pwsr90 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I bought this bass from someone on here. Sorry I can't remember who.. I tried to find the original post but maybe it was too long ago and not on the site anymore. I did take a screenshot of the original post so hopefully that will help get over some info about the bass. I never gigged with it and according to the guy I bought it from he hadn't either. Needless to say it's in excellent condition. Candy Apply Red "Super J" 5 String Red LED fret markers (Side and front of the fingerboard), ebony (I assume), fingerboard and gold hardware. Has gold Schaller strap locks fitted. Basslines pickups with not-sure-who's preamp (switchable between active and passive). Weight on the scales is 10lbs, comes with Hiscox fitted hardcase with few small scuffs but in good condition. There are two small holes drilled into the pick-guard probably where someone has fitted a pickup cover and on the back around the battery cover there is some discolouring of the paint. Would like a straight sale and not looking for trades at the moment. I won't post the bass but I am in north west London and can also drive to meet or deliver if not too far. Any questions please ask! Edited April 17 by pwsr90 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Martin makes really lovely instruments! Any idea on the scale length / string spacing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 When you pick up a Sei jazz bass its like no other bass imo... Among all of the previous Jazz basses I owned, Sadowsky/Suhr/Modulus/etc the Sei I had just felt like it was hand made over the others mentioned.. You just knew Martin had taken alot of time and care making it. That was my experience owning mine. They are just superb instruments. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 18mm 34 inch scale is the norm for Martin. Mine was. It was for sale at the gallery recently. Sold for £2000. I put the Bartolini B Axis pickups in it as you see it in the pics. It used to have old school Barts. The bass was passive originally but a John East pre was installed. https://thebassgallery.com/products/sei-mark-ii-5-string-jazz This bass is a bargain at £1500 Edited January 18 by bubinga5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Interesting. Got any more pictures of the body front and back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwsr90 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 @WalMan sure I’ll take some better ones today and post them up. Thanks everyone else for the other input. I can confirm what @bubinga5said it really is a lovely feeling instrument. in terms of the string spacing and scale length that sounds right but I’ll double check.
