    Just me - back pack for cables mic etc. Full band - big wheeled flight case. Everything goes in it except instruments and amps.

    Can the pants be worn and unwashed? Asking for a friend.

    I once had someone on here actually DEMAND that I tell them what I sold an item for to someone else! My response was not polite.
  4. fretmeister
    I hope someone noticed the lost item compensation limits on their T&C, and that it was enough.

    Cello stuff. I love it.

    [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1454671808' post='2971841'] He’s honestly not someone who’s been on my radar until purchasing this bass. I’d heard of him, of course, but had never taken the time to check out his playing. Seems very '[i]Jaco-ish'[/i]. I have a bunch of his tracks earmarked for listening to… [/quote] He likes to tell everyone who will listen that Jaco called him the best bass soloist in the world. I don't agree (I mean, where is the distortion? ), but he is very good and worth a listen.

    Uriah Heep stuff - about half an hour. Bass part for "The Dambusters March" - about 3 months to get it perfect.

    I like that a lot. And I really like it when pickups are spaced properly to give more variation in sound.

    Seymours. Antiquity for vintage, Quarter Pounders for more modern chunkiness.

    [quote name='jimbartlett' timestamp='1454593996' post='2971156'] Beautiful! Are you interested in any of my sale items? MESA cabs, MESA 400+, Epi Explorer Bass or Gibson RD 1977 [/quote] I couldn't have lifted a 400+ even when I was 20! The only trade I would be interested in would be a Marshall JCM800 2203X reissue. Nothing else will do. (Unless anyone wants to do a straight swap for a Fodera, obviously )

    I've just seen that Thomann have the newer non-Fender shape model at about £805, but without the matching headstock (£130 option), the ebony board (£145 option) and block inlays (£175 option), being about £1250 in total. (Option figures from Bass Direct site) That being said - price drop to £700 collected as I've spotted something shiny....

    Stunning basses. I've had a TM5 and I'm selling a TT4 passive as I'm only playing 5 strings now. The Sandberg neck is far nicer to me - it's slim like a jazz but the fretboard radius is 14 inches, much flatter than a Fender. The neck only has a satin oil finish and is really fast. My TT4 has a far lower action than any Fender I've ever played Also recent build models come with Sandberg's own lightweight tuners so there isn't any neck dive. The TT4 passive sounds like a good jazz should, but with modern touches like the flatter board, 22 frets etc. The active ones have a sensible 2 band EQ that doesn't get silly. I suppose the only issue is that if you want something specific, like an ebony board, or block markers, matched headstock etc - those are optional extras, so you either have to make a specific order and wait about 8 months (or 18 months if you want a heavy relic) or hope you find a dealer with the exact spec you really want. Although I'm offloading my 4 string basses, if I ever wanted another P or J type I'd buy another Sandberg. Fender wouldn't get my money.

    You nutter! These basses are amazing. I love mine.

    The new L6 Helix is awesome. Good bass models on it too. Not cheap though.

    Where in the hand exactly is the pain? It makes a real difference to treatment. I get pain which is actually referred from an ulnar canal issue and I have proper exercises from a physio that really help.
  17. fretmeister
    Both. If you like them. Neither if you don't.

    [quote name='Rubbersoul' timestamp='1454120282' post='2966745'] A bass is not cool. The person playing it is or is not cool. Cool does not describe inanimate objects. [/quote] Ah yes. Language is unchanging. When you drink and need transport do you still arrange to be conveyed by a taximetered cabriolet?

    Bass with Neck LEDs being played by a hot woman in a silver cat suit, while wearing a fez. Nothing else is cool.

    Price drop to £750.00 collected. Added a trade option too.

    The great off-load of my 4 string basses begins. For sale is my Sandberg California TT4 [b]passive[/b]. Alder body, maple neck, new Sandberg lightweight tuners. Vol / Bal / Tone. It is in high gloss white, with optional extras ebony board block inlays pearl scratchplate matched headstock colour. Using the good old "me and bass on the bathroom scales" approach to weighing it is about 8.8lb It is currently strung with quite new GHS Pressurewound strings and is in very good condition. I can't spot any dings. Comes with the Sandberg padded gig bag, which I've never really used as I transport everything in my Mono. It's a lovely bass with a great Jazz sound and I'm selling because I always take a 5 string if I'm playing anywhere. Collection only from Northants, just off Junction 16 on the M1 I have recently had surgery to repair 2 massive hernias so at present I cannot drive or meet half-way anywhere. So it is collection only I'm afraid. Looking for about £750.00 ono. Cash on collection only. At the risk of upsetting this wonderful community of bassists - the only trade I would consider is for a Marshall JCM800 2203X Reissue! (Must be the reissue as it has an FX loop worth having). More photos to follow. EDIT: As I've been asked - fretboard radius is a pretty flat / modern 14 inches. And very comfy it is too. EDIT - more photos ta

    I shall give that a try. Always looking for new music

    Neotech Mega Bass strap. Brilliant for a bad back. Amazon have them, as does Bass Gear.
  24. fretmeister
    Change the pickup and have a PJ! Gregor will get a new 'plate for you. I have a high gloss white TT4 with the ebony board, amazing bass.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1454162816' post='2967094'] OK then..I'll take them if you don't want them... Not a sellers market at the moment so unless you really need the cash I'd be inclined to hold on to them for a while.. [/quote] There is that. Used prices are awful at the moment.
