I so want this back - but not at this price !

I was the first owner of this beauty - I seem to recall I paid 1200 new but sold it as the neck was a bit wide. I still think it is one of the most stunning basses I have ever seen. I couldn't sleep the night before picking it up I was that excited. Crazy price for it now though on ebay .

Nice bass. Why did you sell?

[sprocketflup]

It is nice though

Neck was a little too wide for my small hands and I was going through a period of GAS insanity which meant I was trading basses with ridiculous frequency !
Credit was a lot easier to come by a few years back !

I know this feeling. The Bass Gallery have somehow got the SEI that I commissioned a decade ago. I sold it to Loz of this very parish about 5 years ago when we were SERIOUSLY skint.
It's in the Gallery at £1300 and I can't afford to buy it back.

So is bit about it being a trade show bass true or just sales guff then?

You were selling a 5 string ACG at the time as well. I was very tempted with that but really I only do 4's!

The neck was quite wide, you would expect it to be less than 40mm at the nut (cant remember exactly) but I did find it tricky at times. I think it was due to financial woes that I sold it on. Sure is a beautiful bass though and the build quality is stunning.

Is that the one that he's had pictures of on his site for a while now? If so, it looks absolutely stunning... Glad I don't have that kinda money available, or I certainly wouldn't now!

So is this a bass for a farmer or a builder?
