molan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I was reading some stuff about Bruce Thomas and spotted the signature Bass Collection model: Also a nice little story about the development here: http://www.brucethomas.co.uk/?page_id=24 Made me start wondering about the range in general. The only one I've ever played (and that was acoustically for about 3 minutes!) was the Norman Watt-Roy model: Anyone played any of the others?

bagsieblue Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Are any of these linked to the SGC Nanyo Bass Collection basses? - or am I right in thinking they are just using the 'Bass Collection' 'name'? Nice bass Mikhay77 - what's it like? Any idea if this is linked to the (same factory) as the SGC Nanyo Bass Collections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I am pretty sure mines one of the SGC basses although only ever seen one other Jazz. Made in Japan,active electronics,schaller machine heads and amazing neck with ebony board,much better build than any Fender I have had,great tone and playability.Dont know too much more about it really.

pete.young Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The current crop of Bass Collections are nothing to do with the SGC Nanyo basses - it's the Bass Centre using the brand, that's all. I think the new stuff is made in China. The original SGC Nanyo operation, based in Japan, stopped making basses around '95 - 96. I've not seen or played one of the new ones so cannot comment on the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
