TheGreek Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Another attempted venture into the realms of 5ism comes to an end. TBH I've probably only played this for about 5 hours. I bought it a few months ago at around the same time as I collected the Psilos Bass from Andy which explains the lack of use. The colour is amazing - sort of Iridescent Ivory Pearl - shines beautifully when struck by the light - you have to see it to see. Plays lovely from the flat smooth neck to the JJ pickups. A few knocks but TBH you have to look for them to see them. There's lots of info about these on this forum - "The Lord sayeth seek and thou shall find". The pics:https://imgur.com/a/SfQod?grid
oldslapper Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Mick, I had the exact same bass. Lovely guitar, 5 strings just not for me. But my sister in law fancies it. I'll pm you. John

bubinga5 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I had a 4 string one of these in pink. was such a great bass. Good luck with the sale Mick.
TheGreek Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 I've had several, always end up selling them to make way for incoming. I'm holding on to the fretless (for now anyway)
anzoid Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Mick, you ever want to sell that fretless then I'll take it off your hands!!!! Would love this one too but [a] got no money for it and [b] I don't do fivers anymore Edited November 2, 2017 by anzoid
pete.young Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Philly is looking for a cheap 5string in the Wanted section.
TheGreek Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 Plenty of interest but nobody has parted with the required pictures of Her Maj yet. Adrian (Anzoid) if I ever think about getting rid of the fretless I'll send you a PM.

[/quote] I'll be here waiting Don't take too long And I'm so tempted by this one too - the SB100 is my "go to" favourite bass since it joined the collection. Gigged it last Sunday night and it was magnificent. You just can't go wrong with these!
GreeneKing Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Wow. I'm semi retiring but I was still tempted. A lovely example that one. They are usually rather light too. GLWTS.
TheGreek Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 New site bump.... Remember the old site? This is much better...
Ajoten Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Out of interest, what is the official lightness of this bass?
TheGreek Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 No scales in the flat I'm afraid but it's certainly less than 10lbs - probably closer to 9lb I'd say. Remember that Nanyos are renowned for their lightness.
TheGreek Posted November 17, 2017 Author Posted November 17, 2017 Stupidly sold my Nanyo fretless, I need a Nanyo 4 string in the collection. Will consider a trade for a Nanyo 4 string of similar quality - 310/320 or higher.

Rich Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 I had a Maison 5 string once, they were a cheapass budget version of these basses. It was a great bass, so given that this one is superior in all aspects this will be a fabulous instrument. Lovely colour too. GLWTS
TheGreek Posted November 25, 2017 Author Posted November 25, 2017 The quality of these basses is legendary - you'll be hard pushed to find a better bass for the money
BassBunny Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I've got 3 of these, all 5 stringers, and the heaviest is 7Lb 10 Oz, so I doubt this is anywhere near 10Lb. Stupidly light and I cannot believe this is still here. Fantastic VFM, awesome build quality and Gotoh Hardware. These cost a lot of money back in the day. Edited November 25, 2017 by BassBunny

If I wasn’t reducing my bass gear I’d be all over this. In fact if Mick wanted my COG unit I probably still would ?
TheGreek Posted November 29, 2017 Author Posted November 29, 2017 There is a consensus that these are great VFM - shame there hasn't been anybody to part with the requisite pictures of Her Maj.. Also open to trades
TheGreek Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 TRADED - Thanks to all those that showed an interest.
