    Not sure if I want to do this so i reserve the right to withdraw. And its really hard to price trade wise. Ive asked Martin Peterson how much it would cost to build this spec and its a little over £4000 (if this was a Sadowsky NYC I would be asking over £3000, work that one out) Price drop as I'm after a bass.!!!! Its a Sei Jazz bass, a lot of us know how well Martin makes his instruments.Totally hand made. Swamp ash body, Birdseye maple neck/headstock. The book matched olive wood top has flame and all sorts of burl. Its a lovely piece of wood, Brazilian Rosewood fb. Matching electronics cover on the back. The neck dots are surrounded by nickle which is a nice touch, Martin Steamed the Olive wood around the arm rest. He sunk the bridge into the body by 3mm for better resonance. The detail he puts into his basses are so cool. Ive seen and played others Sei basses and they are mind boggling in there detail. Brass ABM fully adjustable bridge.16.5 to 18.5 mm I believe, could be 19 mm not sure. Its the best bridge I've ever had on a bass period. USA HipShot Lollypop tuners. John East Deluxe Uni preamp. Bartolini B Axis pickups. The B Axis are a lot more aggressive and brighter than the usual Barts.. Its light weight at 8.9 pounds.. The B string is monstrous. Super taught. For a 34" scale bass its as good as any Lakland 35" ive ever played, really punchy. Its super comfortable body wise, with a very slim shallow neck.( if you want mm specs just ask) Labella steels on at the moment. It sounds like a modern Jazz. The East pre gives it lots of tonal options. Set (imo) right it is a beast of a Jazz Bass. Lots of growl. But passive its quite a polite instrument. Trade wise I'm after a Neuser Cloudburst, Mike Lull, Moon J, Xotic, GB Spitfire, Devon, Shuker, most J basses are welcome, sexy tops are more than welcome. 5 string only. Like I say I am happy to keep this gem. But its the GAS. Not sure if you have heard of it. No Fenders please unless its a Marcus Miller 5.

    I think this is just superb in every way. Very funky smooth jazz from the man. The sax playing is so fantastic near the end.

    Norman Brown for me is Smooth Jazz among a few other favourites . His guitar playing is way out there good. Most of the bass playing is pretty special on his albums. Sharay Reed has played on a few tracks. This is great. imo.

    This is a pointless thread.

    So you dont like smooth jazz. Cant say ive heard many Smooth Jazz covers. I love some smooth jazz though like the incredible Norman Brown but really dont like Kenny G. There is good and bad in all genres.

    That bloody GAS Andy.

    Thundercats playing is just superb. Mac is no Guru (Gangstarr). But what a track. and what a bass line.

    Wonderful voice. I sooo love the drumming. and the bass playing. And especially that little hook from the guitar at 1.20.
  20. bubinga5
    Love this. They sound absolutely killer. Proper 70's spacing too. GLWTS Karl.

    I personally think 5 string basses are a no brainer and great to play in any situation. Why not have that low B.? You can play stuff without moving position too much. Use it as a thumb anchor. You also have those low notes if you choose to use them. Great for chords as I have a 24 fret 34"scale Jazz. There is not much you can't do with them.Unless you require a high C of course.

    This a Mexican made bass right.?
  23. bubinga5
    Trades.?

    I think Fender Japan has a better rep than USA Fender. Ive owned an American Standard J and it felt cheap, I took the neck off and all the paint to bare wood cracked on the underside of the neck/body and eventually came off. . I owned a Masterbuilt CS LTD 1970 Jazz Bass. Nothing special and had a gap in the neck pocket.This just should not be the case with a £3000 + instrument. Swapped it for a Modulus JV4 with an awesome quilted maple top in cherry red.. Worlds apart in terms of quality. But the MIJ 1975 non export Jazz bass was superb in every way for £600. £2000 less than a CS Fender at the time. A bit weighty but very well made and sounded amazing. I wouldn't pay over a grand for any Fender.

    All Fender achieve to the hobbie or pro bassist is a lack of respect for the brand. It's laughable..
