SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 5 string, Audere Preamp MIJ - *SOLD* £320 Glasgow

[steviedee]

£320 Plus postage!

 

A SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 5 string made in Japan. Everyone knows how great these basses are I just need to thin the herd!

 

The bass says SB310 series 3 so I'm not sure of the date, it has a lovely translucent red where you can see the grain so not the solid colour you see on lots of them. The electronics were always the weak spot so this has been fitted an Audere Classic Preamp which sounds fantastic.

 

The bass comes with gold hardware but I also have black hardware, I'll include if I can find!

 

The bass is used and I've tried to show any dings in but it still looks fantastic.

 

Just so you know the bass had some damage around the strap buttons so I had a luthier repair them and in my opinion they look great but I thought I would mention. The only other thing that annoys me a bit is when fitting the pre the luthier drilled a hole so you can see the active light. It looks fine but I can see where a tiny bit of the finish has chipped and it's not entirely circular but it's really hard to see. But this is reflected in the price.

 

I don't want to focus on the negatives this is a fantastic lightweight bass which plays just brilliantly and the Audere preamp just makes it pop!

The first two digits of the serial number will give you the year. It looks like '95', but there might be a more legible version of it inside the cavity somewhere.

 

Looks lovely - the Audere preamp is a great upgrade.

My first ever bass was one of these , great basses , i wish i kept it...

Had one of these throughout the 90's, wish I'd kept it, been looking for another for nostalgic reasons so consider it sold. I would like the original hardware though if you can find it.

Drop me a dm for details. 

Thanks
