rogerds Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) OK - what do we need to say about these? - but you all probably know anyway.... The original Bass Collection series made by Nanyo in Japan (who bought out the Sexton Guitar Company - Hence SGC) were high quality instruments... just look at the way the neck matches with the body - the use of Gotoh tuners etc NOT to be confused with the current SX models - which - although good value for money - simply do not compare I see a basschatter has a passive one up for £150 - are you guys mad? how come its still there? This is 4-string - active - in a deep, almost translucent, red It does have an extra switch fitted - apparently, the previous owner had to replace the jack socket - but wired it incorrectly so the battery was always on - so, instead of sorting it, put a switch in to manually turn the battery off ! - needless to say its all sorted now and the switch is redundant - but left there because otherwise there would be a nasty hole! (thats the cut-off red wires in the electrics cavity) its a SB310 series with a serial number starting 95 so must be one of the very last to have been made in japan before production by SGC Nanyo shifted to Korea for a very short time before ceasing completely (I actually have one of the SGC Nanyo Korean BC's) I'm putting this up for only £199 - cheap for what I think is one of the most under-rated and under-valued basses around - in my very humble opinion ! buit what I would *really* like is a P/X or Trade for an electro acoustic 6-string (sorry!) of decent quality - Takamine or so - anyone interested?? These bass can only be seen as a good investment in these worrying financial times - prices starting to go up on 'bay now ( I also have a black one - with EMGs - that I might be persuaded to part with for the right deal Any trial / inspection most welcome - could probably find some coffee or a beer... I'm in Poole - south coast - sometimes sunny - sometimes wet... pics below - hopefully other stuff which has to go which i'll get round to listing sometime....

I'm the guy selling the black passive SGC for £150. Thanks for the bump and I hope you have more luck shifting this beauty If I had the cash I would have this off you. I already have an active one but yours is a bit nicer. Cheers and good luck with the sale these are quality instruments for not a lot of cash.
