[quote name='aldude' post='1344031' date='Aug 18 2011, 09:04 AM']Looking to buy another bass on here, so for sale is my beloved SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 4-string. Sparkly silver colour! I've had this bass for 16 years, and it's seen plenty of action, though I have always taken good care of it. Everything is original, including the SGC Nanyo PJ pickups, except that I have replaced the preamp with an ACG one, costing about £190, just a few months ago but I have played the bass little since then having bought a lovely Ibanez SR. Condition is pretty good for its age, though there are a couple of chips out of the paintwork here and there, nothing major. Currently strung with DR Neon strings (green)! Looking for £400 for this because of the awesome preamp. No trades, thanks, as I have my eye on something particular. Not entirely sure what model this is, but it's probably an SB310. The serial no. in the cavity is on a sticker which is hard to see from the angle in the pic. The serial no is 912392, so this was made in 1991. I have tried to show all of the marks in the paint in the pics![/quote] Good luck with the sale mate I have the passive version on here for £150 but after one timewaster have had no other interest. Great basses for little money. Far better than a Squire and real wood not ply or basswood sh*te.

[quote name='rogerds' post='1350056' date='Aug 24 2011, 11:02 AM']OK - what do we need to say about these? - but you all probably know anyway.... The original Bass Collection series made by Nanyo in Japan (who bought out the Sexton Guitar Company - Hence SGC) were high quality instruments... just look at the way the neck matches with the body - the use of Gotoh tuners etc NOT to be confused with the current SX models - which - although good value for money - simply do not compare I see a basschatter has a passive one up for £150 - are you guys mad? how come its still there? This is 4-string - active - in a deep, almost translucent, red It does have an extra switch fitted - apparently, the previous owner had to replace the jack socket - but wired it incorrectly so the battery was always on - so, instead of sorting it, put a switch in to manually turn the battery off ! - needless to say its all sorted now and the switch is redundant - but left there because otherwise there would be a nasty hole! (thats the cut-off red wires in the electrics cavity) its a SB310 series with a serial number starting 95 so must be one of the very last to have been made in japan before production by SGC Nanyo shifted to Korea for a very short time before ceasing completely (I actually have one of the SGC Nanyo Korean BC's) I'm putting this up for only £199 - cheap for what I think is one of the most under-rated and under-valued basses around - in my very humble opinion ! buit what I would *really* like is a P/X or Trade for an electro acoustic 6-string (sorry!) of decent quality - Takamine or so - anyone interested?? These bass can only be seen as a good investment in these worrying financial times - prices starting to go up on 'bay now ( I also have a black one - with EMGs - that I might be persuaded to part with for the right deal Any trial / inspection most welcome - could probably find some coffee or a beer... I'm in Poole - south coast - sometimes sunny - sometimes wet... pics below - hopefully other stuff which has to go which i'll get round to listing sometime.... Ibanez SDGR 4-string - active - sunburst - Japanese - not sure which model - pics available - £160 MarkBass 2 x 10 combo *BUT* with the LMK 2-channel amp (came from good b'chatter a year or so ago - no longer used for the sort of stuff I do now) - £650 Eden WT-405 (Time Traveller) - £450 Peavey Bandit 65 guitar combo - £75 [attachment=87755:bc_red_01.jpg][attachment=87756:bc_red_body_01.jpg][attachment=87757:bc_red_pups.j pg][attachment=87758:bc_red_knobs.jpg][attachment=87759:bc_red_tuners.jpg][attachment=87761:bc_red_i n nards.jpg][attachment=87760:bc_red_plate.jpg][/quote] Hi Roger. I'm the guy selling the black passive SGC for £150. Thanks for the bump and I hope you have more luck shifting this beauty If I had the cash I would have this off you. I already have an active one but yours is a bit nicer. Cheers and good luck with the sale these are quality instruments for not a lot of cash.

Terry could you please reply to the pm I sent you. I definitely want to purchase cab.

[quote name='TerryV' post='1342245' date='Aug 16 2011, 06:40 PM']PRICE DROP - NOW JUST £140 FOR THIS GREAT CAB[/quote] How much to post to CW9 6EB ? Northwich Cheshire Is the replacement speaker the same make, wattage Ohms etc? And is this cab made in England or China (Should say on the backplate) Cheers

[quote name='Enzo' post='1314425' date='Jul 24 2011, 05:47 AM']Usually S2 models don't come with neck and head binding, nor gold hardware. That's the only thing that looks customized.[/quote] What I don't understand is why it has gold hardware and chrome tuners

Still here and a bargain at £125 considering sombody on here is selling the inferior speakeasy version for £100...........

Thanx for the good comments, Err slippery wotsit.

[quote name='absolution42' post='1319122' date='Jul 28 2011, 11:02 AM']If this was the active version I would buy this off you in a heartbeat. Is there any chance you would sell your active version?[/quote] Sorry mate the active version is a keeper.

[quote name='dorian46' post='1317738' date='Jul 26 2011, 10:32 PM']do you have any more pictures that you could put up please. Thanks Dorian46[/quote] If you let me have your email address I will send you more pics. Tried to download several pics when I listed the bass but couldn't download for some reason ?? Cheers. Ian

[quote name='Skezza' post='1305455' date='Jul 16 2011, 07:58 AM']Hi Ive got one of these Ive had it ages. I thought the bridge had been changed but yours is exactly the same as mine. The reason I suspected a bridge change is that I have 4 bass collections and the other 3 have a different style Gotoh bridge. My other 3 are active. I use the passive one for backup or outdoor gigs in the rain (like todays music festival). Ive thought about selling mine but you cannot get anything like the quality for the same money. skez[/quote] Thanx For the comments Skez. I also have the active version and the bridge is different on that too. These are excellent basses and I can't understand why they didn't stick around for long when they first went on sale. I have a USA Fender Jazz in my collection and to be honest this bass comes close playability wise and it is so light too. Only selling as I need the cash for other things.

[quote name='mashup' post='1303722' date='Jul 14 2011, 04:32 PM']How much does this bass weigh? Thanks[/quote] Approx 7lb. whatever that is in kilos Im an imperial man myself. Hope this helps.
