Has anyone got a Sandberg 32? They don't really advertise it, but they will make every model as a 32 and the additional custom cost is the same as for a 35 scale of anything. I saw someone on facebook with a 32 scale VS4 (P bass type) and it looked fantastic. I'm so comfy on 32 scale that I'm giving serious thought to selling off the 34 scale stuff and getting a Sandberg built.

Used Roland bass cube 30 would be ace if you can find one for £100 ish. Ive had mine for a good 15 years and it’s ace.

I think EMG do both length versions.

When I played guitar in a band the bassist had one of them. Sounded great but it was heavy. Then he got the Trace 410 to go with it and I stopped offering to help him carry!

Nice. I like them.

I never had a good player but in my teens I had a lot of LPs. CDs are far more convenient and they solve a problem that LPs and cassette both have - no more need to change get out of a chair to swap sides! That being said - a big old gatefold sleeve with great photos is lovely. First one I got like that was Iron Maiden's "Live after death" with the massive Eddie stage picture on the inside. Awesome.

I'm going to be that guy... If the bass is in the PA - is it actually important?

If you swap the other connection on the preamp you'll get another 6db output when the preamp is active. Depends whether you like to have the same level with it on or off really. I had my side dots drilled out and replaced with bright white plastic dots. Much better!

If anyone is looking for the guitar version, there is one on sale on the fretboard for £200 I don't know the seller. https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/212683/fs-boss-waza-air#latest

With that variety of cabs I'm amazed you haven't found it. Does the amp you are using have enough headroom? Are you over compressing the signal?

I use for following paid ones: Sheetmusicdirect Sheet Music Plus Jellynote All good.

I keep looking at that yellow one. It's amazing! Can you tell me more about it?

How much does a refinish cost?

I’m going to put mine up for trades this weekend. (I have paid my subs!) See what interesting things I get offered!

I wonder if they are planning an update, or maybe it just didn't sell in the numbers they needed to keep it going? I don't think I've seen that many out on the pub gig circuit.

If you search in the Build Diary bit of the forum a few people have made one. I think @Dood has done 2 of them!

I’ve watched all the vids now. It seems like a power amp with a crippled QC bolted to the front of it, and then needs a phone to control it properly, or the purchase of the no doubt planned midi controller.

Interesting that BTW are openly saying the firmware needs work.

Clean amp with lots of things going on....

And an explanation of the Hyperbass itself

Michael Manring has been using piccolo strings for years on his Hyperbass There's a quick explanation and then a tune

Beautiful! Im very jealous!

I had a Zon Hyperbass. I really enjoyed playing it. I sold it when I realised I was never going to get a bass only gig in the East Midlands. It was an amazing bass and very very high quality. I do miss it, but I also know that it would probably come out of its case 2 or 3 times a year just for a couple of hours.

the 5 string 1005SMS is a multi scale only, so it needs the 6 string pickups… cost me £300!

Then you need 2!!!
