Look at the questions on this now! Someone messaged him to say it's not American, and he had a little paddy.

I just sold mine on ebay, it went for £599, but it is a very rare first month of production bass, could well have got more for it, but put the BIN at that.

I will work on a list and try to get in touch with some people, you should be able to see up in the photo of where the nut should go etc that the frets aren't straight across the neck.

Here are the pictures, I guess they should explain everything that needs doing, but I am not an expert, it needs sanding and finishing (in the cheapest way), then I guess a new fretboard, or even the neck cut off and a new one put on? etc etc.... Like I said before, I have a few parts that could be used if needed, like bridge, pickup, preamp, warwick brass nut for this neck etc.

I don't know who saw them, but a while ago people in brazil were selling bass bodies on ebay, basically you'd get them and finish them off, I was going to do this, so I ordered one, but it arrived and the frets were wonky (oh yes, would you believe that!), so I just kinda gave up on it, and it's been here at work in a corner ever since, BUT it is kinda cool, I just have no idea about doing it, and lack the motivation, is there anyone here that would be up for finishing it for me? As cheap as possible really, I have quite a few bits that I might use for it, but it has space for 2 MM pups, and would like to use just one and get a scratchplate made (in wood) etc too, so, really, any help/suggestions etc, will get some pics when I am at home soon!

Just saw what you said, and I already ordered an ACG months ago, I just like the look of Sei's a lot, and RIM basses too, and about 50% of all basses that exist.

I saw a JV strat recently go on ebay for £1100, was the rare first headstock etc, so made in April 82.

Don't change it if you want to keep the exact same sound.

He is expensive in general, if that is worth that much, then mine from the first month of production must be worth a grand, which it isn't I'm sure.

I never bother with a backup bass anymore, I have never ever needed one.

That thing does look amazing, maybe one day I will be able to get a Sei.

He says it was built in California, when surely that is the model, and it was made in Germany like the rest of the Sandbergs?

I always wanted to try one of those e-basses, maybe I will get to now!
