Gone thanks. £1100

[karlfer]

SEI Original headless from about 2003, serial no 051. The chap I bought this from bent over backwards to sort me a deal and after 5 nights of trying, it's just not for me, too set in my ways. He has also very kindly offered to take this back, but I am not happy for him to suffer because of my foibles.

So, moving on from my embarrassment, extremely good condition, 2 tiny dints, neither through to the wood. Unusually I don't see the need for any more pictures, it is a simple but world class bass.
If you are looking at this you know Martin is thought by a good few to be the UK's greatest luthier.
A new one of these will currently cost you just over £2300 and a 12/18 month wait.

Ridiculously light at just over 6.5 lbs, Kent Armstrong soapbars, Maple caps/top, lightweight Ash body, neck through, ebony fretboard, vol, pan, bass, mid, treble. Brand new foam TGI gig bag, 19mm (adjustable) string spacing, 38mm nut width.

My other SEI will go to the grave with me.

I AM VERY HAPPY TO TRADE, with money either way, Fender Custom shop would be nice. Or, for example, a nice US Sterling plus £450 to me. Trades 4 string, fretted and with a headstock please.

As a trade I would value this at £1200
To sell I would require £1100 cash/bank transfer/cleared cheque.
Half the price of a new one, yet just as functional and available a LOT more quickly.
Based in Wigan, any trial welcome. I will courier at extra cost of £35 to cover insurance.
NO PAINPal please, cash or bank transfer.
FEEDBACK at bottom of this post.

NB, the flash in photo no3 highlights tiny little scratches that you can only see in certain light. Even then you have to look hard.
Photo no2 is what you really see.
Any questions please just ask,

cheers,
Karl.

Thanks Mel. it is a bit

PM's replied, sorry but 4 strings only in trade please.

I recognise this bass, very nice. Extremely light.

I think I recommended this bass to someone after playing it in the Gallery. It's a cracker - incredible neck for those who like low action and growl to die for. I would have bought it myself if it had 5 strings.

Thanks chaps, appreciated.
As these things are Kiwi, I was offered a decent trade against a VERY expensive 5, but I don't play them. Bassists eh
An incredible 6 trade offers in the first day including a stunning jazz-a-like. If there had been a bit more difference in his asking and mine....................

Anyway, still currently available and many thanks to all of those who have shown an interest ,
cheers,
Karl.

EDIT. Note to self, learn the difference between past and present tense

Nope, just awaiting funds from Spain to clear.
I've had stuff bought by our continental pals before and it's usually 3 working days to clear, so I would guess the sold sign will be up on Monday
