StuartB Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I did try selling this a few years ago but chickened out under pressure from my wife. I do love this bass, it plays fast and easy, looks beautiful and sounds great. The usual Sei wonderful build quality with face and back from some greek Olive wood that Martin told me he brought back from a holiday there a few years ago. It all works. I have a hard case which it lives in, don't particularly want to include that but can negotiate. 34", 17mm spacing. I am so much in two minds but it's a lot of kit to have hanging around in a case, even if it is lovely. My main bass is a Rosco 35" 19mm fretless so playing this feels a bit too tight, it always has done actually. So that's why it's up for sale .. I think. Looking to get a 35", 19mm, 5 to replace it. Let's see what happens... My playing standard is probably at Squier Precision level so if theer is any justice perhaps this bass should go to someone who can play it well (that bloke out of Dirty Loops for example?).

Tankdave Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 If it had 5 strings, I'd be in the car, wallet in hand
sprocketflup Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Lovely bass, the Flamboyant is just a gorgeous shape, itd probably look good made from an onion crate. The luxury woods are a bonus
4000 Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Niiiiiiiice........the Flamboyant shape is just gorgeous IMO. So nice that I've had 4!

itzing Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 any trades ? ibanez Ashula special and excellent .. brand new !!
Bluepigbass Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Please could you tell me what circuit is this bass fitted with?
StuartB Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Infuriatingly Martin did tell me but I can't remember. It's a well known brand who don't make them any more. That's a great deal of help, isn't it? S
ziggydolphinboy Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 its more than likely a "Shack " pre amp, i have four seis and two of them are Shack pre amps 18v and they have block swithes on the boards to change alll the banwiths of the bass middle and treble frequencies.... sorry for spelling mistakes . very powerful pre amps.(german).
StuartB Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 It rings a bell. They are certainly very powerful in terms of db boost - glass breaking treble and speaker trashing bass. Tend to keep it all set to '0' and be done with it.
