Hi pete.young, yes the all black Gotoh hardware is how it is originally looks and sells. When I bought mine, it already had the 206 Gold Gotoh bridge installed. I looked arround to see if I could trade it for a black one but no luck, these are ultra rare so I kept the gold bridge and instead, decied to upgrade all hardware to Gold, just haven´t changed the tunners yet. It is a killer bass, really like its power but as I said, I play guitar mostly and I don´t give it much play. If by some chance I don´t sell it, I´ll do the full upgrade ( Tunners, Bartolini pickups and maybe a custom paint job or at least try to replicate the original one ).
Warm Regards,
Martim

Hello Teebs, thanks

BreadBin, you are welcome. I found it on an online thread, I though it might come in handy, as there is so very little info on these basses. Glad it also serves you well !!

Thank you Pinball. From what I have been told and learned, this particular model you don´t find very often, these ones are rare, near the top end of the quality scale.

Hello everyone,
I´m currently trying to find a new home and owner for this bass I accquired a couple of years ago, for my home studio recordings. I´m a guitarrist and I feel this bass never got the attention it deserves, as it is mostly stored in its hardcase. Here follows its characteristics:
Vintage 5-string active original Japanese SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 505 ASR 1988.
Body: Sen Ash Body
Neck: 1 Piece Maple
Fingerboard : 2 octave natural Ebony 24 Frets
Electronics. SGC PJ pickups 35026TD Active ( Type C )
Controlers: Low Impedance Cutout with 2 band Active EQ, pickup Blend and Volume Control
Machinery: GOTOH 206 Bridge ( Gold ) and Gotoh GB7 Tuners (Black) and updated Gold Gotoh knobs.
Finish: SRD ( See Through Red )
Nut: BrassDefects: It has a small filled dent next to the backplate, a small laquer correction near the neck and a small lack of red varnish near the neck pickup, as shown in the photos. Overall it is in good condition for a 30 year old bass, it had a recent luthier setup. All the hardware is Gotoh, brass nut installed. The original black knobs are included as well as a hardcase. Electronics working perfectly.
The bass is in Portugal so a local pickup would be prefered. For international buyers, before commiting to buy, please send me a message so I can properly calculate the shipping fees ( not incl ). Will only post to the E.U. at buyers cost and risk.

Hello everyone,
I joined after being recommended this lovely community. Actually I´m a guitarrist but really love the low end brothers. Thing is I have a bass I acquired a couple of years ago for my studio recordings but it ended up not having the use it deserves. I came here to see if I can get it a new home and owner that will do it justice, with proper love & care.
So here it is, a 30 year old SGC 5 string SB505ASR Bass Collection. I´ll place a proper add for it here on site.
Regards,
Martim Melo
