FIXED!!

HA!!! We've found you out!! You're really a guitarist....

I don't believe that there are guitarists as you describe...😉😉

Tapewounds - they won't catch on. After all who would want a phat tone, hinting at a double bass sound, soft to the touch with sumptuous tension that you're unlikely to have to replace? Roundwounds aren't the only choice you know...

As of 2020, he was one of the wealthiest musicians in the world, with an estimated fortune of £800 million.

19 bidders.....🤣🤣🤣 He must have friends bumping it....

100% positive feedback...must be a trustworthy seller.

Isn't he a member here??

You'll eventually have to resort to "Fat" or "skinny"

If somebody offered you an extra p, and a J, and a MM would you be happy?? This

£350 for a partial fret job??? I don't think my local Luthier charges that much....Lozz??? (he uses the same fella)

This town ain't big enough for both of us - Sparks

Gone??

Not sure how true this is... Bass Collection was a bass guitar line from the late 1980s/1990s, produced by a now-defunct company called SGC Nanyo, an electronic manufacturer from Japan, upon acquiring Sexton Guitar Company, a small British guitar manufacturing firm. The basses were made in Japan, Korea and China. It is unknown what the "SB" stands for exactly; either a "Sexton Bass" or "Standard Bass". The basses were available in a variety of flavours such as 4-string or 5-string, J/J or P/J pickup configurations and active or passive. In the case of this particular example, the model number is not recalled but is from the upper end of the range as it is differentiated from lower models by: Gold hardware (Gotoh tuners) Active pickups Translucent varnish on a beautiful walnut body (cheaper models had solid painted bodies) Original cost new £800 Note this is an original SGC Nanyo bass made in Japan, not the recent speakeasy re-issue This includes a Fender hard case with the sale More history form the internet: During the mid-80’s a Japanese electronics manufacturer called Nanyo (who presumably made pickups, amongst other things) bought a small British firm called the Sexton Guitar Company. They scrapped any guitars that Sexton were making and concentrated on making one basic design of bass guitar, which they called the SB range (Standard Bass? Sexton Bass?). The range was launched in either 1987 or 1988. The design was available in a number of flavours: 4-string or 5-string Active or Passive J/J or P/J configuration All were 24-fret maple necks with rosewood fretboards and genuine Gotoh tuners. All were fitted with own-brand pickups which say – VERY faintly – SGC. You need to look pretty closely to spot this. The cheaper basses (SB301 and SB310) had alder bodies, usually painted. The more expensive basses (SB320, SB325 and SB330) had Sen bodies. The SB325 was the 5-string, the SB330 was a fretless with fret-markers. The range was not cheap. These basses sold in the £500 - £800 range 20 years ago. Serial numbers were 6-digit numeric, the first two digits being the year of manufacture (so my 325, S/N 883357, was made in 1988). The serial number, bizarrely, was on a label stuck to the electronics inside the back cavity. This meant that owners of a passive Bass Collection never realised that there was a serial number at all, since there was no reason to take off the back cover. In the mid-90’s, probably in 1996, SGC Nanyo went bust. Almost immediately a new range of Bass Collection basses appeared, made/marketed by a firm called SX, sometimes labelled “through Marina”. SX are probably Korean, but I can’t confirm that. The early SX versions of the Bass Collection range were apparently pretty decent, though not as good as the SGC Nanyo ones. Current SX Bass Collections can be bought in the US through Rondo Music for $100 and are apparently exactly as good as you’d expect a $100 bass to be. They have standard alder bodies and generic electronics. Meanwhile, Godlyke Inc. in the US started to sell their Disciple, a clear copy of the SGC Nanyo Bass Collection made of hardwood and equipped with “SGC electronics”, for prices ranging upwards from $825. Quite a long way upwards, in fact. As if that’s not enough to be going on with, our own dear Bass Centre has just launched the Bass Collection Speakeasy, made of basswood and own-brand electronics, for £299. What this all means is that a bass described to you (on eBay, for example) as a Bass Collection could come from any one of four different ranges from four different manufacturers, made at any time from 1987 to the present day. Looking on review sites such as Harmony Central doesn’t help much since so many reviewers clearly don’t realise the differences, and the exact model number is often misquoted or misdescribed. Even the wood used by SGC Nanyo has caused confusion, especially the ash bodies. SEN is also known as hari-gari, or occasionally as nakora. Although it is often described as Japanese Ash, this is quite misleading since it is actually a member of the Ginseng family. (Betcha didn't know that, huh?) The wood is similar to both American Elm and Ash in texture and appearance, and can be mistaken for Swamp Ash. Sen is less dense (SG = 0.45) than either American Elm (SG = 0.50) or Ash (SG = 0.58). It is therefore significantly lighter but, of course, also weaker.

Sorry, you're right.... It wasn't me so it should be the Royal "you"...😉😉

The basis of the philosophy is completely flawed. Most of the guitars sold are low end, entry level garbage which then spend most of their lives in the corner of a bedroom, out of tune with a missing string, covered in dust before finding their way on to eBay and the like, with some BS excuse why the seller couldn't be rrrsed to actually learn. When I bought my first bass loads of my friends had crap acoustic/ entry level geeetars which are probably still in the same corner gathering dust. Some of them didn't even own a plectrum. If this is your market, no wonder decent gear doesn't sell.

Looks like we scared her off again..

The video is about the same length as one Prog track then...

I don't think I've oiled one twice so moderation may be the answer.

IIRC The Doors shared the royalties equally. Different band members wrote different songs but all shared the proceeds. IMO this is how it should be.
