  9. Hi Guys, So I have come to the conclusion that this incredible Sei Flamboyant must go to a new home... The bass is nothing short of a masterpiece, the Thuya burl top/back and headstock caps (front and back!) look absolutely stunning, couple that with the AAAA flame maple neck you really have a show stopping look. The bass has a Schack Pre-amp which is incredibly tune-able, there's a little leaflet in the Hiscox case showing examples of various settings, these are adjustable from inside the control cavity. The knobs on the bass itself will then reflect the internal setting you've selected, literally making this bass suitable for any occasion, from ultra crisp clean notes to thunderous low ends. I play a lot of tap style and this bass is perfect for that. The action is incredibly low, but can obviously be raised should you want it to. The twin Bartolini pickups are awesome, a great tone coupled with the Schack pre. The bass has a Piezo pickup system under the bridge too, I can't stress the versatility of this thing. It has blue side LEDs too for that extra bit of flare! The bass really has every trick going, I imagine these days ordering this spec new would be in excess of £4000 direct from Martin. It comes with a Hiscox hard case too, so can be shipped safely (will need to discuss shipping costs as it MUST be sent fully insured). The negative points on this bass: It has a fair amount of play wear, I have tried to show this as clear as possible in the pictures, there is some crazing in the lacquer on the rear and some general wear and buckle rash. The neck on the rear just under the head stock has a lacquer crack, this has been looked at years ago by a luthier (around 8 years or so ago) when the damage occurred, it was deemed to be lacquer deep only, not wood deep. This crack has been on the bass for a little over 8 years and is absolutely 100% stable and has not changed or grown in the 8 years past. I am really only after cash for this bass, but may entertain trades so long as there is a minimum of £800-£1000 in cash my way. All things considered, the spec, the condition, this bass is incredible and I feel the price is more than fair. I'm based in Wickford in Essex and don't mind traveling up to 100 miles to meet up in person if you help towards my petrol! I'm on 07912222127 if you want to call/text to discuss. Cheers, Russ.

  10. Just bought a Musicman Bongo 6 from Chris, apart from a bit of a payment crisis from my bank we had a perfectly smooth trade. No issues at all, great guy to deal with! Russ
  11. PM'd Mate.
  12. Hi guys, Got a Shure SM58 mic, great condition, only very minor use, comes with a standard mic lead and a mic to jack lead. £50 collected or £55 posted. Russ
  13. USA Sterling's are excellent creatures. Also, Tommy is a good man to deal with. Did business a while ago, pure gentleman.
  14. To me!! Happy to get this back in my possession (next Saturday).
  15. I do play it occassionally, and yes it is a VERY different beast to the MM. The MM is a rare beast and is in top condition too. As a collectors piece it has some allure, but it certainly is no Sei.
  16. Afternoon sirs, I have been offered a tempting trade for one of my basses and I'd like to know any honest opinions offered as to whether it's a wise trade to make... My bass is a Sei Flamboyant 6 string, No. 67. It has all the trimmings including LEDs and Piezo pups. Thuya burl top, back and headstock caps. A stunner. However... It has some noticeable play wear, micro lacquer cracks in a fair few places (albeit hard to see) and a larger lacquer crack at the top of the neck, not in the wood though. The trade offer is a MusicMan Stingray Premier Dealer Network in Guilded White, mint condition with case and all the trimmings, in addition the trade includes a (replica) MusicMan JP6 Ball Family Reserve 6 string guitar (again, this is a replica and not a real JP6, plays good though). I happily play any bass or guitar, and enjoy collecting rear models where I can, so the trade bait is tempting, I'm just not sure if it's worth it... Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks! Binky.
  17. Both links are for the 5 string!
  18. Hi mate, I have an Aries Senes II, the Red Wood one they have on the website. It's an awesome bass. Is Rosario Vasta associated with Aries? Or did he just copy the style? Thanks. Russ.
  19. Sent you a PM sir.
  20. You and me both pal! A cracking price for such a bass!
  21. One more thing to go... A near new barely used banjo for dummies book, very useful for budding banjoists! Was £17 new, so how about £7.50 including postage. Russ
