[Gardenerben]

Up for sale a stunning Sei NJH 5 string.

 

Top - Claro Walnut

Body - Ash with Bubinga tone block

Neck - Flamed Maple and purpleheart

Fretboard - Curly Bubinga

Pickups - Kent Armstrong

Preamp - Noll 3 band Active

24 Fret

34" Scale

18mm String Spacing at the bridge

Weight between 4 and 4.2 Kg

Hiscox hard case (one bent latch) older but functional

 

 

A lovely bass to play, powerful pickups and a very responsive pre amp gives lots of scope. For me it's not a turn it all up to max and let rip sort of bass but one to give a bit of attention to dialling in and then it will sing with an articulate and clear sound. Condition is very good with a few small cosmetic marks in the finish on the body and end of headstock shown in the pics. Finished in gloss but the neck is satin. Balance (seated or on a strap) and fretboard access is as good as it gets, great weight and ergonomics make it very comfortable to play. Currently strung with LaBella black Nylon but happy to swap for some nickel rounds if preferred.

Wow. 

So this fretboard does have a radius? Anyway bass is magnificent. Very sadowkiish vibe! 

Any sound clips?

If I hadn't of bought another bass last week, I'd of had this, as you're just up the road from me.

 

Going to send a PM in a bit.

Another gorgeous example of Martin's work.  It looks like LEDs markers - if so, what's the colour?

[Gardenerben]

All PM's replied to.

 

The side dots I believe are luminlay in a metal cylinder. They do look like LED's so I checked the only cavity in the bass and no related power source (Nice and tidy n there).

Missed that bit sorry. The fretboard does have a radius but I don't have the tools to specify exactly what.

This is one of those "I wish I hadn't found this" basses.

 

Lots of lust, no money...

[Gardenerben]

Last nudge on this.
