ambient Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) This is 27 years old but has recently been completely refurbished/refinished and refretted, consequently it’s in mint condition. The refinish was done by Sims guitars in Kent, they’ve done a truly fantastic job. It features a thuya root face and back with an ash core. The neck is wenge and maple with a 24 fret ebony fretboard which has a very thin band of lighter wood purfling running along the edge. It’s 34” scale length with twin Kent Armstrong humbucking pickups and a Bartolini preamp. The bass is amazingly easy and comfortable to play, and very lightweight. The string spacing is about 18mm at the bridge. I would prefer collection from Birmingham, or I can deliver for train fare. The instrument comes with a Hiscox case. Trades welcome for cheaper 6 string basses plus cash my way. I particularly like the headless thing, so maybe Status? Edited November 2, 2018 by ambient 6

binky_bass Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 This used to be mine for a short time pre-transformation. Bet it sounds and play superbly now! Like a Sei should. Here's another picture of the front face, really highlights the beauty of the top.

Sonic_Groove Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Can You clamp flatwounds to the clamps? Most flats say don't wrap the none silk bit around tuning pegs, but I recently read an add for a headless that had flats & I know You used to like them. Also Do you know the actual weight? Brendan
