This is a wonderful bass in very good condition. It was purchased new from Bass Direct and has never been gigged. I will also throw in a Bass Direct hard case, purchased at the time. I'm reluctantly selling for financial reasons, so please do not offer trades. Here's the current Bass Direct advert, which lists it at a new price of £2699 The bass I'm selling is exactly the same spec. Each scratch guard has a unique pattern. It comes with a factory-fitted Hipshot drop-D Extender. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/sandberg-california-ii-ida-nielsen-4/ Here's the Sandberg blurb: A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy, Ida Nielsen became known to audiences around the world as Prince’s bass player. For her virtuoso style between funky slaps and pushing grooves, she has for some time been swearing by electric basses from the Braunschweig cult smithy Sandberg, who have tailored her a signature bass according to her ideas with the Sandberg California TM4 Ida Nielsen. Accordingly, the classically constructed four-string has a bird’s-eye maple fretboard, Sandberg Black Label pickups with active 2-band tone control and a D-tuner for lightning-fast drop-tunings. The Spec: •Origin: Germany •Body Wood: Alder •Colour: Black •Finish: Soft Aged •Neck Finish: Satin •Neck Material: Birdseye Maple •Fingerboard: Birdseye Maple •Pickups: Sandberg Black Label •Preamp: Sandberg 2 Band •Pickguard: Black •Hardware: Gold + Hipshot Extender •Frets: 22 •String Spacing: 19mm •Nut Width: 40mm •Scale Length: 34” •Weight: 8lb11oz/3.95kg

Interesting topic at everyone's heart - thanks for posting. Like many I'm a creature of habit, and usually start a gig with some mid scoop on my amp ?? without trying to find out what the room needs. Then spend the first set tweaking. That said even when I have had nice basses with the great flexible pre- Amps. I find myself never altering the Pan from center, I rarely boost bass or treble, but find the bass's Para-mid my go to adjustment, song to song. My main working bass for about 12 years was a Shuker with soap bars and a 5 knob East pre, with a passive tone knob. just used that and the Para-mid. I Just got a Sadowsky NYC with soap bars, the organic tone of the bass is amazing in the Low, low- Mids. Again Pan stays center, It doesn't need any active boost Low or High with Amp set flat. Love it in Passive mode. Just getting used to having no Para - mid. I did get into a conversation with John E. about having a pre -amp with just a Vol, pan, + 2 Para mids. I think it would be really useful tool on any bass.

Stingray feeler sale/trade (K Smith, Goodfellow, Status headless)
2pods replied to roger's topic in Basses For Sale
Unfortunately, I no longer have it. It was resold on here, after I sold it when I stopped giging I loved it gigged it everywhere, dives, pubs, clubs, weddings, festivals (2 x Huge Scout Jamborees really) Fed it into a Trace AH350SMX, Trace 2x10, and Trace baby 15 it sounded brilliant. It was the quilted one. I much prefer your's though -

I bought this bass on Ebay recently and am totally blown away. I've owned loads of basses, USA Precisions, Road Worn series, Fender Japan but this trumps them all in my opinion. To me it feels like the perfect bass. I may be being hysterical but I literally can't put it down and have had it for a month now. Wow!!

And the preamp wiring… the red wire that was loose (next to the white) looks like it should go to there, so I attached it… does that look right?
-
A couple of questions…. Because I’m not having much joy here. Is this stereo jack wired correctly?
-
Hi Foya, The ACG for the Olinto maybe ? I think they’re worth about the same. The ACG Über Recurve is a véry good 6string fretless. Bit “Wal-ish” though also different in many ways ( Having owned about 6 Wal’s years ago) Easy playability for a 6er, maybe because of the neck profile (asymetric). When you’re interested maybe we could work something out. I live in the Netherlands. If you’re interested I can give a lot of info and pics of course 🙂 Best, Nels Busch

New Spector Frank Bello Signature Bass
HeadlessBassist replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Quite a lot of the EMG pickup sets are active, but without the 2/3 band EQ. Same as the Bass Centre Guy Pratt 'Betsy' signature - there's just an extra rout for a 9v battery under the scratch plate usually.
