  1. Past hour
  2. I have one of these and it’s very good. I don’t fiddle with the controls much, tending to leave it in passive mode in the usual 60:40 jazz pup mix but I do like the string spacing
  3. ...or disco lights.
  4. Had an update this week, my Sandberg should be with me in Nov 2026.
  5. I’ve developed arthritis in the top joint in my left thumb over the last year or so and similarly a change in my fretting hand technique has really helped.
  6. Lovely looking bass. As well as the truss-rod, do these have carbon rods reinforcing the neck?
  7. I actually prefer a direct sale, but it always depends. Maybe you can send me your ideas via pm.

  9. I use mono cases with multiple Sandbergs, fit perfectly and unless you specifically need a flight case are more than protective enough for touring.
  10. Thanks for the Feedback, it's good to hear your views which have helped me get over my intitial irritation. If I'm going to spend a good sum of money on a bag/case then I think I'll go for the Gibson shaped case for both sturdy protection and good fit. Looks like I'll be buying direct from Gibson as I can't find a pre owned in this Internet!!!. Cheers Charla
  11. The Mad Fer It Frog Chorus will be next 🐸
  12. Today
  13. Millennium - Robbie Williams
  14. Thanks Nick, they are very good value for the money and punch above their weight as they say 😉
  15. So cheeky to use that “R” - it’s *exactly* the same as the Rikkers guitars guys - based in the Netherlands. looks like a lovely bass, saw it over on FB.
  16. When I saw the title I thought you had bought an old VHS cassette player... 🤦🏻
  17. A couple for a Friday, first up is one we all know and always good to hear and on a heavier level Hopeton Junior, quite a dub mix at 3.10, love this
  18. Thanks both, yes I had some fun fitting a drop tuner which was supposed to be a drop in on my P bass.... I sorted it all out but a bit of a pain @pst62 - I'll let you know soon - got to pay a builder /decorator first!
  19. Lovely looking example, Brian.. I had one for quite a few years and really enjoyed it. Theses old Yamaha BBs definitely have a bit of magic about them. GLWTS 👍😊
  20. TC Electronic Spectradrive preamp & DI with Spectracomp compressor (with toneprint function so you can select from 40+ different settings such as Nathan East, Ida Neilsen ones etc) and Tubedrive dirt channel which again is toneprint enabled and has everything from clean boost to fuzz and many many extremely useable types of dirt available. Fantastically musical 4B EQ as well, it’s honestly a vastly underrated pedal. I’ll assume you’ve done/will do your own research on the pedal and so won’t list all the reasons it’s better than most of the preamp pedals that cost twice-three times as much, but once you get into the guts of what it actually does you’ll wonder how this stayed off your radar. I’ve gone the hx stomp route, and for now I’m just running that and a DI so I’m selling the last of my bits off as I have a holiday coming up! Comes in original box with power supply & instructions, as new condition - very sturdy and nice looking pedal that barely has a mark. Runs on normal 9v pedalboard power supply Like my other bits I’d rather get them shifted and give other basschatters a deal than have them sitting here for weeks, so fill your boots and all that 😁 Priced to sell very reasonably: £110 posted (UK RM Tracked) VIDEO DEMO 👇
  21. Maybe it is maybe it isn't. You're using a subjective term though when you say better.Play a bunch of USA basses and Squier ones and you'll know for definite. The ultimate test would be a blindfold one. We go to Sainsbury's and see McVities Digestive Biscuits and we see the Sainsbury's own brand version. Guess which one most people will assume is superior before even sampling either packet? Well McVities make both despite the lower price of Sainsbury's "version". Leo used ash and alder based on cheapness and availability. It was not a tonewood choice in the beginning. There's no magic there so if a Squier is poplar bodied for example there is no inherent disadvantage other than what the user places on it based on preconceptions and prior association.
  22. I've got about 30 basses, including Seis, Warwicks, and Ibanezezezes, and in that lot is one modified Squier and no Fenders. And I'm perfectly happy with that mix.
  23. It always seemed strange to me these were called the RGB, when in a way they were a reissue of the EXB series from the 90s.
  24. Some older albums in their original form still sound better to me in terms of production than almost anything since. I'm not a huge metal fan but AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' sounds better than any guitar rock album I can think of, for example. But there are plenty of other much-loved albums that sound horrible to me and I can't imagine how anyone approved the final mixes.
  25. They've surely exhausted pillaging the complete canon of Messrs Lennon and McCartney by now?
