Kev Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) [s][b]£1600[/b][/s] [b]£1550[/b] Recently acquired this in a trade as an attempt at fretless, alas a heavily inebriated gentleman trying to get into his house at 3am would have an easier time of finding the key than I can on this! Specs as follows: [b]2007 Sei Flamboyant Fretless 5[/b] [b]Specs[/b] Body Style - Headed Flamboyant Offset 5 string Fretless Fingerboard - Ebony Neck - Flamed Maple with Purpleheart stringers Body Wood - Mahogany Facing Woods - Birdseye maple Circuit - Schack 18v Pickups - Nordstrand Fatstacks Veneer - Dark General Options - Blue side Leds - Tuning pegs slightly angled towards body - Strap button behind top horn - Semi Lined - Gold hardware - Full facing on front - Schaller straplocks - Carbon fibre rods A bass of fantastic quality, gorgeous neck and electronics package is fantastic. The bass has blue LEDs running down the side of the neck, not something I particularly look for in an instrument but a nice touch. Bar a little unavoidable string wear on the fingerboard, the bass is in A+ condition, a real stunner. Pictures do not do the birdseye maple justice. Cash sale £1600 ono. Will consider most trades, however I will not consider another fretless or any bass with less than 5 strings. Would prefer cash my way. Pictures courtesy of a previous owner, bass is in the same condition [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4056_zps615a6de2-Copy_zps2d35d64f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4095_zpsfa852cf0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4088_zps40780547.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4089_zps3071f8d4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4083_zpsd48eaf61.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4080_zps22e038b7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4071_zpsd4ad311e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4087_zps81aae54b.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4077_zpsdefad971.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4081_zps6d8e16af.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4070_zps68ca3884.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4060_zpsf3db62bc.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4066_zps3e3604c3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4069_zpse75b0fea.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4062_zpse8bc1227.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4064_zps6b31bf37.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMG_4055_zps745345c4.jpg.html"][/url] Edited June 29, 2014 by Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybassdoyle Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Massive bump - more of a material collision - from me, was previously my bass. For various reasons Kev and I can't undue what has been done, damn you GAS! GLWTS buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cheers buddy, if that Dolphin grows an extra string let me know! Guidance on trades, 5 string preferable and would be looking for a straight trade or cash my way really. Warwick, Dingwall, Roscoe, Sei and similar interest me would always prefer to meet than post but I do have a box . Bass also comes in a basically brand new Warwick hardcase.

rodacademy Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 This is one of the best looking basses ever imho! If it were fretted I would have had it!! Bummer! Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 If this doesn't sell I will be getting it fretted, just seems a shame to ruin such a lovely fretless! Should get change from £200 too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodacademy Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeh i spoke to Martin about getting one done that I saw for sale, think it was around that figure! He has a nice fretted one in the Gallery just now but yours looks super nice! Whats the neck like on this? Some of the dolphin 5s are quite chunky !

Kev Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 The neck on this is just lovely and fast , very similar C profile to my Dingwall, one of the best features of the bass for sure. Nice and light, too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) A couple of people have asked now if the bass can be strung B-G. As I say, happy to set the bass up B-G with a set of strings purchased by the buyer if required, however be assured the nut is cut enough for B-G. It is, however, great E-C! Here is a picture of a .125 B in the nut [url="http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Sei/IMAG0175_zpspzqnhy8r.jpg.html"][/url] Edited June 1, 2014 by Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Bump another purchase now forces my hand to sell this one rather than trade, unless it is something I can sell easily myself... In which case you may as well sell it instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
