showing only very minor finish checking upon close inspection. This bass originally listed for over$6K here in the States - we offer it to you , with gig bag, for $2,400. |
