BigRedX Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If workshop tours are permissable here then here's the one for [url="http://www.gusguitars.co.uk/tour.php"]Gus Guitars[/url]. Wonderful instruments with innovative construction, and every part except the machine heads and strap buttons are custom made. Seriously considering a Gus fretless bass to go with my G3 5 string fretted and G1 Vibratro guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAS Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 [quote name='presoulnation' post='9914' date='May 31 2007, 02:54 PM']Don't spose anyone has anything like this of Sei?[/quote] Just found this thread, as bit late! Watching BBC2 late night education TV recently (the schedule says it was on between 02:00 and 04:00 on 27 May 2007) I saw a series of programmes about making things which must be part of a schools design and technology course. The series is called "Techno - Making It" for 11-14 year olds. The items were quite short, about 20 minutes. The first was about go-carts and the second was about bass guitars, the item was called "The Bass". And lo, who should be featured but Martin Petersen and Chris McIntyre making a SeiBass for a young female bass player (Yolanda?). Must have been some time ago because they both look like teenagers (to me) and I know Chris left The Gallery 3 or so years ago. Sadly I've failed to find any more details on the BBC website, but it's out there somewhere! Nick S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIM Basses Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I had the BBC2 program of Martin and chris on video some years ago and taped over it by mistake, would love to get it again so if anyone knows when its gonna be on TV again, give me a shout. Yolanda charles was the up coming session bassist that had the custom Cocobolo top Sei built. Cheers, Robbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Simon Farmer of Gus Guitars was on some weird science program hosted by a mad inventor who was living in a shed in the grounds of Brunel Uni? and trying to be completely self sufficient. Very bizarre... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How young do Martin & Chris look? That’s pretty much how the shop looked when I first went, all those years ago. And watching this really makes me want another Sei.....
