basskit_case Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) [color=#ff0000][size=5][b]Sold to work colleague[/b][/size][/color] Selling my fretless bass as I am not using it, I like Nanyo Basses and wanted to try fretless, but it just is not happening. It is generally in good nick for age, body work is surprisingly good, usual surface swirls and a bit of buckle rash. The hardware on the bass is a little tarnished and could do with a bit of a clean and it is missing a strap button on the bottom of the bass(it was missing when I bought it). Not seen one of these about on here or eBay before so pitching it at[s] £200[/s] £175 collected (Ipswich or Suffolk), I have not got a gig bag for this so I dont want to risk it in the post.

Sibob Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Very nice I had two of these a few years ago, 5 strings, but same model. Really great basses !! Si
jonsparrow91 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 That's seriously sexy. Any interest in trades? I've got an ESP/LTD c304 up for grabs (Selling for £220 but I'd be happy with a swap.) A similar bass but with frets.
basskit_case Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks for the comments, really looking for a sale at the moment so I will pass on the offer of a trade. Cheers
lordfrog Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hi - I've got a fretted Bass Collection, but would like a fretless to complete the set! A couple of questions - the bass looks like it's been de-fretted rather than an original fretless as they don't have any lines? Also is it passive or active? If you could let me know! thanks
basskit_case Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 Hello Lordfrog, The bass may well have been de-fretted as it is lined, I bought this secondhand as a fretless so I dont know for sure. The bass is active. Cheers
Sibob Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 From what I remember these Bass Collection are Active/Passive, thats what the switch does, used to run mine just in passive all the time Si
Happy Jack Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 My old SB330 fretless was also lined, but a factory fretless not a de-fretted bass.

I've had several Bass Collections (struggling to remember if it's 5 or 6 ) and they've all had either split-P or Jazz pickups.
basskit_case Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 How many models, variations of Bass Collection basses were there? I would love to see a central information resource on the Bass Collection brand.
pete.young Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 One of , if not the, definitive resources is present right on this 'ere site. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/697-obscure-musical-backwaters/ I keep asking the mods to re-sticky it, and they keep ignoring me. Nice bass by the way, if I didn't already have an unlined fretless ...

I ALSO have the spit of that bass (same finish, hardware), but with the soap bars and fretless, badged as a 330. I thought the 330 config was used to delineate the differet pickup spec rather than fretted v fretless as I vaguely remember seeing a fretted 330 with soapbars. Anyway have a bump for a rather keenly priced, extremely awesome bass
basskit_case Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 Far too good to you lot, reducing the price to £175 collected, please form an orderly queue!
BassBus Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Shame you're so far away from me otherwise I'd have snapped that up. Have a bump for a very beautiful bass.

Mornats Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I paid £200 for my fretless SGC Nanyo SB320 (1988 model) so this is a bargain for the next-up-in-the-range bass.
Wendalena Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Hmm, so this is still available? My spouse has some friends in the UK who might be take on the responsibility to ship it here to me in the USA...

It is listed as collection only. Thanks
Wendalena Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Yes, he would be able to collect it. We'd have to work out the transfer details. I have a few other questions about it. Would you contact me via my email? [email protected] I tried to send you a message via the forum, but my tablet doesn't display the whole screen.... Thanks!
Wendalena Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Actually it's just 1 question, spoke with our friend and he said no problem
