gollyhander Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I've had this since the 80s. It has a lovely action and hardly a blemish on it (just marks on the control cover plate). I got frustrated with the sound and end up ripping all the electronics and pickups out. It now has proper Kent Armstrong pickups (when they were made in the UK by Kent himself, and used by the likes of Overwater and other British makers of the time), and a 9v two band active circuit again from Kent Armstrong. It has a brass nut and bridge assembly. through neck contruction, and I believe the fretboard is ebony. Sadly as I'm downsizing due to not playing she will have to go but will be missed. Anything else you want to know, just ask Edited April 2, 2019 by gollyhander Sold
cocco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I was so hoping this was gonna be standard. Selling my SB II elite was an awful mistake
gollyhander Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) it sounds much better than it did with the Aria electronics. Good as it is, would probably be even better still with one of the newer breed of pre-amps Edited October 16, 2014 by gollyhander
police squad Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I sold my sbr 150 in a px in London in 1990. regretted it ever since. glad I found another 18 months ago. GLWTS

gollyhander Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 always open to an offer, but not going to part for peanuts.... its too nice
chopper Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 You don't have the original electronics to include with the sale?
gollyhander Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Chopper. Sadly they went in the bin a good 25 years ago. They were disappointing though. In hindsight it may have been a faulty pickup, but I'm not sorry to have put the current ones on. Might have been interesting with the original elctronics though.
Porpoise1954 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 If this had been a fretless with the original electronics, I would have snapped it up!
jaybass 70 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 if this was all original I'd be driving to Hull right now, good luck .
