The specs for your Jazz sound awsome. I amticipate another set of killer photos in the not to distant [well 9 months] future.
Excellent

Hey Largo - Lucky looks awesome. I don't do the Jazz thing myself but that looks great. I saw the neck when I was last at the Gallery and the blocked inlays look very cool 
.
Rusty. Where's the whammy man
. Interesting spec, looking forward to progress in due course.
Me - well, I've got about 50% movement in my wrist now and I'm finally able to make some noise . I'm getting there and should be starting physio next month with a bit of luck.

I'm a new build!
No updates as it's still all in the very early stages.
I have come up with this (well, my brother did) to engrave onto the elec. compartment.
What do you think? And for those who know more about engraving than me - how feasible is it? I'm not sure on dimensions yet but no bigger than 1.5 inches across .

My initials are A.S.H. and the body will be made out of ash. Kind of cheesy I know, but I thought it might be a nice touch to personalise the bass.

Well I got a build in progress 
Specs -
Body Style - Headed Flamboyant Offset 5 string Fretless
Fingerboard - Ebony
Neck - Flamed Maple with Purpleheart stringers
Body Wood - Mahogany
Facing Woods - Maple
Pickups - Nordstrand Fatstacks
Veneer - Black
General Options
- Blue side Leds
- Tuning pegs slightly angled towards body (not extreme though - just a touch)
- Strap button behind top horn
- Sei logo in same place on headstock as my Sei
- Gold hardware (ABM Bridge)
- Full facing on front, Wings only on back
- fretlines as per http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/haavardhun/81.jpg
----
This is very much the sister Sei to my baby - 5 1/2 months in now and decide on no photos till delivery. Don't really know what state it's in at the moment as I'm far more relaxed about this build. It'll be ready when it's ready.

Rusty. Where's the whammy man
I debated long and hard about getting a whammy for this one... basically, I've already got a bass with one, and I guess I don't use it enough that I need two!
Good to hear your wrist's on the mend, hopefully you'll be back up to full playing strength soon!
After deciding all that, I'm having second thoughts now... I had a little chat with Rob Green from Status today, and he's confirmed that there'll be a 5-string version of the new T-bass coming later this year!
Decisions, decisions....
Decisions, decisions....
...another new build in progess. A Millenium-7, headed, with Buckey Burl facings and Ash core. Can't wait!
KCOBLE
Welcome to the thread and I congratulate you on a very teasing first post.
I think you should share a little more about the build which if I am not mistaken is the 6th of the run of 10 Millenium and the 1st 7 string of that model.
Is this your first Sei, I suspect not, and what made you choose the Millenium? Also can you give a run down of the full specs and build time etc.
All information gratefully received.
Regards
matthew

Kcoble - Hey there and welcome, as Matthew says we need much more details please . A Millenium no less - tres cool sir.
As for the Schack circuit - check out post 117 for a pic of the dip switch settings. Hope that helps.
If you want a membership number drop me another PM and I'll send you one by return.

I just wanted to chime in and show these pics of a Sei that was on ebay. Didn't meet reserve so it might be back up. Gorgeous!

Hi there bass folk,
My bass is back from the finishers so not long to go now
How is everyone?
Come on, tell us the specs again so we can all share a little of your experience. Of course photo's please as soon as possible.Regards
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
Please see page 35 for pictures... as for specs, thuya full facing and back on wenge body, ebony board.
Im still to decide pups, but prob go for barts with some pre, can anyone give a basic lowdown on them? Martin said it would be good with shack... but what else sounds good?
5 string headless, black hardware - simplicity.

At last I have some time to post something!
Firstly a very warm and very belated welcome to KCOBLE. The Millennium basses are beautiful and I also think yours must be the first 7 string of that model. I suspect we all agree with Matthew in requesting more information please.
Aidan, very arty initials there! Are you thinking about a metal compartment cover (you post talked about "engraving")? If so I would check with Martin soon, as I cannot remember seeing a SEI bass with anything other than a wooden cover cut from the actual back facing on the bass. Also don't forget that this type of customising might make the bass harder to sell if you decide to at some point in the future (no matter how inconceivable it might seem right now).
Finally, on the current build front there is the SEI 8 nearing completion (back from the finishers and hopefully just a few weeks to go now)...

Two back from the finishers in so many days. This thread is going to get very interesting very soon!Matthew
