Lynda's Sei Bass
My new bass will be a Sei Bass original 4 string Headless. Sei basses are made and designed by Martin Petersen at his workshop in the Bass Gallery, Camden. Also working with Martin is John Chapman. Martin and John are both highly talented craftsmen producing basses made to the finest standards. Within the standard specification there are many options available to customise your bass from choice of woods, circuitry and pickups. A Sei bass is not only an outstanding instrument but also a piece of art.

Sei Bass back from finishers

When this is finished I think it's going to be everything I hope for and more.

My bass is finished! I've just collected it and it has been worth the wait. The craftsmanship is top quality. Martin and John have done a first class job. I'm now just trying it out with my Markbass CMD 121H combo getting used to the possible EQ settings. So far it all sounds good with plenty of versatility.
