ivyserpent Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I got Sei Bass 5 string bass to sell. John East 3 brand eq,2 emg soap (40P neck ,40DC bridge).Ebony fretboard, hipshop looks like tunners. I think ash body. Few dings here and there but nothing major. This model starts at 2300 pounds so price is a bargain! Edited October 22, 2015 by ivyserpent
JTUK Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I've said this before... only someone like MP can make this all black beauty thing work, IMO. Stunning...
funkle Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Weight? String spacing? 34" or 35" scale? Thanks kindly. Pete
ivyserpent Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 All details when i will be back. 35 scale, rest later...
funkle Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm still interested...but... String spacing at bridge? Weight? And for bonus points... Width of neck at nut? Width at neck 24th fret? Thanks again Pete
JTUK Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 [quote name='funkle' timestamp='1429118028' post='2748249'] I'm still interested...but... String spacing at bridge? Weight? And for bonus points... Width of neck at nut? Width at neck 24th fret? Thanks again Pete [/quote] Might be speaking out of turn here so apologies if so, but that looks like an ABM bridge which is means the bridge spacing is Fender like, so around 19mm, I'd say. Also the neck looks like a P-Bass nut as opposed to Jazz neck dims.. This makes is very comfortable for space IMV, and compatible if you come from Fender type basses and spacings. I have 2 Sei J5's and the are pretty roomy for playing..and I would certainly say the ease of playing is not squeezed. If I was changing over from a Fender 4, for example, this set-up and config is as close as you'll get, IMO. from a playing POV.
funkle Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks JTUK. Your experience is appreciated. My 5 string niche is more comfortable around the 17.5mm spacing at the bridge and 1.75" at the nut. Wider at the nut is ok (1.85" fine) but at the bridge I definitely have a set preference for 17.5mm. Even converted my Fenderish 4 strings to that spacing. I find the Lakland 5er necks waaaay too wide, and the Modulus and Musicman 5er necks to be comfy (Musicman narrower at the nut than the Modulus, but a bit beefier in depth and curvier fingerboard radius; Modulus flatter feeling in neck profile and flatter fingerboard radius). Anyway, I'm taking this a bit too much off topic, so I'll just say....free bump.
hubrad Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Easy enough to fit a narrower spacing bridge, and those EMGs will work fine at any spacing.. ;-)
JTUK Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 The ABM bridge is fully adjustable, I have mine set up for a wider setting...would be easy to close it down a bit. I would suggest a Lakland is a bit bigger all round as a bass. I don't find that a problem if jumping on one but I'd have to work on it if my mainstay bass.
ivyserpent Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Sorry guys im away now. I will measure bass on sunday. Bridge is exaclly the same as pedulla mvp.
ivyserpent Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Bridge: ABM 3-way adjustable machined brass with roller saddles. Nut: 46 mm 24 fret: 70 mm Weight 4.5 kg
Mcgiver69 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Don't know why but when I look at that bass Grace Jones come to my mind. Maybe because like her this bass is: - Black & Beautiful - and I bet it makes crazy and lovely noises.
Westbassman Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Hi I'm new to the forum and just trying to sell my black Musicman Stingray 5 HH. I'm looking to replace it with a Fender Jazz USA five string deluxe but the Sei looks a stunning bit of kit. I've read great reviews on them but never tried one. If you've owned or used a USA jazz 5 string, how do the two compare?
