After many years without "the one I shouldn't have let go", I've managed to get it back. I sold it to the previous/now owner, probably 8 years ago and I've missed it ever since. I asked him 2 years ago if he would let it go, but no joy, that and I didn't have the right cash. By chance I messaged him, and he's looking to sell it.. Great timing or what.! Its a stunning instrument, with THAT Sei loveliness, and the great U Retro. Easily the best bass I've ever played. Thanks Steve. My excitement has got the better of me. After an 8 year wait, and a 6 hour drive, she's back. Nothing wrong with a Sire that I just sold but playing this, is just a totally different experience. Its just sublime. As I remember, its soooo light for a swamp ash 5 string. On my digital scales its 8.1 pounds. Adjustable string spacing from 19mm to 17.5 on the ABM bridge. I found out, It was made in the early 2000's, Has an Olive Wood top, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, Birdseye maple neck. 2 piece american swamp ash body, single coil Bartolini 59j's, East U retro ( I think). Im sure Molan and Gwillym can remember this bass.

A Sei.?

I would dearly love this bass back. Do you own this bass, Would you sell it back to me please.. Its an Sr5 in Blue Pearl, with a matching headstock.

Interesting info thanks Mr T

Just interested, but didn't Lodestone do this type of headstock. ? Or did Status get there first. Its such a great design, but im sure more costly.

Is it just a HiFi sounding bass with a Jazz Bass body.?

No, I hadn't.........but damn you. I got the Gas for that.!!

The greatest british soul music came from... a guy called Carl.

Love this.

Your asking Bill Fitzmaurice about fart frequencies

Ok so a quick of question. I have a Genz Shuttle 6.2 and a Genz 210 cab. obviously I have a 600w amp going into a 300w 8ohm cab. How will I know when I'm getting to the cabs limits.? Too be honest I've turned the amp up and the cab doesnt seem to be struggling. Doesn't seem to get that bass heavy or loud either.? But of course I don't want push it too much.

Some of my favourite bass playing ever from Bernard. Niles rhythm guitar. Its just superb.

That That is an absolute cracker.!!

Two people have let me down, so I have 2 tickets for Incognito going for free. seems a shame to waste them. Let me know. You can pick them up or I can meet you there. Text or call me. My number is 07709526425.. Its tonight, starts at 6.30

I worked out I must have spent £12000 on basses and amps over the last 10 years, I had 13 basses at one point. Recently spent £1500 on a Sire Jazz bass, a GenzBenz amp and cab and its the best sound I've ever had. Go figure.

If ever there was a classic electronic music album... They had there own sound. This is a great record with a great bass line. imo.

Any recommendations that I don't know of, to find a band. Soul and funk bands seem to be thin on the ground in my area. Any good FaceBook pages.? Thanks.

I recently got one of these. 600w into 4 ohms. Its just LOUD, !! warm, and very light, built like a tank. Really cheap if you can find one.

Just heard this on Jazz FM.

Surely its possible to do these techniques on any radius
