largo Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Hello all Seriously thinking of selling my Sei Jazz 5, see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55983"]link[/url] This is my backup bass, and is really too nice a bass to have sitting around doing next to nothing. I know it's coming up to Christmas so this might not shift, and being honest it won't bother me if it doesn't. Looking for [s]offers around the £1600 £1500 mark !!![/s] £1400. Cheers y'all Stephen Edited November 16, 2009 by largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Realised price may have been a bit high, so price drop. I'm not going to give this away mind you Open to trade offers but if I sell this, I'm hoping to get myself a Fender Precision 5 or a PJB Flightcase. So something like that + cash my way will be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Ziggy Thanks for the offer, love the Warwick tone but really looking for something more Fender'ish I'm afraid and probably passive. Cheers, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 No takers ? Will be heading to The Gallery soon me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 OK, reduced to sell at £1400. If it doesn't go here my plan is to send it to the Gallery priced at £1700 which will give me just over £1400 with their commission. Grab yourself a bargain.

JTUK Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Lovely lovely looking bass... and I have always thought so.. Can I justify another Sei or afford it atm.... ??????????????? What does it sound like and how thin is the neck..?? I ask the former as mine is pretty versatile but maybe I need something different to what I have. Iwould prefer a Jazz to sound classic, if that isn't stating the obvoius I would defo come and see it if you weren't so far away.. Have a bump...!!

Happy Jack Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Stephen, what does this bass weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for the bump JTUK. The neck is pretty typical of a Sei Jazz I guess, not sure how to describe it but it's very slim feeling and fast. Has a glossy type finish but not sticky (if that makes sense), rather than the oil-type finish on Sadowsky's and the likes. In terms of sound it's still fairly Jazz sounding even with the humbucker-style pickups. Now there's no hum either As for the weight Happy Jack I shall weigh it tonight for you. I did ask Martin specifically to keep the weight down as I play weddings at 4hrs a time. I'm pretty sure I asked for it to be chambered but not really sure how to tell once a bass is finished. It's a fairly light bass, but I guess the scales will tell tonight. Thanks again for all looking. Stephen P.S. The Bass will be heading off to The Gallery or Bass Direct fairly soon, so grab a bargain before the commission goes on !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 OK, weight .... I only have a set of bathroom scales and think they are broken as there's no way I weigh as much as all that. Weighed myself without & with the bass and the difference is 9 1/4 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Damn! It's marginal, but it's still too heavy. Once you start saying things like "it's only a bit over your limit" the slippery slope beckons. Again. Still a truly beautiful bass - good luck with the sale.

largo Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 If it would help I can remove the strings & pickups to see if that gets the weight down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
