What does Essex's "SX" stand for?

[Low Main]

I wonder if Kurt goes to sleep at night knowing that millions of otherwise potentially productive man hours have been spent by a select handful of zealots who are compulsively obsessed with every detail of his 150 dollar basses.

I know some very nice looking 150 dollar girls that can't get that kind of love.

Saint Xavier - That's where Kurt went to business school.

Yet, here you are.

You know the rules...

Wow...this is some thread. SX does sound like ESSEX...coincidence I guess.

My vote is for Walter Rondo:

Yup, there's there legend himself...

Ok, next thread we will get to the bottom of the origins of other mysterious brand name's hidden meanings...like Fender, Gibson, Tobias, Valenti, Ernie Ball, and Steinberger.

It's not about hidden meanings, it's the lineage & history behind the instruments I would like to know more about. The brand logo Shelter on what clearly appears to be an SX bass intrigued me. I'm curious if the "S" could actual be tied to these "Shelter" instruments. The Shelter brand is not mentioned anywhere on Team International's website. Looking for useful input from some TB'ers.

From Wikipedia:

SX is a brand of musical instruments, primarily guitars and bass guitars, manufactured by the Chinese company Team International Instruments.

I'd rather play MY bass than all the Tii in China.

Still looking for that useful input. Anyone?

It was a joke

But yeah best of luck on your quest to find the history/lineage or w/e

Sorry if I misinterpreted it. TB can be pretty hostile when you mention the 2 forbidden letters SX. Sometimes hard to decipher the jokes from the jabs. My apologies & thanks.

SX is short for Steveaux

Are you an expert on the matter or just a practicing amateur?

 

[Diogenes]

stingray69, I think you'd have more luck figuring out why the hell one of the most popular video arcade games of all time was named "Donkey Kong" when it, in fact, didn't have a single donkey in it!

If you can PM Bongolation, he knows more than anyone that I can think of on the topic of Asian imports. Whether or not he bothers with SX, I can't say for sure since he looks for great deals to invest in to turn for a profit later...I don't think anyone is buying SX for that. But he may have very well picked up some interesting information about SX or Team International is his dealings, or may know someone who can help you out.
