Very posh. Nice one. Dave

That Stingray looks the part Mart. Nice one. Dave

As long as the fun is there, its worthwhile. 👍 Dave

As much as i liked Bruce Foxton in The Jam i think Ali McMordie was the better player for me. His style suited SLP better. Both great players tho. Dave 200 mile trip home is a fair old jaunt. All credit to you on that one. Dave

Must admit i'd never heard of them before joining the punk band but was pleasantly surprised how great the band were. Dave

I forgot we did At the Edge too. Another fantastic song with catchy basslines. Gotta Getaway is a cracking bassline. Dave

We used to do Ulternative Ulster, Gotta Getaway, Nobody's Hero. All great songs to play. I miss the punk band. Dave

Great to see you are getting busy gigs there Mike. I miss the punk band a lot and a lot more than i would ever have thought coming from a Classic rock and Prog. So much energy and power in the songs i just loved playing them especially SLF. Shame it fell thru. Dave

short gig tonight Daryl. 8-10 ? Dave

Great stuff Rob. I have a lot to catch up on from your website. Dave

You could give me one of yours then my bass would be perfect and you just need 2 screws. Worth a try. Dave

Any ideas where i could get a saddle screw for my MarloweDK. One of the locking screws is missing, possibly since buying it 2nd hand. Its never made any difference to playability. Dave

Don't know off-hand what size the allen key is but this might help in set up. Its not so bad once you know what every screw does Dave Sandberg Manual.pdf

Quite a change from a Ripper and Thunderbird. I've got the VM4 and MarloweDK Jazz. The VM4 i'm just very comfortable with. Probably more than any other bass. Its reasonably lightweight with a gorgeous comfy neck. I always seem to get a decent sound from it altho i do miss that warm Fender depth of tone that the Sandbergs miss but not enough so that i would change anything on them. Once in a mix its not really that noticeable. They are simply superb playable basses. I never seem to get hand cramp with my Bergs but using my Geddy Jazz or even a P bass i somehow get cramp on my fret hand. Dave

Love the necks on my Sandbergs but sometimes i have doubts about the pick ups being too modern and then i gig them and think "WOW that was a great sound i had tonight" and all is well in the world again. Always wondered how the Electra P range sounds. I know you get active and passive ones. Dave

Rob the link on the website to download isn't working. ? Grace Under Pressure is another great Rush album. Quite like the overall production / sound altho a bit more Geddy bass would have added even more to it. Dave

Struggling with this one Rob. Had no idea how complex the bass part was. Typical Geddy tho. Its all those ghost notes that got me. Dave

They do punch well above their physical size plus they are quite a loud amp. When i had them i never went thru any PA and was playing decent sized clubs with them too. Stick with them. If they work, they work. Don't fix what aint broke. I'm afraid i sold mine and have been looking ever since. Dave

Those little MB combos and cabs are very deceiving. I couldn't quite hear myself on stage but move out front and its right there in the mix. I kinda miss my MB rig. Nice tone that just works in a full band set up. We keep looking at Agents but can't find a decent honest one. Perhaps those 2 traits don't go hand in hand. Dave

you and me both Mike. Dave

Link isn't working Mike. ? Dave

Now i get it. Dave
