alyctes Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 The broken one looks as if it might be a good bet. Stourbridge. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Collection-SB301-by-SGC-Nanyo-Bass-Guitar-Active-Pickups-Faulty/163510003862?hash=item2611f4a896:g:vZEAAOSwdgxcTbNl The alleged SB300 might not be? No such animal as an SB300, IIRC; and no pics of the back.

Roger2611 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I think the 2nd one is a steal with a buy it now for £185.00 with the hard case, if it's active then it's likely to be an SB301 Quote

alyctes Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 SB310 is the most probable active bass, but who knows with the BCs... some of them have more than one model number on them, IIRC. Quote
Bassassin Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 If there's any doubt whether the so-called SB300 is a genuine SGC Nanyo, rather than one of the reissues, the hardware - specifically those early 90s Gotoh tuners, strongly suggest it's 90s MIJ. The way prices of these seem to be going, that looks like a pretty good deal for £200 delivered. Quote
Guest MoJo Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Thanks for the 'heads-up'. Right on my doorstep Quote
TheGreek Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Both well priced...and anybody who can work a power meter and a soldering iron can steal the first one. The only problem I see is that they're both red - not a big fan of red basses. Quote

Maybe this one would be preferable? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SGC-Nanyo-Bass-Collection-Active-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Made-in-Japan-1990s/254103946246?hash=item3b29c68406:g:dIsAAOSwPGtcUyKt A bit more expensive. No model number visible, but active so probably an SB310. Looks as if the neck's been off a couple of times? Quote
TheGreek Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 No question that these are great basses but you can pick them up for under £200 - a steal - they are great VFM, I just couldn't bring myself to pay £200+ for one - even though they are, IMO, worth more. 1 Quote
Skezza Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I have had a few of them for a cheap gigging tool for rough pub gigs The preamps are a bit mediocre i have a natural ash 5 string that i have converted to a passive jazz Quote
Guest MoJo Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Missed it. Damn! Went for less than sixty quid. Gutted Quote
