Bass Collection was a bass guitar line from the late 1980s/1990s, produced by a now-defunct company called SGC Nanyo, an electronic manufacturer from Japan, upon acquiring Sexton Guitar Company, a small British guitar manufacturing firm. The basses were made in Japan, Korea and China. It is unknown what the "SB" stands for exactly; either a "Sexton Bass" or "Standard Bass". The basses were available in a variety of flavours such as 4-string or 5-string, J/J or P/J pickup configurations and active or passive.
Chris was known to use two SGC Nanyo Bass Collection basses during the Showbiz era both live and in the studio. They were one of his first basses to be used for Muse.
