Blondino

Ah well, maybe I should grow my beard back In actual fact I'm working on setting up something completely new. Just had an irresistible urge to take a break from band life and plough my own furrow for a bit. I guess you'd call it a solo project, but I hope it will turn into a real band at some point. All the best and good luck with The Reasoning. If I make it to Cardiff anytime soon, I shall be sure to give you a holler!

Cheers Matt. It wasn't an easy decision but it was essentially a case of my life pulling me against the grain of things. In the end, something had to give. Anyway, I think you could make a good doppelganger if you were interested in the spot

Finally ready to move on, so please take this off my hands

I've decided to use this on the album after all. It just sounds too good to let all that tone go undocumented. Sorry guys!

[quote name='ziggydolphinboy' timestamp='1363292400' post='2011247'] dude the sei rocks in the video i can hear every note , are u sure ull get a better sounding bass, that plays as well as this bass. awesome playing dude good luck with sale [/quote] Well, for me every bass is a compromise. With this bass you have the most incredible tone and versatility (as you clearly know!), but there's just one thing it can't quite do which I need it to do, and that's to produce a clear and tight sound on the bottom string when tuned down half a mile. Obviously it wasn't built for that purpose....

Sei Flamboyant 6 string for sale (the one in my avatar no less). Buck-eye burl top-wood. Ash body. Birdseye maple fingerboard. 7-piece through-neck (I [i]think[/i] bubinga and maple). 35" scale. Lane Poor pickups. Comes with Hipshot Xtender installed on low-B string but will include original machine-head. Will throw in an MTD-flight case.

That in itself is a bargain as to have one of these built to these specs nowadays would probably cost a little under £3000. There are a few little nicks and scratches here and there, but nearly all of them are on the back of the bass and so not visible whilst playing. It's the best looking and best sounding bass I've played and deciding to put this up for sale has been a real heartache. Reason for sale? Simple honest truth? I need a bass that can handle drop-Z tunings, and only a 37" scale will do The music I use this for (basically rock and metal) doesn't really do the natural 'woody' tones of this magnificent instrument justice and I'd rather it went to a player who appreciated its beauty and versatility. Pickup preferred but able to ship in flight-case. UPDATE: No longer seeking trade. Cash only.

Wow!

Had one of these and sold it for the same reason. Best midrange fretless I've played. Ironically now I need a new fretless..... Incidentally, didn't you used to own a Dingwall 6 string?

Hi there. I'm potentially interested. A few questions: What is the scale length? String spacing at bridge? What is the fretboard made from? Can you tell me more about the markers? Are they part of the woodwork or slotted in? How much does the bass weigh? Thanks.
