DWeekes90 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 After much consideration I have decided to part ways with my trusty Sei Jazz 5. I bought this bass from the Bass Gallery in early 2010. It was my no. 1 bass up until I received my Overwater in 2018. I've used this bass extensively in musical theatre, cruise ships, hotel residencies and all the usual function/wedding gigs. It is an instrument of serious quality as anyone who knows Martin Petersen's basses will tell you. As in recent years this bass has become a backup to my main instrument, I feel like it deserves to be played much more frequently by someone else. It's too nice a bass to sit around in a case! I've upgraded the bass several times in the years I've owned it including new Bartolini jazz bass pickups and a fantastic John East Uni-Pre active/passive circuit. From what I could find out after I bought it, the bass was built around 2001 so, as you might expect from a bass that age used by a working musician there is some tarnishing to the machine heads and bridge. There is also some discolouration to the side of the maple neck. These small defects are of course completely cosmetic. I'm sad to be selling this bass as it holds a lot of sentimental value to me as my main bass when I first started my career as a bassist. I hope whoever buys it will enjoy it as much as I have! SPECS Body - Swamp Ash Neck - Birdseye Maple Fretboard - Birdseye Maple Topwood - Amboyna (stunning) Pickups - Bartolini ' Bright' Jazz 5 Bridge - ABM (fully adjustable) String spacing - adjustable but roughly 18mm Scale length - 34 inches Preamp - John East Uni-Pre (active/passive) Strings - D'Addario XL (brand new set) Neck LED system (blue) Collection preferred from Tenterden, Kent but I'm often up in London so happy to make that trip. I can't afford to lose a hardcase so no postage unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ABM bridge is adjustable so you can vary the string spacing. However if all the strings are in the centre of the saddles I believe it works out at 18mm.
