The Hooky Raider is Eastwood’s tribute to the rare Shergold Masquerader, made famous by Bernard Sumner of Joy Division. Just a few years back, Eastwood set out to recreate the melodic and lead bass tones from Peter Hook’s prized Shergold Marathon 6. The result was a bass that Hooky himself took on tour and the Hooky Bass 6 Pro was born.
Next, it seemed only natural to bring back the companion piece to the bass a dual humbucker guitar with a unique set of switching options. The Hooky Raider is inspired by the lively tones you can clearly hear in songs like Shadowplay and Transmission. This is brought on by a bolt-on, all-maple neck, lightweight alder body and 25.5” scale which gives it a clear punchy tone.
3x 3-way switches give you a standard pickup selector and an individual 3-way for each humbucker. The Bridge humbucker is a hot Alnico V measuring over 14k while the Neck is ceramic and in the PAF range to increase clarity. The switching allows either full humbucker, coil-split or coil-split with the ‘Eldred Mod’ for single coil output in the vocal range of a humbucker. For example, use the Eldred Mod on the neck for lower output and tighter bass response and full Humbucker in the bridge and you’ll hear no drastic spike in upper frequencies when switching between them. True to the original design, the Raider has a zero fret for low action and a headstock unlike any other guitar with a straight 3-on-a-side tuner config aided by smooth string trees.
Eastwood Guitars are committed to bringing back to life these rare designs but without the collector price tag and each instrument is professionally setup and ready for the stage and studio. For more info on the Hooky Raider and Bass 6 Pro, check out the link in the description.
