alyctes Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I haven't seen an SB401 on eBay before. Mind you, I don't see how you'd know it was an SB401... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-collection-SGC-Nanyo-SB401-made-in-japan-bass-guitar-/141871310232?hash=item2108306598:g:dC0AAOSwwPhWjpkp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks. I think you're right, the BC basses have a note on the inside of the cover plate. But I do wonder how anyone looking at the advert would be able to tell.

simond9x Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Unusual to see 5 Nanyo BCs up on eBay at the same time. Now, if I had a spare grand.......... (but that's being greedy, I already have a 310 and a 320) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I found out mine was a 4 series whilst shimming the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I can't see any particular difference between that SB401 and the SB301/SB310 ... what am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 so essentially a 310?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the model line was revamped from the *01 to the *10 models, the entry level 310 had active eq, which was essentially the same as the old 401 models.

linear Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It makes you wonder doesn't it? [quote]Ok, what should we call our new bass model? Well, 'Precision' 'Jazz' 'Stingray' those names worked well. Let's call it the 4-250X[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 So then we got the fretless Precision, and discovered that the Jazz was pretty good for rock music. Did anyone ever get stung by a Stingray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
