Sei Flamboyant Headless 5 £2250 Chertsey

[StuartB]

Probably the nicest looking piece of wood I have ever owned. It was created fretless and I had Martin (original builder) re-fret it. 
 

In very good condition, I could not find any dings.  The only thing that is not quite right is that one of the LEDs at the 12th does not light up unless the batteries are pretty much brand new, I guess a resistance issue.
 

Big sound, thin neck, low action, beautifully made.
 

I have a specially adapted Hiscox guitar case into which it fits as it is small, and also nice and light.

Based Chertsey, Junc11 of M25. Would rather not post...

PS Might swap for a Roscoe Century 5

Now there is THE bass I've always wanted 🤪😍

but I know the piggy-bank is empty 😥

Sei basses are particularly special things. In my humble opinion they easily beat the likes of Fodera for build quality, probably Smith too. Of the ones I've owned over the years I regret not maintaining one in the collection! Something to be remedied at some point...

Absolutely beautiful. Martin sorted an LED problem for me both quickly and cheaply - I suspect it’s an easy fix. What’s the circuit in this and do you know the age of the bass?
To digress, I spent a couple of nights in Chertsey in early autumn last year. A lovely place - I was very taken with it

I’ve been fair taken with the place for 38 years 🙂

I have not thought about a repair - good thought. Always too embarrassed to turn the lm on anyway 🙂 

 

Not sure of age.
