hment=34815:DSC02691.JPG][attachment=34818:DSC02633.JPG][attachment=34876:DSC02733.JPG]I had the body of this bass made to order by a Brazilian luther, made to the same spec of an Alembic heart omega. Everything else, electronics, set up etc was expertly put together by Martin Peterson (SEI bass builder) at the bass gallery in London. This bass is nearly 2 years old but is as new, it has a beautiful natural tone and with the benefit of a John East U-Retro EQ fitted it has endless tone possibilties. It has a very low fast action and is a pleasure to play. It has a very small manufacturing fault in the triple stripe in one spot only, i have included a close up photo.
Lack of work and a looming vacation force me to sell this bass, i did think i was going to keep it forever, but when needs must and all that.
Thought i would try to sell it on here for a week or so before i go to Evilbay.
Buyer collects or meet up somewhere, i live in Forest Hill, south London.

It was that same Luthier. I bought 2 basses on ebay from him - Warwick corvette copy, Warwick dolphin copy.
I custom ordered this body direct from him.

He got kicked off ebay for ripping people off! And sending shoddy work to people.

The Luthier concernered(Luciano Pastor) was forced to go and work in the U.S due to his sons illness. Thats why he disapeared from Ebay!
I can assure you that this bass and the other 2 that i have from him have been built to high standards.
I would ask you to produce any evidence that you have of your (rip off/ shoddy) statement.

I'm a native speaker and I've no flaming idea either :)

I guess people can make up their own mind, whether he was kicked off ebay as he got reported so many times by buyers, or because he moved to America.

I had a body built by him! I spoke to others who bought from him too, a few messaged me after I left negative feedback.

Either way though, doesn't effect you selling this bass, since if Sei actually put it together it should be okay.

Yes, that's the one I bought off you (with my eyes fully open). Lovely wood, frets all over the place so it's awaiting further ministrations (frets are already out, neck needs some shaping, and I have plans for what to do about the fretboard).
