StuartB Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I did try selling this a few years ago but chickened out under pressure from my wife. I do love this bass, it plays fast and easy, looks beautiful and sounds great. The usual Sei wonderful build quality with face and back from some greek Olive wood that Martin told me he brought back from a holiday there a few years ago. It all works. I have a hard case which it lives in, don't particularly want to include that but can negotiate. 34", 17mm spacing. I am so much in two minds but it's a lot of kit to have hanging around in a case, even if it is lovely. My main bass is a Rosco 35" 19mm fretless so playing this feels a bit too tight, it always has done actually. So that's why it's up for sale .. I think. Looking to get a 35", 19mm, 5 to replace it. Let's see what happens... My playing standard is probably at Squier Precision level so if theer is any justice perhaps this bass should go to someone who can play it well (that bloke out of Dirty Loops for example?).

StuartB Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Infuriatingly Martin did tell me but I can't remember. It's a well known brand who don't make them any more. That's a great deal of help, isn't it? S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggydolphinboy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 its more than likely a "Shack " pre amp, i have four seis and two of them are Shack pre amps 18v and they have block swithes on the boards to change alll the banwiths of the bass middle and treble frequencies.... sorry for spelling mistakes . very powerful pre amps.(german).

StuartB Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 It rings a bell. They are certainly very powerful in terms of db boost - glass breaking treble and speaker trashing bass. Tend to keep it all set to '0' and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
