ziggydolphinboy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think done the right thing swapping my thumb with the sei.(Added a picy of my thumb) i had the thumb for 17 yrs!!!!! but had a accident skiing and my shoulder is painfull wichever bas i wear but the sei sits lovely. ta for advice about single cut, i may try and sell my two fours then get some cash together for a decent 4 string the difference between my sei and my other basss is incredible, i think basses are so much more a part of a msician than other instruments as i was told that buying a hand made bass wuldnt be better than buying a standard factory bass!!!(by a giutarist). popycok! im gonna take my sei into the gallery get some new electronics put on it and maybe get martin to re-finish it as its had a few owners i think, i hope he has time for me as im not buying a new one! ill start saving!!! have another bump on me.!!!!

I too have a problem with my left shoulder (and my right one, and my neck, etc etc) so I know what you mean; I couldn't play a Thumb 6 these days. I have enough problems with my Alembic, which is hollow (but still quite heavy). Martin will have plenty of time for you I'm sure; he's a fantastic chap (as are all the guys there) and really cares about his customers. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences at the Gallery. Thanks for the bump. Still hoping I can shift something else first... Edited November 4, 2008 by 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Ok, here we go again. Sadly I still currently need a sale, so price reduced to £1250. It may also be going on ebay shortly. Edited November 19, 2008 by 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Butt ugly body shape and the tone can be a little honky for some but there's no denying the effortless playability of these instruments. As good as Alembic or Fodera (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Unfortunately either this or my 4001CS could still do with moving, for financial reasons only; I'd love to keep them both but I don't think it's feasible, barring a miracle. Whichever goes first, the other stays. May have to put this on ebay too as it doesn't appear to be getting much interest, although I could always take it to the Gallery after Xmas for a commission sale. The difficult part is that my CS works much better in my current band, although I can see a use for the Sei somewhere down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
