    The recent purchase of another 4-string superlight means this beauty is up for sale. I'd rather not sell, as it is hands-down the best 5-string I have ever owned and of course superlights are hard to come by, perhaps more so in 5 strings. The low B is lovely! The Sandberg sounds great, feels great, looks great, and the weight of 6.8lb is... great! Gig comfortably for hours. The truth is, the reggae band I use a 5-string with seems to resurface every 5 years on average. I used this bass once only at our last gig in 2025; since then, it's been hung on the wall and not played. I use 4 stringers in my other bands, and recently purchased another 4-string superlight, so I need to balance the bank books. The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor marks being a soft wood, but nothing of concern. The neck is sublime, so comfortable. Glockenklang preamp with pull passive and passive tone , fairly sure they're the black label Sandberg pickups. It'll come with a tatty gig bag but can be upgraded for an extra £ - it will be well packed if needing to be couriered. £1150 - may take new type Markbass M58R 8ohm 2x10" or 1x12" in p/t ex. Collection from Plymouth, Devon, or happy to discuss couriers at the buyer's cost.

    There’s one in the USA I see for just over 15k that looks like the same one

    The obvious thing to note (for me) is that when you search '1964 fender jazz bass' on Reverb, you get a page with this one @ £3.8k, one for just under £9k in America and all the others in the £15k to £18k range. The only ones that come up at a broadly similar price are Custom Shop models.

    So this week: Couldn't make the Friday practice so just worked it out on the fly Used IEMs for the first time in a service Drummer used electric drums for the first time Tried a new router as monitor mix wasn't working (and it only sort of came on line) Used an ipad for the music for only the second time Had a keyboardist leading who seemed to make up his own basslines as we were going along Was probably the hardest I've ever concentrated on a Sunday morning - only got lost once in five songs!

    I've also just switched to IEMs and this weekend had one of the best tones I've managed. I think having a really good DI might be quite important - I was going out of my Genzler Magellan pre with a little bit of EQ tweaking to taste. Also, something I don't think anyone has mentioned on this thread yet (although I haven't read all 87 pages), walking around a venue with IEMs around your neck seems like the equivalent of walking around a hospital with a stethoscope in terms of how people treat you!

    Hey Kiwi A few questions (if i may) ? do you have a profile dxf for these necks? is the profile C/D/U ? What the board/fret radius ? what's the string spacing nut/bridge are these 34" scale ? Cheers Gizmo

    I think the white pickup covers look great, the International series Fenders from the late '70s often had them. They also had strat type numbered control knobs...that's what I'd swap them for. Lovely bass, GLWTS

    I think I know every BTB that's currently on or has recently been on the market. And considering there are circa 140 models in the entire BTB range that amounts to only a disappointing few. The 845V - the shorter 33'' Volo model - looks very nice however I think I prefer the longer scale. The 17mm spacing for me might also be a bit of a deal breaker too. There was one for sale last Summer not too far from where I live. I wanted to go take a look but I just didn't have the money at the time. I'm not interested in any of the older/earlier models (i.e. the 405) and with the more modern ones I'm not keen on the bland 'flat' natural finish models. Does get a bit frustrating when you spy an especially nice example available for sale in Japan or USA but shipping and tax add up to being a killer 😖

    I remember seeing that finish on an old "Thor Sound" guitar in a local shop a few years ago. It does look really neat. I'm always tempted to try that sort of solid/natural finish on one of my own builds.

    We were signed to Gondwana Records but just couldnt get it to work out. Which was a shame as it was a fun live band. They carried on with Chris Dagger (who is a great player) after I left. They are not officially stopped, but paused. I am still in contact with Tom as he is a good friend of mine

    Audio cables and mains cables running side by side are deemed a bad idea the can cross each other at an angle, but it does effectively mean you have a long aerial from a transmitter running in close proximity to the receiving aerial of the audio input. There are a few cables that run a balanced cable and a mains cable in the same bundle, Andertons do one, but I cannot find the link. Sommer also do one, Sommer DMX/Power or Audio and Power Cable. I may get some of the Sommer one to try but at almost €14 per metre excluding VAT, Duties and shipping costs....

    Hi peeps F/S are a set of neck and bridge pickups for Rickenbacker style basses. These are the single coil with static impedance of 8.2k Ohms (neck) and 8.4k Ohms (bridge). Bought in anticipation of a project that never happened. As you can see they are unopened but I have added in the pics from the Retrovibe website for clarity and a link to the relevant pages. These are just shy of £120 inc. P&P from Retrovibe, so offered at a very reasonable £90 inc. P&P to UK mainland by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Neck: https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-rick-style-neck-pickup/ Bridge: https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-rick-style-treble-pickup-and-chrome-surround/ And some pics:

    For sale is this MM style 4-conductor pickup that came out of a DiMavery MM-501 bass. Not sure who makes them but I think it's a ceramic magnet. It sounded fine in the bass but I wanted to put an AlNiCo pickup in the bass. £20 posted to UK mainland. Here are the pics:

    Since im sending the Sire Z7 back on Monday i'll have about £500 burning a hole in my pocket which BTB's do you fancy ?....some of the the newer BTB's have also caught my eye, there's a Ibanez BTB845V (a japanese only released 33" scale E-C) i quite fancy on the bay atm and there's a BTB SC (BTB865SC....WTF is it with ibbys lame naming....) up on Zenmarket that im mulling over (im a sucker for singlecuts) but with shipping/Import that would be up at around £600 & 3 months wait (i refuse to pay £120 to ship a bass via air vs £40 for surface)
