Now, that's what I call a horn! - Now mutated into a Bass Collection thread


Recommended Posts

Unbelievable it may be, but I wasn't previously familiar with the Sei Flamboyant range.

Is it fiddly to tune, with the six tuners in a row like that? From what I've heard of Sei in general, I thought that they were a top class range of basses, and hence I'd expect that even if it looks fiddly to tune, it would in fact be a delight.

Wasn't there someone somewhere on the forum upset because they couldn't afford a seven string Sei at that time on sale in one of the notable bass stores in London?

@TheGreek - totally off topic, but it's interesting to see all your very high end basses, and a Bass Collection BC310 in there. How does it compare?

People forget that in it's day the Bass Collection was a high end bass - I remember trying one at a Fair at the Barbican in the 80s - I also tried a Wal, an Overwater and a Rick - the Bass Collection was not outclassed by the, now, better known brands. I still maintain that when you buy a Bass Collection you get a lot of bass for your money.

I did bid on a BC310 a few months ago, and came second. It sold for £115. I thought I was lowballing it and was very surprised at what it went for.

When I build up £££ of 'man toy' budget for a fretless (currently £-30 (negative) budget available :) ), perhaps I should be looking at a Bass Collection fretless in my list of potential instruments.

I wonder if anyone will be bringing a Bass Collection to the midlands bass bash.

This looks nice. But as nice as it is, I think it's going to struggle to achieve £270.

EDIT: The seller got £250 for it as a 'best offer'.
