Seiwa Jazzman Bass. . . . . .

Seiwa Jazzman - Not many of these about?



















I have put out various enquiries about this and still know very little about it.

Names offered for similar instruments are Azumi and Chushin Gakki (Cushin)
and in Canada, Onyx.
Onyx

I have had it for a few years and at every opportunity, I have tried to find out
more information, but with very little success.




















I am going to do an overhaul and string change, as the original strings that
came with it are now very dead.
I kept them on as the had a really deep thud, although all odd strings, it
sounded nice.

So, before I tell you all about it, I am going to have one last go and see if
I can get any more details on it. 



These are the Azumi models.

















 































This is a guitar that came up a couple of years ago - obviously from
the same stable.

Any info would be great - either on "Comments" or ping me on
contactflateric@gmail.com

Looking forward to a deluge of replies!!! :)

Cheers. :)

Hello,

I soon will receive a SEIWA Century Royal P-Bass. Searching the WWW I got the Information that Seiwa was produced by Fujigen Gakki in Japan.

See also the homepage of "best-vintage-guitar" in Germany:

https://best-vintage-guitars.de/seiwa_bass_century_royal.html
https://best-vintage-guitars.de/seiwa_stratocaster_century_crown.html

They seem to be quite high-quality instruments, the P-Bass seems to be build with the same parts as the F..er/Sq..ir JV-Series, during the same period in the Fujigen factory.
