King Tut Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) A bit of a rare one here. It's an SGC Nanyo 4 string. I believe the model is SB460. These were redesignated to SB611 in the mid 90's. This one is a 1995 model. We have a slim 3 piece maple neck with ebony fretboard and a Zebrawood on Maple Body. High quality components including gold Gotoh Tuners and Bridge. It sports the original SGC Pickups. The original preamp was shot so it's been replaced with an Artec pre. Nice and light at 8lb on my bathroom scales. Ā This one is difficult to price so I'm going to plomp for Ā£500 collected from sunny Milton Keynes. I can post at buyers cost and risk or potentially meet at a railway station on the West Coast Main Line between Euston and Crew/Wolves/Brum. Ā I bought this back in 2012 from Mansons in Exeter. It's got a few light marks but is in remarkably good nick for a 29 year old bass. Ā Dropping the price to Ā£450 Ā Ā Ā Ā Edited September 18 by King Tut Price drop 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 All SGC Nanyos are decent, but the higher end ones like this are quite lovely.Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Chappells in MK used to have loads of these of I'd go in and slap every Saturday. My first brand of 'i want that' but never did. Great basses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalim Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Wow, I have had the exact model and zebra wood facing but in 5-string for 31 years now, purchased from the Bass Centre in Wapping. It is super stable, and the sound is tight and great for slaps. The workmanship on this Japanese-built bass is fantastic and the quality of the thick, dense ebony used on the fretboard is in an entirely different league! The pick-ups are really fantastic, better than my EMGS on my 4-string bass, as they are strong, sounding from lows to mids to highs. It's great for recording and my bass will never be sold; it's that good. You get the picture. Its at a bargain price, in my opinion.
