What extra £150? I ordered the original Marcus 800. The shop contacted me to say they didn't have any but they had spoken to the distributor and they would like to offer me the Gold Line version for the same money! So I said yes! My Sandberg is getting an upgrade this weekend (EMG preamp to go with the EMG pickups) so it will be interesting to see how it all works together.

I did get the gold line. They are different. Has a semi parametric instead of the Millerizer scoop control.

Yup. Just get a Marcus Miller model. Job done.

Loved: Demeter VTBP M- 800 D (Still hate myself for selling it). Like a lot: Darkglass M900 and Mark bass Marcus Limited Goldline Not bad: Genz Benz Shuttle and Genz Streamliner Didn't like: TecAmp Puma and Mark Bass F1

The BF one10 is what I'm using with my big band. I have a pair but indoors with an audience of 180-200 I don't need it. If we are playing outside then I take the other one as well.

I'd love one, but ignoring the price for a moment, there is no way I'm going back to carrying that sort of weight ever again!

My EBMM Stingray 5 is a smidge over 8.5lb (yes, the 5 string! Yes it has been modified) My precision is 7 3/4 lb And my Sandberg TT4 jazz is about 6.5 lb. I won't buy another bass over 8lb anymore.

EBMM should discontinue the Sterling and just re-introduce the SLO neck option for the new Stingray Specials. Especially if they are not going to do a lightweight update to the Sterling.

I use a 1x10 with a drummer, and another 20 brass and reeds players too. No no issues at all.

She's a great player. Her solo stuff is pretty good too. Certainly fresher than the Satriani / Vai stuff that is sounding a bit tired now.

Looks are about 10th on my list of things to worry about when it comes to buying a bass. 1: Weight 2: Balance 3: Neck profile / nut width 4: Number of strings 5: Tone 6-9 whatever is annoying me. 10: colour 11 fingerboard colour

Darkglass M900

More info...

Some jazz. Trumpet, bass, piano. No percussion. Pelt is a phenomenal trumpeter.

Just read it will be £244 per band member / crew / driver etc for each visa for EU bands to play here.

There's a WANTED section in the classifieds. Need to put your request there.

They are very close. I like White Nylons. Good string, last a long time too. I had them on my Hyperbass for a while.

Line6 Sonic Port and AmpliTube free if you have an iPhone. Wont need the auxiliary in then, will read straight from iTunes library including slowing tracks down.

Booo - the rack isn't included in the price!

Have you emailed Sandberg? They might have some spares still.

I’ve got the 70 and a 75. Been great. Do scan every time you use it though.

I was hoping it was being bought by Behringer. Just to annoy the mainly USA based people who object to anything not made by hand by American virgins.

I had one. I found it sterile compared to my old LM2. I didn't keep it long.

This. its blumming marvellous.
