no more SX?

[B-Mac]

Sadly not what you are exactly looking for but

Still many sold from other companies and shops on Reverb.

I had the chance to try SX, seen a lot in GC when I would go in. They would get bought quick. Only bass of theres I really like though was this neon green jazz simply because of the cool color. A lot of other cool models but most of them weren't production anymore like their Semi-hollow body.

I do like Rondo's acoustic 7 string guitar, and their Uke basses are cool. Haven't looked in a bit though tbh.

Never saw an SX in Neon Green.

SX gear is crap, guys. C'mon. My guitarist had a PJ affair which had the dodgiest looking ash for the body, pickup routing you could fit your mum in, a really fat neck that felt hollow, dead spots everywhere, hardware made out of tin. I also believe one of the fret markers had caved in. These days, you can get Harley Benton instruments that cost even less sometimes and are certainly better made.

What I miss is those BaCH mahogany basses that used to ship out of Czech Republic. Those were actually nice.

I digress. My SX PJ Shorty is a nice bass for the money.

Bummer to see this news. I have a couple SX medium scale Jazz Basses. They are pretty amazing for sub-$300 basses.

Shipping costs are too much—more than the wholesale cost of the instrument. Sorry to see them go. I sold one of mine a while back, but I kept the 6-string fretless. I like them a lot. Sad to see them go.

Sorry I guess more vomit yellow or just light yellow.

You know, you’d think that they would have jumped on a Leezy signature model.

 

[dabbler]

Ohhhh, I have on of those (a little modded) on the right:

I don't think they were really going for lime green, in fact the color was described as vintage yellow: SX SJB-57C VYW Vintage Yellow at HomeOld

Wow! It looks great! I saw one for sale recently online...

 

[bigdaddybass12]

A few years back, the Big Companies were buying up the factories of former suppliers like …..Epiphones, Ibanez, Squier and such in both Korea and China.

Yeah, these big names realized that the $300 basses are as good as their $1000-$2000 basses. Eventually the even bigger names will control these smaller businesses.

Yeah, I do wonder how Fender kind of feels someone is using a literal knock off lol. I mean it is nothing new. It is odd for sure since Fender jumps on Indie artist, they helped out Mac DeMarco, and some other obscure indie artist I never listen deep to. Would be an awesome color and vintage look from them.

@pcake , I’ll be sure to keep a lookout online for a used one. I see them quite often. Especially in the classifieds here .

On another note , it sure would be good to see your bass collection . Especially your short scales .

i'll have to take pics of the entire herd...

my recent SX fretless has gorgeous ash, a slim smooth neck, and everything is surprisingly nice. and like i said, many similar basses hurt me to play - the SX short scale fretless puts less pressure on my shoulder than any other bass, and i've played many.

Tell them to purge one your way.

they sold the last one while i was waiting to hear back, darn it!

i emailed rondo to ask about a short scale SX p bass i was interested in, and he emailed me back that they are currently in the process of purging all SX basses from our inventory.

does anyone else sell SX basses?

somewhat cryptic message from 'Kurt'

No, that is a picture blanket I had made of my kids for my wife laying on the couch.

that's weird. his message to me when i asked if they had short scale p basses was "We do not - we are currently in the process of purging all SX basses from our inventory."

No, that is a picture blanket I had made of my kids for my wife laying on the couch.

i never heard of that! more functional than a portrait...
