Cheers guys, thanks for the replies!

Yes its a late 90's build. I'm the third owner of the bass. When I first bought it, I emailed Bill Conklin for some info on the wiring and in his reply he gave me a bit of a backstory on the instrument. Original owner (whose name escapes Bill) traded it to a bloke in Sth Carolina, whom I then bought it from in 2004.

This bass is in Australia...?....it is a beauty! Giving up a 7 string...? Standard tuning?
 
Yes it's all the way in Australia now. It was my main bass in my previous band for the better part of ten years. It was absolutely beautiful to play!!! And a lot of fun to experiment with the split stereo outputs, piezo pickups and higher frets past 24. Sadly, I just can't give it the attention it deserves anymore and I'd love to see it go to a loving home where someone can make the most out of its versatility.

Yes its tuned standard for a 7 string bass. Low to high - B, E, A, D, G, C, F

If you're even curious, hit me with a low ball number and we'll see if we can negotiate a deal.
Will accept trades and partial trades.

I have this Surine Regency bass since 6 years- SOLD - FS International: Surine Regency X 6-string It has has an extra GK pickup for Roland V-Bass or synthesizer capacity, as well as a piezo and a Bartolini soapbar. I am looking for a 7 now I play in 5ths, and tune FCGDAEB Low to high.
How about a trade?
