Good old SGC Nanyo have brought up quite a bit of interest on here lately,Havn't they?[/quote] Thanks PJP, Happy has stated he is 'almost' certain that they are 320s. I was hoping someone would recognize them and confirm his response. So far, not so good . . . Anybody else? I can take more pics, or answer questions if needed. Thanks Again PJP, Robin

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='121233' date='Jan 15 2008, 07:13 PM']It may be a trick of the photography, but it looks to me as if the paint on your bass may be a re-fin.[/quote] No sign of that. You may be referring to the reflection of my ceiling lamp. Here is a pic of my 'thumb-rest'. You can see where my thumb nail has dug a 1/4" divot over the last 20 years, and there is only black paint showing around the edge . . . Here is my Black Trio. '87 SGC - Fender Aerodyne - '88 SGC So, can anyone tell me which model SGCs these are? Thanks Guys, Robin

Your second bass has the standard serial numbering used by Bass Collection, and is clearly a 1988 bass. Is it actually identical to the first one?[/quote] Well, here is the shot of the wiring cavity with the serial in the '87. Don't understand why one year they have a 5 digit system, and the next year a 6 digit . . . Here's the shot of the neck. Notice there is 'no grain'. Trust me, it isn't wood, and it isn't painted. Visually, the 2nd SGC is almost identical. The first difference is the SGC Logo is verticle on the PUps as opposed to horizontal(As on the '87). The next is the neck appears to be rosewood. And 3rd, the wiring cavity is very different. I LOVE the tone of the '87, and most soundmen have remarked on it. Let me know if you need more pics. Thank You Gentlemen, Robin

Hello Everyone. My name is Robin, and every now and then I search the net for info on my SGC Nanyo. I found this thread and had to read the entire thing, because it's the most info I've ever found. A lot of questions I've had through the years, concerning the different styles, as well as the cheap knockoffs, have been explained. I bought my 4-string SGC brand new in 1987, and it has a 5 digit serial#(15720). Could someone tell me which model I have? The list price was $899. The entire Bass is black, including all the hardware, and the neck appears to be graphite. It's a P/J config with Active PUps. I was told it was the top-of-the-line for the SGC company at the time. Let me know if the store owner fed me a line. I love the Bass so much I bought another one just like it a few years ago. A music store had an online, going-out-of-business sale. It's a little later model though(SER# 883254). Thanks, for any and all help. RJ
