Hi Jamie y would i choose sei....... simply absolute class mate. my 3 seis are all second hand ones and they are all blooming awesome, ive had a shuker and a usa spector and the seis blow them away, and the wt comes very close 2nd. the craftmnanship from martin at the gallery is simply (imho) unsurpassable, every little deatail is considered. if a second hand wt come up and i had the dough id buy it. but im now after a sei fretless or jazz or may get a 5 string single cut headless built!!!! it does seem though that alot of peolpe love the overwaters so i reckon go have a play for a day!!!!!!!

Never played an overwater , but i aquareid a nice wood and tronics 5 string chronos on here, the sound is awesome its beutifully balanced and i get lots of nice coments about the bass. its currently strung b to g but im hoping to change that to e to c , the workmanship is second to none on the bass and the batterry cover is cool too!! the string spacing is wider than my other basses but its easy to get used too. the electrics are very versatile, its active /passive with single ciol humber swicthes for each pick up (good idea0 but i use it in both single ciol. id defo consider a zoid as i love the shape but if i get a bass made it will definately be a sei bass. but the wood and tronics is i think worth the money youd pay for a new one. i must get her back out again (recently bought a sei 5 thats bowled me over a bit and i got a nice super jazz 5 that the gallery spun there magic on recently). so i havent played her in a while.

Absolutely stunning. awesome and beutiful... seriously considering getting a custom jazz. i finally aquired a 5 string sei so now i have a 6,5,and 4. sei basses rule.

about a month ago there were 8 sei bassses for sale in the gallery!!!! i now have 3 seis 6 string headless barts ,shack pre, awesome 5 string headed barts , shack pre , peizo ,awesome 4 string headless , unsure of pups (maybe kent armstrong), u retro deluxe awesome. if a sei jazz came up id have one in an instant but i would have a completly different pre amp in it and would defo go for a peizo too. i think the gallery have a black sei jazz for sale. ive put my jazz 5 in the gallery for repair/setup etc , if it comes back and i dont get on with it ill prob gonna go for a custom sei jazz. ive had a spector usa 5 and also have a wood and tronics 5 but the seis just pip the top spot all the time . i liked youre sei the attention to deatail on sei basses are awesome, ive been very very lucky with the second hand seis ive aquired and always keep my eyes out for them, john from the gallery said they are making more jazz basses and he had a 5 string jazz through neck on the workbench as we spoke (looked nice). hope this helps

You might find that it won't be that helpful any more than a long list of great 6 string basses. You won't know till you start playing as many as possible to find out what suits you. I could give you a long list of basses I have owned and tell you all about them, but it might be better to list all the places you can go to play some real tasty kit instead! Bass Gear, Bass Direct, Bass Merchant, The Gallery etc... But in answer to your question, Shuker every time. I've two customs built to my specifications and they are spot on the best basses I have ever played - but as I say, they are built to my requirements and thus might not be liked by others.[/quote] +1 i agree. but heres my best 6 string bass. and my only one now as it does all i need and i play five strings more .
