Sei Owners Club

[kevin_lindsay]

Yeah. we'd need to know well in advance so everyone could arrange travel as well as ensuring they could arrange it around work and family commitments.

Saying that, I am down in London the last week of August (going to see Prince on the Tuesday evening while I'm there)

 

[BigRedX]

You'll let those of us still waiting for our basses in too?

I'd be up for it. I don't travel to London as often as I used to, but something like this would be well worth it.

Of course if it's far enough in the future, then maybe I'd have something to bring with me...

 

[AidanHampson]

That sounds great!

I don't get my Sei till early next year, but if it happens before then I'd still love to see all the instruments I've heard so much about.

Mike, the SEI bass fest sounds good to me. I wonder whether we might try get Martin along?

MistahBenn, I think you now understand why we all play SEI basses...really good to hear it is working out so well for you.

 

[Mike Flynn]

Cool guys - glad some of you sound interested already - I know London isn't necessarily the nearest or easiest place to meet but I think we could at least make a day and night of it - if it makes any difference I could probably put a couple of peaople up in Brixton...

Regarding when it happens I think early next year would be best as there are still quite a few of us (here) who have basses on the way and I for one want to bring mine along - so let's think about Feb or early March next year - I think it would be really good fun and just great to see a load of beautiful basses in one place... and maybe Martin, John and Alex would like to come along as well - it'd be rude not to invite them!

Cheers

Sounds like a cool idea. But what happens if you play someone else's Sei and like it more than your own?

The Big Sei Bass Swap Club?

 

[Mistahbenn]

Im up for it! Will be cool.

I think I’m fairly safe on that one…I don’t think any of you would want an 8 string unlined fretless bass!

I don't know about that, I think I could be interested

[Mike Flynn]

Blimey - seems I've put the cat among them pigeons...! I won't be swapping my bass I can tell thee now! But I have to Sei, ahem sorry, say that I have got my eye on Mr Linsay's new fretless - that's is a corker!

OK let's leave the meet up plans for now - now I know some of you have shown genuine interest I'll start making some plans - maybe even start a list of people who think they can make it - I think it will be great to meet you guys - we all sound like very nice people. Cool. PM me or something to say you wanna do it - I'll try and get a webpage sign up thingy happening soon.

There's always one...the SAME one...

After almost two years, I thought you all would like to see what the close-to-finished result looks like as of a few days ago...

The Sei get-together sounds cool for next March or so..

Notrt - That looks superb!! Your patience is an example to us all !!

 

[sei24bass]

Notrt, one seriously beautiful bass you have there and great to see another bass coming out of the SEI 'factory'!. I have always really rather liked this bass and think it is a testament to the flamboyant design that it adapts so well and easily to a fan fretted design (and also to the extended cut away of the Sei 8).

Sorry to hear about the wait though. Almost 2 years sounds very unlike Martin, so what happened?

 

[Mike Flynn]

Nort - I've seen your bass in then shop and it really is a stunner - though two years even beats my rercord of 18 months for my fretless... anyway I'm sure it will have been worth it.

TWO YEARS????????!!!!!! Crikey.....I thought 10 months for my last one was a long time....

 

[notrt]

...of this bass as she's done. Waiting for more feedback from the boys with bated breath...

full body image follows...

while it's a little blurry, you can see the net result.

I will keep you all posted.

[Mistahbenn]

Thats a sweet peace dude! Congrats. You got yer hands on her yet? Lets have a listen...

 

[notrt]

...and I am on the East Coast of the US, so the short of it is that no, I haven't heard her yet.

After the prolonged build, I am v e r y curious to see how she turned out once she's really "done" --- which is supposed to be momentarily...I sure do hope that the boys got her "right"...we're still emailing about some of my questions.

I will keep you all posted.
