sei24bass

Many thanks everyone for your very kind comments. Martin's work really is amongst the best in the world and is the benchmark I use for evaluating every other luthier, comparing favourably with the biggest names such as Ken Lawrence, Jens Ritter, Roger Sadowsky, Jerzy Drozd to name but a few (I've tried just about all of them over the years!). The SEi 8 was simply the best fretless bass I've ever played, so I'm really sad to see it go but also pleased it will see future use. The other bass in the picture is the one and only SEi 9 string, completely different to the SEi 8 but in many ways even more of an amazing instrument to play and is staying with me...at least for the moment as one can never say never after all. Anyway the SEi 8 is now sold to a gent in Japan...sniff!

Well, never say never... Never expected to sell this unique one off fretless bass, but I did not see old age coming that makes 35" scale length basses too painful to play. The one and only 8 string bass Martin has ever made, currently strung low F# through F, but many different options possible. Key specifications:[list] [*]Flamed maple and purpleheart thru neck [*]35” ebony fingerboard (36 frets) [*]Alder wings [*]Thuya burl facings [*]Villex Pickups [*]Glockenklang 3 band circuit [*]Graphtech Ghost piezo circuitry [*]Purple fret position LED markers on side of neck (blue at the octaves) [*]Approx 11.5lbs [/list] Ultra slim neck profile makes this bass easy to play, even for myself who has the smallest hands ever (never found any man with smaller hands!). Quite simply the best fretless I’ve ever played in 20+ years of searching. Huge low fundamentals (Villex speciality), the all critical fretless mids to die for (Glockenklang circuitry ideal for this) and ideal action and sustain. This is genuinely a sad sale for me, it has been a favourite go to bass for a long time. ...Obviously the fretless one in the SEi basses photo! The bass is currently at The Bass Gallery ([url="http://thebassgallery.com/fretless-8-string.html"]http://thebassgaller...s-8-string.html[/url]), who are handling all aspects of the sale for me. So why not give them a call or drop by and give it a try (don’t say I didn’t warn you!!) Many thanks and let me know if you have any queries!

Really looking for cash I'm afraid, unless possibly if you have an Octamizer...

I'm sure you all know what this is, but just in case or you like an easy life: [b]What Is It?[/b] One of the very best valve preamps ever made, providing the legendary Aguilar tone without the associated weight of their valve amp: · Two valves (12AX7WA), one driving the gain the other driving equalisation ([u]real[/u] valve tone) · Bass (40Hz), Mids (400Hz), Treble (4Khz) tone controls, with deep (30Hz) and bright (5-7Khz) switches · Separate volume and master output controls (for maximum control of the valve tone) · Parallel/Series effects loop, with instrument/line level and variable send and return levels (ultra flexible) · Pre/post and ground lift switches · Jensen transformer balanced DI (for that amazing DI tone) · Built in power supply (240V) Plenty of comments about this on Talkbass and you can hear samples of it on basstasters ([url="http://www.basstasters.com/preamps/Aguilar_DB659.html"]http://www.basstaste...ilar_DB659.html[/url]) [b]What Condition Is It In?[/b] Good condition, with some rack rash on the ears and the top. Fully operational and sounds superb. Original and spare valves, for tonal variations. [b]Why Am I Selling It?[/b] Old age is a bugger and I’m forced to seriously rationalise my equipment (I’ve gone from a Pedaltrain 3 to a Nano!). So this and a whole lot of other rather tasty stuff is sadly now having to find a new home. Not available new. Looking for £525 (incl P&P within the UK).
