Yes, you can see the cut out where the neck fits in, just like on all the Bass Collections.

Update! Just found this for sale. [url="http://nitroelectronics.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=143"]http://nitroelectronics.com/shop/index.php...products_id=143[/url] It looks identical to mine (only right handed) and it's described as a 501. They want 1599 dollars for it!! Nanyo's numbering system is very confusing. James

I remember wanting the 5 string version at the time, but it was unavailable left handed so I 'maxed out' on this one which I think was the top of the range 4 string model. I originally wanted it in black, but that was also unavailable so I had this one which I now prefer. I did have the brochure before I bought the guitar. I'll pop over to mothers sometime in the faint hope that it might still be stashed somewhere. Let me know if you want any more pics. I'll let you know if I find the brochure. Cheers James

.....or was it called a 460 and not a 401? The number rings a bell, but it is nearly 20 years ago now. James

Hi folks I've just found this thread and thought I would upload some pics of my SB401 which I bought brand new in the early 90's. It was a special order left handed one and it cost me about £750! Us leftys have always had it hard, but the Warwick equivalent at the time was closer to £1000 which I just couldn't afford. It has SGC active pickups and black Gotoh hardware and it feels as precise as a swiss watch. It has the uncanny ability of making all other guitars I have played feel bloated and clumsy, so I will never sell it. The fingerboard is finest ebony and the body is made made of rock maple as far as I remember. The sound is punchy and clean and it's so easy to play. Hope there are still plenty out there being enjoyed. Best wishes James [attachment=25545:IMG_3336.JPG] [attachment=25546:IMG_3338.JPG] [attachment=25547:IMG_3350.JPG]
