Paddy That sucks, hope the docs can work something out for you!

Thanks Kevin, I'll start saving my pennies ... When it needs a setup in the future I'll get Martin to sort it out. For now I'll leave it, with all the advice I've got at least I know where the issue is...I may even leave it as is

Hi Mike Thanks for the response. I went for the Elite's by chance yesterday (PLayers 40 -125) as their office is close to where I work at tower bridge. The tone has completely changed, dare I say closer to the growl, but I think you and Pierre are right, either i change the pre-amp or I...

You are probably right about the growl. However I've been using flatwound up to tonight and the difference with roundwound is amazing, totally different bass, almost too bright I love that this bass has so many tones, I may never get to the jaco sound but it's got plenty else to offer... I...

Dumb question as well (probably directed at Paddy). How do I get a Sei Bass Owners number :) ? Can't remember if I got given one

Hi Mike F I'ev been listenning to your YouTube track "Someday my Prince will come" ... great sound. I'm still struggling to get that Jaco "growl" out of the OilSlick and one of things I wanted to know was which strings do you use? Also if they're roudnwound do you protect you fretboard with...

HI Mike yeah, trying to put the hours in and am hoping that the light will come on in a few months time and I'll get that oh so needed control between the left and right hand. All I want is the groove at this stage, the speed will come with time. That was impressive for a total improve piece...

Mike, That sounds amazing!! Almost wants to make me throw away my bass your standard is so high The new Sei sounds great. Just out of curiosity what kind of lop machine do you use? Thanks Andy

That is such a stuning looking bass .... real envy setting in!!

Sei2Bass AS requested ...... Here's a Picture of old Oil Slick Will try and take some better ones at some point Getting closer to the Jaco growl now, just having to work on it a little

Hi Mike I know Johnny's bass well ... he's my teacher at the moment. Glad to hear he's got a good rep. Great teacher as well!

Thanks Kevin ... I'll ask Alex and the gang next time I'm in there. I'm ok with it for now, so next time I've got a 2 or 3 week break I may drop it in btw - Do you know Johnny Copland? I think he's mentioned your name before ... he moved down from Scotland to London

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep on plugging... I reckon it may well be the type of pickups it has that maybe just isn't translating the "growl" very well. I'll give it another go tonight and see if I can flip the midrange a little higher as you say and get my fingers onto the neck. I even...

Hi I've got a Sei fretless 5 string "the oilslick" to be exact and I'm loving it (used to be owned by a couple of the members on here Kevin and Pierre). One thing I cant seem to get out of it is that nice traditional Jaco growl. Is it just something I'll have to live with or is there...

:) Poor thing's served me well... I couldn't bring myself to burn it.....well not yet
