    Very helpful. Thanks.

    Hi, action is fairly low (hard to describe). It's very easy to play. Sound lovely with a massive range of tones to choose from. Unfortunately I don't know what the preamp inside is.

    My main bass (a Brawley 5 string) was £450 s/h. I can't justify anything more as the bass is much better than I am, or probably will ever be, and I only play at home or in church. However there is an Ovation Magnum 1 on Reverb at around £2,600 that I really would like to own, but don't need. So to me that's an expensive bass. Those who gig regularly will have different criteria, and it's been interesting reading the views here.

    I wanted an OD that could go from clean tubelike boost to fuzzy grit and some good videos convinced me to get Earthquaker Devices Blumes, but all the stores in my part of the world had it either unavailable or available with bad shipping cost, so I spent more or less identical amount of money at my favorite local boutique pedalmaker's. Went to Blue Colander and grabbed the almighty Crooked Axis. It's a "Multipurpose Gain Device", it offers a super wide range of clean and unclean sounds. Ultra transparent clean 2-band EQ tone-shaping, clean boost, warm tubelike OD, fat and thick OD, grainy and gritty distortion, brassy fuzz and even a lo-fi destruction with spontaneous sub-octave occurrence. It's all there. Plus an active Bass and Treble control with amazing tone shaping capability. Yet another brilliant pedal by Blue Colander.

    Amazing weight for a ‘78! Perfect gigging machine!

    I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure the wooden screw plate battery cover this one has was a second gen thing, upgraded from the plastic ones you could clip shut on gen 1’s

    I have two used Spector USA bass bridges that once belonged to NS2 basses I no longer own, I had taken these off in favour of black hardware. One is the heavy all-brass version, this has faded somewhat on the bass side. I’m not sure if this could be polished up. The other is the lighter, aluminium version, this one in better condition. It is considerably lighter. Note: these will not drop into a Euro bass without some re-routing to enlarge the space slightly. £150 for each bridge or £285 for the pair. Price includes UK shipping.

    From my experience, basses of that scale never feel, play or sound quite as good as a standard 34" scale (+/- an inch or two). They can certainly be good, very good, but never AS good.

    Bought these Nordstrand BigRig 5 - P2 shape, 19mm a couple of months ago from bass direct and had them fitted in my Mike Lull bass. Turns out it wasn't quite the right sound for the bass so they are now up for sale. Paid £235 for them, I'm looking for £125 including UK postage.

    We will have to agree to differ on this Bill. You can see the frequency irregularities around the crossover point in pretty much any frequency plot I've ever seen or measured and the irregularities are audible as well as measurable. Without wanting to get into a philosophical debate about the nature of reality IMO if something is measurable and audible it is real. There's no doubt the software is getting better and will get better still but again IMO it isn't there yet. The measured plots still don't exactly match the computer's modelled responses and most of the big designers are going to use the software to get in the ball park and still use iterative measurements to check and hone their designs. Again I suppose it depends upon what you mean by "an exact result" it may be good enough but I'm a scientist not an engineer so exact is a very big statement.

    Hi, I've tried my hardest but just can't get on with 5 strings (many would argue that I'm struggling with 4....me included). I bought this lovely Sandberg over the summer and have finally decided to sell it. I had it set up professionally by Jeremy at Garland Guitars with flats (I have the rounds it came with if you want them). There's one slight mark to the rear that I can see. Happy for anyone to come along and inspect and have a coffee/tea and chat basses! Rory

    I have the 5 string version of that! awesome colour!

    I put the East pre in as the fender one was so average. The East is such a great addition.

    More articulate flats like Thomastiks might be the way to go.

    I’ve recently ordered the TE1200 amp as I missed it after selling to Stevie at LFYS. How are other owners getting on with theirs ? I think the dual compressor and type of EQ points and pre shape make this an awesome gigging amp

    I’ve got the LM IV and had a TH 700 The TH is more tube like and vintage / warm sounding or can be with its drive. Takes a lot of tweaking to get just right. The LM IV is simpler and has different EQ points and totally clean although the old school control can darken it some. The LM IV is a loud amp and good head room and is in my opinion better and more flexible than the TH However I plan to sell mine as I need something with a bit of grunt and with a built in compressor. Although also a clean amp I’m waiting on the arrival of the TE1200 ( second time I’ve purchased one ) as it’s amazing in its tone and compressor. Not grind or snarl but great sounding

    Interesting,but was this meant for the 'How was your gig last night' thread? I only ask as there in no mention of a BF 310.😁

    It's looking really good Rob, don't do yourself down. There are two issues with the grille. You need to keep it flat and not let it rattle and then it needs to be removable for any maintenance. If the back is stuck on then the speaker hole is the only way back in. It's fairly conventional to use either velcro or the little neo magnets to hold something to the speaker. I'm not sure how well the magnets would work to just hold the grille rigidly in place. If you drop the speakr or somebody kicks it then it will get pushed towards the speaker it is meant to be protecting. I cerainly don't think just magnets in the corners would be enough, and would it rattle at higher sound levels. I'd probably want the grille screwed to a frame which supports the grille along the whole length. Use the magnets to fix the frame to the baffle. Or you could print some sort of peg system to lock the frame to the baffle.

    I’ve bought a couple of expensive Sandberg basses this year, for their light weight and my continuing back issues. I also have a Sandberg being made for me at present. When I get it I’ll let one of the others go. Although I don’t intend to gig anymore I do a 4hr rehearsal with my band once a fortnight so wanted to make things as easy as possible. They’re great basses and the last one was more than I’d usually be comfortable spending, but my first rehearsal with it last week showed me it was a wise purchase, didn’t cause any trouble with my back.
