leftybassman392 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Recently came back from a holiday in the USA toting this little beastie. Made by Regenerate Guitar Works in the Seattle area (which is actually one guy by the name of Rod Banuch). I'm pretty sure it's the first one to be seen in the UK. Produced in tiny numbers, mostly made to order and normally with about a 4 month waiting list (which looks set to get longer if this is anything to go by!). This was one of two instruments he had in stock when I enquired. Pickups (Big Singles) and preamp are Norstrand items - actually the preamp has a clever little featurette: passive mode is a true bypass circuit complete with its own tone control, so if you want you can use it in passive mode and have it behave more or less exactly the way a passive Fender would (pickup blend rather than separate vols). His website address is [url="http://www.regenerateguitarworks.com"]HERE[/url] Here's a few pics - if you want more info click the Regenerate link above - it was still available to view last time I looked.

You wanna give it a go? If you're still up to buy back the SEI I can bring it with me when I come down. I'd value your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJB is amazing - I've got 3 different models from the range, depending on the gig. This thing pumps out volume at a level you wouldn't believe from looking at the speaker cones! - 300 watts of pure HiFi bass tone. Regenerate is a remarkable instrument. Got change from $2000, plus I brought it back from holiday so didn't pay transit or customs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where you live you may have heard of Regenerate already - guy lives in WA - near Seattle I believe. Short flight and prob less than a day's drive from you I would think (my geography's a bit suspect though...). He's a really nice guy and loves what he does. If you want more info you might want to check out his website (link in the OP). Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
