Hi Paul, Is this still up for sale? If so, where abouts in London are you? Mark.

Personal message sent!

Thanks Mick, Absolutely love my Jaydee to bits, can't put it down! Really nice to meet you and get to play some of your superb collection. Good luck with the Alembic. Mark.

Is this still up for sale? If so, very interested with cash waiting.

I had a body built by him! I spoke to others who bought from him too, a few messaged me after I left negative feedback. Either way though, doesn't effect you selling this bass, since if Sei actually put it together it should be okay.

I will change the spec listing.

And sending shoddy work to people.[/quote] The Luthier concernered(Luciano Pastor) was forced to go and work in the U.S due to his sons illness. Thats why he disapeared from Ebay! I can assure you that this bass and the other 2 that i have from him have been built to high standards. I would ask you to produce any evidence that you have of your (rip off/ shoddy) statement.

I bought 2 basses on ebay from him - Warwick corvette copy, Warwick dolphin copy. I custom ordered this body direct from him.

Everything else, electronics, set up etc was expertly put together by Martin Peterson (SEI bass builder) at the bass gallery in London. This bass is nearly 2 years old but is as new, it has a beautiful natural tone and with the benefit of a John East U-Retro EQ fitted it has endless tone possibilties. It has a very low fast action and is a pleasure to play. It has a very small manufacturing fault in the triple stripe in one spot only, i have included a close up photo. Lack of work and a looming vacation force me to sell this bass, i did think i was going to keep it forever, but when needs must and all that. Thought i would try to sell it on here for a week or so before i go to Evilbay. Buyer collects or meet up somewhere, i live in Forest Hill, south London. Offers above £1100.00 SPEC 6 string 34" scale 23 frets 17mm string spacing at bridge Dual truss rod Body materials- Mahogany, book matched Imbuya Burr front and back with Maple, rosewood triple stripe front and back. Through Neck matarials- Rosewood x3, maple x2, Mahogany x2 Rosewood fretboard. Pic ups - Neck EMG 45P, Bridge EMG 45J Electronics- John East U-RETRO (see website for full details) - [url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url] Hard case included.

So am i right in thinking that you wont accept cash offers for this bass?
