Great player! Like has been said before, if I want to be inspired on my fretless I will listen to Pino fisrt, without a doubt, not taking anything away from great players like Jaco, Mark egan etc, but Pino's stuff is just so relevant and accessible, even the mrs likes it cos he played on loads of stuff she used to buy. every time you watched the tube back in the day, Pino was on!

Question! If you were putting something like an audere into an older bass and didn't want the nice n shiny like of a new plate and knobs on your old, mojo'd bass, how would you go about making the new bits, less new looking? Please don't say, leave them out in the garden for the next 30 years Tony

Getting asked a few questions about this bass, I'll summarise whats been said already and try and add any additional info 5 string sei Jazz bass colour is White, i'd call it more of an off white, vintage white! Very nice figured Maple neck with bound rosewood fretboard and oval inlays. Blue side of neck LED's - very subtle, great for dark venues without looking like fairy lights! Bartolini pick ups J retro - only got this very recently, it's a J-retro deluxe with an additional switch to switch the LED's this really transformed the bass when I fitted it! I'm not sure what bridge this is, schaller? ( no doubt someone will tell me) it does have some adjustment on the string spacing, strin spacing is currently 19mm Nut width is 43mm There are some light marks on the rear of the bass and a small chip on the under side neat the jack plug socket. One of the marks is on the top edge of the top horn, but towards the rear of the bass, not are too noticeable This is a players bass, it has been used and it's condition reflects that. I would call it good condition though, just trying to pick out every blemish!! Hard, shaped case included! This bass was built for Paul Turner (Jamiroquai, annie Lennox etc etc etc), it then went to Ian King (various west end musicals, currently Lion King I think) It went into have some work done by Chris Mcintyre at some point He fitted the crushed ice pick gaurd and silver truss rod cover amongst other things and at the same time, added his own name to the headstock, as he worked at Sei when this was made. Easily reversed if you want the sei name back. I think this bass has some great style, the oval inlays did it for me, modern jazz sounds in a less modern looking bass!

A few things have happened today! The fretless I had my eye on has fell thru, so until I find another good lines fretless 5 the penta is staying I also have sat next to me a Fender 4 string deluxe jazz, what I was looking for, well near enough and it playes sooooo good! So don't need to trade on the Sei! It is still for sale, pics and lots more info tomorrow evening! Tony

I'm not ruling out the posibility of a trade on either of these basses Quality 4 string fender Jazz, but be quick as I have my eye on something right now The same with the pedulla, but again, I have my eye on another 5 string fretless that is around half the value of the pedulla, the reason being is I probably ain't using the pedulla as much as I thought I would, but I still need a fretless as I do play it live on at least one track, and can see it being used on a few more, so don't want to be fretlessless Tony

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='664217' date='Nov 24 2009, 07:27 PM']By the time I found what I believe was the 'Basschat stand' it was a table pushed up against the wall with about 10 tee's on it... so I'm guessing I was a bit late! :-)[/quote] I thought the bass chat stand was the long one, just in front of the bar, I think MB1 did as well!

Some additional info Sei bass The bridge is ABM and string spacing is 19mm The neck profile is what I would call slim, it feels real nice to play (to me) The J-retro is a very recent addition, it has an extra mini toggle switch fitted to switch the blue, side neck LED's There are some small marks on the body, but nothing significant, will try and photograph these The bass is currently branded as Mcintyre as it had a overhaul by Chris Mcintyre who worked for Sei at the time this was made Pedulla The coating has been removed from the fretboard, it had some holes in it and was buzzing on them. Now it is down to Ebony, I think Shockwave has done the same to is, it is not uncommon to have this done Includes Pedulla case and there are a few items of the origanil case candy still in there

Thanks for all the PM's, this was just a feeler and a few calls this morning have changed the situation very slightly The Pedulla is probably going to be available right now, the Sei will not be available until February next year This is due to me gigging fairly regular and having to wait for next bass I will try and answer all the questions I have from PM's and post some pics, even though the Sei will stay with me for a little while longer Apologies to all those whose GAS has been ignited by the mention of the Sei, I had the same problem yeserday Tony
