Schnozzalee Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 You musta been an awesome player if you could find your way around that! Absolutely gorgeous, I'd need lines unfortunately.
spacecowboy Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Nooooo i love love love that bass, why isn't it fretted!

4000 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Stunning bass. The wood looks quite similar to that on my fretted Sei 5. Oh, I do love Seis.

peted Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 GORGEOUS! Why do all these lovely basses turn up when I've already got a custom bass commissioned and I'm paying more. Good luck with the sale.

Sacrilege!! Thanks all for the kind words and understandable droolings. It's not quite as intimidating to play as the specs make out, actually. Yeah, some adaptation is required if you're only used to 34-scale fretted 4-stringers, but the combination of lit position markers and allowing your ear to be your guide [which should be the case anyway, really] means that you soon adjust. Especially true if you've previously played a 5-er. Trust me, it won't be long before you're banging out [i]Jerry Was A Race Car Driver[/i] as nature intended [This post doubles as bumpage. Hope that's not considered cheeky.] Edited January 22, 2010 by simisker
Golchen Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I totally couldn't play it, but if I had the cash I'd buy that in an instant! Beauty of a bass.
simisker Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 I think waiting a month before a bump is forgiveable, right? Still for sale, folks!
simisker Posted August 3, 2010 Author Posted August 3, 2010 [b]Six-month bumpage!! [/b] Right, folks: I need the money locked in this beautiful but never-played instrument to help fund my business venture [[url="http://www.plasticle.co.uk"]Plasticle e-mail design[/url], in case anyone's interested]. The Sei Bass: [url="http://www.simisker.com/sells/seibass/"]http://www.simisker.com/sells/seibass/[/url] the new price that's crazier than Crazy Dave: [size=7][b]£999[/b][/size] [size=3][b]No trades, and no offers.[/b][/size] There are bargains and then there's this bargain. Hell, you could even buy it for this and sell it at your leisure for an easy couple of hundred quid profit. So... who's going to go first?
pantherairsoft Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Man this is amazing! If you were takin part-ex I'd stump up trade plus 50% of the asking price. If I had all the money I'd rip your hand off! Stunning bass and great price! Bump!!
molan Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Now that's just a silly price! 6 strings are way too many for me but it looks just great
simisker Posted August 3, 2010 Author Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) [quote name='sselterf' post='914416' date='Aug 3 2010, 10:57 PM']PM'd[/quote] Replied [at length, sorry!] And yes, folks: words like "Amazing", "wow", "silly" are all apt when describing the price. Especially "silly" . How it didn't sell earlier this year, I don't know. If it doesn't sell at this price, I.. well, I'll equally not know. But you get the drift. Someone here is going to have been in the right place at the right time, anyway. And irrespective of price, I'd rather it went to one of the fine people on here who would play it and love it, than someone who I'd only ever know as "ebay_asshat49563" or something. EDIT: Replied to you also, Luke 2nd EDIT: If someone were to create a new account here under the name "ebay_asshat49563" and reply with "PMed", I would worship you forever as a comedy god Edited August 3, 2010 by simisker
pantherairsoft Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) It's stunning. And worth more than every penny. I'm currently trying to draw up a list of everything I can live without so I can sell them and buy this!!! Edited August 3, 2010 by pantherairsoft

Golchen Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I just looked at your selling web page - looks superb! That's the best ad I've ever seen for selling a bass.
