Dandelion Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The best value bass ever.. I have one, it has the lowest action of any bass I have ever owned. The market value of these things is beyond ridiculous... I would never sell mine while they are fetching this sort of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Cheap because it's collection in person only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hmmmmm ... £150 is not to be sneezed at, but[list] [*]those knobs aren't original [*]that brass nut is not original [*]it looks like a very poor refin to me (rattle can job?) [*]the one thing I never rated the SGC Nanyo for was the low B [/list] [i]Caveat emptor[/i]. I'd want to have a very close look at that and play it for a while before making a decision.

TheGreek Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 It is in London, perhaps you can go a test it and give us a review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Rather oddly, he's just re-listed it but with a new price of £145. Damfino. He's in Tufnell Park, not a million miles from me but I'm swamped at the moment - no time for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabbs Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I would say the brass nut is original, was on the two 5's I had but has been butchered a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Interesting. My 1988 SB315 had the usual black plastic jobbie, and I didn't think any major manufacturer ever fitted brass nuts as standard ... maybe Alembic? Perhaps the more upmarket SGC Nanyo 5's had them?

Dandelion Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 My Tune bass maniac has a brass nut, my Sanyo has not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah my two SB355s (the soapbar 5 strings) both had brass nuts as standard/from new. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Beginning to think I'm right - this is to do with the quality of the bass. Mine was a 315, i.e. the 5-string version of the 310 which was the entry-level active bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
