  1. Past hour
  2. I have some photos of the neck stamp taken during a visit to my luthier and friend martch.pl but I can't find them... start trusting me and don't treat me like a fraud... I know the construction of old Fender basses very well, so please don't take me for a layman...
  3. I'm attaching photos for the skeptics. As I mentioned, I have the original socket and lower part for the bass. The capacitor is legendary, not found in all basses from this period. The capacitor has shortened legs, as you can see in the photo. This was taken when the socket was replaced.
  4. In fairness, I haven’t bumped this in over a year. I do love this bass, but (dare I say it???) I have too many to justify.
  5. Ok, so GAS has got the better of me (again) and I’ve splurged a load of cash on something else, so this is now available for £120 including UK second class delivery.
  6. How has this not sold? I love mine (trying not to think about buying this as a spare)
  7. Aw, thanks! The Inevitable Teaspoons are very grateful for your purchase 🥰
  8. Another request received through the website, this is the Étienne Mbappé bass part for the tune 'Djanea' from the 1989 Ultramarine album, 'Dé'. A monster part but, once you know what you are doing, its surprising how much you can achieve. That's what I love about reading. It shows you that its all possible, even this crazy s***. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/djanea-ultramarine/
  9. I hadn't been on BC for a while, but caught up on some stuff yesterday, including this thread. You guys inspired me to take my Sandberg out tonight, and what a joy it is to play! Hadn't gigged it for quite a while, but will try to more now. Definitely got plenty of thump and authority out of it, sounded absolutely monster! 😎👌❤️
  10. Ha. Yeah I did start to wear it pretty low which helped my right arm but absolutely destroyed my left shoulder! Can't seem to win!
  11. This ^^^ I've owned a couple of 12's and the Musicvox I had was reversed... it was truly awkward/uncomfortable to play.
  12. Today
  13. Yesterday was the latest Bandcamp Friday. Did anyone buy anything? Let's see your purchases, mine are below. I think 80% of these are from this forum. Mark
  14. I made the mistake of gigging it this afternoon - it was immense.. 🤣 Whoever finally gets this lovely amp will not be disappointed..
  15. I think my 400SMX sounds better than my 300SMX - only by a hair but there's something about it that just 'breathes' in a slightly more natural way.. Hope you get to the bottom of what it is - very cool. 👍
  16. It's a bass cab. Doesn't matter what it looks like.
  17. First gig with this tonight The Policed It sounds amazing and a great crowd Couldn't be happier
  18. GOOD LORD SIR!!!! 😍 That's a stunning bass! Congratulations.
  19. Nah...tried that in the past. Didn't work for me.
  20. just for clarity there is nothing really musical in this short! but the Sun Swallower is killer
  21. Find an offcut of old mains wire. Remove some 6" lengths of the thick copper wire. These can be soldered temporarily to the end of pickup etc. wires to aid threading them through awkward holes/spaces.
  22. According to my Vernier it's 44.4mm.
  23. Photo dump of the case! I like the fact that you can travel with the body inside a soft bag, which protects it in transit, but then also that comes in very handy when you get to destination: you can rebuild the bass in the hotel and go to gigs on the soft bag as you normally would. the neck is kept in place by a foam recess built in the lid and the case has wheels, a retractable handle and very sturdy handles on the long sides too. A great job!
