    Wow I had no idea. I'll watch the clip later on today 👍

    Good to know but they use different body woods with the Z3 (which I tried) using mahogany and the Z7 ash or alder.

    I'm so glad someone has said this,especially the bit about 4 versus 5 string songs. I say respectfully that I've never understood that. Does that mean there are frets 1 to 5 songs versus frets 12 to 20? 😆

    The best one is honestly the one that feels the best in your hands and resonates the most with you. Try them and you'll get your answer.

    Seriously? 😧

    This isn't the same bass that was on sale recently in Fair Deal Music in Birmingham is it by any chance? If so I tried it 👍 Actually probably not because that one was super light. Not quite 10 pounds. Awesome looking things these are 😎

    Thanks for confirming this Graham. Well done on the sale mate 👏

    Check it out. Figures can mean very little in the real world once you get your hands on a bass. Go with an open mind mate 👍

    SEI bass

    Not a Sei owner but I'm a regular visitor to the Gallery and John is indeed an undercover comedian 😂

    Awesome basses. 22 frets if I remember correctly 👍
  11. Terry M.
    I might be up for a set of these. Where in London are you?
  12. Terry M.
    Was it the "downsized" body style before the American Deluxe with the full sized body and active passive switch? I've always liked those if so.

    As I mentioned previously Phil,try a Squier Affinty Active Jazz Bass V. You don't like it fine,back on the shelf it goes. Like it and your wallet will only be £279 lighter. I have one on my lap right now wondering if it's some elaborate hoax and is actually an expensive bass in disguise,a social experiment if you will 😂
  14. Terry M.
    I agree with all of this. In particular your Stingray 5 string reference.In my experience they have never been anything less than excellent 👍
  15. Terry M.
    Yes it's very unlikely to find an American Fender in his budget that is true. I mentioned it just for the sake of highlighting that the Mexicans can actually be excellent basses if the right one is found.
  16. Terry M.
    This is why I think trying before buying is the best option. I tried a Cort Modern 5 in a store and the B string IMO was awful on it,and that's a 35" scale bass!
  17. Terry M.
    Squier and Fender B strings whether Mexican or American are hit and miss. Some American B strings are worse than some Mexican ones. I've proven this in stores. I would advise to try one of any and then deciding based on end result. Good ones definitely exist.

    I'm personally useless with electronics but you're right,it shouldn't be too complicated or expensive.
  19. Terry M.
    Really decent basses these. I tried one in Andertons and really dug the sound. Just a shame I'm not really a fan of separate volume controls 😉
  20. Terry M.
    I definitely hear you with regards to weight,choice of strings and even choice of bass. The five string marketplace is smaller compared than the four string market for sure. Good to hear other views 👍
  21. Terry M.
    You say your 6 string does all. Why do you need a 4 string then out of curiosity and not a 5?
  22. Terry M.
    Not really the look I'd go for but I'm sure they are excellent machines.
  23. Terry M.
    Incidentally the closest 6 string I came to buying was an Anaconda Ultra J Essence. I think the 19mm bridge spacing was making it feel as familiar as my wide necked Warwicks. I appreciate that's just too wide for some hands though. I was flying around on it but again,the high C string didn't suit my ear or feel.
  24. Terry M.
    That explanation makes a lot of sense to me. No 6 string fan fretted active basses for you for Christmas then 😆
  25. Terry M.
    Very good point sir. My personal reason to stop at 5 is I want the lower notes afforded by the B instead of the higher ones by the C. I neither enjoy the feel or the sound of the high C string on any 6 string I've tried,therefore it would be pointless me owning one. I want more bass not more treble.
