SEI bass

[Hellzero]

As you mentioned @Woodinblack I also think the best carrying solution would be an 88 keys keyboard bag like this one that you certainly already noticed.

That said, I had a similar issue finding a gig bag for my Leduc U-Contrebasse 6 EUB, which has a quite similar length and ended up buying an unbranded Eminence EUB gig bag at Gollihur as they had one at a very very very decent price back then.

 

I can measure its inner dimensions if you want.

I suspect the problem with an eub bag is the width. The bag I have for my NS:Wav is clearly way to narrow, I would assume they all are!

I’ve only just found this thread and felt I should jump in. I’ve got a through-neck Jazz 5.

I can only assume you tried to load pics of the bass but the mods removed it because they didn’t think we could cope in the trouser dept? It’s understandable!

[Nickthebass]

Something like that. 🤣

 

They’re a very shy and retiring instrument.

My first "proper" Sei, back in the late 90s, was a 4-string with a beautiful ziricote top. Ended up selling it back to The Gallery after being unemployed for a while, unfortunately. I'd love to track it down, it was a beauty and sounded amazing (it had original Lane Poor pickups in it, with the Schack circuit). 

 

I also had this one for a while - it's a Flamboyant fretless with an ebony top, and Wal pickups and electronics. It was a phenomenal bass. I sold it to finance our first international move, and I really miss it. 

I had this bass made for me by Martin in about 1995!

no idea - I let him do his thing. Last I heard 2 3 month ago he was waiting for some nice roasted ash (I think) for the body

Any more progress dude?
I ordered a new custom ACG short(er) scale 6 a month or so after I asked about your coming shorty Sei and it's nearly done!

Well that's pretty tidy!

Hopefully it lands soon dude.
