  1. I know CH are a budget brand and they are built in the same factory as all the others - but I remember Paul_C having a 6 string, and after he set it up properly (he is a luthier after all!) it was bloody brilliant! Easy worth the money you are asking. Have a bump!
  2. Selling my TC RH750 It is about 2 months old and is in factory perfect condition. I am the first owner. The only reason I'm selling is that I bought this and a Genz Shuttle 9.2 at about the same time (wife wasn't happy!) and I prefer the Genz with my existing cabs. If I could afford to get some Berg cabs AND keep the RH750 then I would! But I can't! Full spec is here: [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/rh750.asp"]http://www.tcelectronic.com/rh750.asp[/url] I'm looking for[b] £625.00 + delivery[/b], or collection from Northants. I am quite happy to post fully insured - as seen from my Feedback I really know how to over do the packing on an amp [u][b][color=#FF0000]NOW £625.00 INCLUDING INSURED SPECIAL DELIVERY[/color][/b][/u] I need the money to go into my Berg cab fund so I'm not really looking for trades. ta Paul.
  3. [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1347360174' post='1799700'] I didn't make it over to the shop yesterday due to impromptu plans by my missus to spend some time celebrating our anniversary! I will get over there on the weekend to try the cab. Thanks for all your comments guys. [/quote] A 5 minute delay is hardly a justification for not going bass shopping!
  4. I use a pair of Visual Sound One-Spots
  5. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1347281581' post='1798754'] True! Not heard these new ones yet. Must admit my amps and cabs are pretty much spot on now so I tend to look at basses which is also now getting to the 'ive got enough' stage. [/quote] BURN THE HERETIC!
  6. Schecter used to do a longer scale bass 4 string tuned in 5ths from a low C. Was quite nice and was only a headf*** for an hour or so!
  7. Having 2 M5's would be more fun!
  8. Dunno. But we have a Daisy Rock bass and it's great! I'd be happy to gig it!!
  9. I used a Tech21 VT for that purpose with my old Hartke rig. Was very nice. Not tried a DHA so I can't compare.
  10. I just met Mark on the M1. He is now the proud owner of my silver Sandberg. Couldn't have asked for a smoother deal! Good to meet you! (The only downside was that when I got back inside to have a double Whopper with cheese the BK had stopped serving beef as their broilers had broken. Gutted really!)
  11. IIRC the Sennheiser Freeport is going to be affected by the Spectrum changes. Won't be legal anymore. I tried the Stage Clix at Bass Direct the other week and I will be buying when I get some more money! Was excellent AND... the transmitted charges from the receiver when not in use!! No more 9V expense! [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Stage_Clix.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Stage_Clix.html[/url]
  12. Leave the tone control in the middle. Blend in the middle, volume up full. They are nicely sensitive to playing position so your hands do the rest. Wonderful basses!
  13. I have a RH750, about 2 months old that I might be able trade but I would be looking for your amp and some cash as the new prices are quite different. Any good to you?
  14. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1347023649' post='1796131'] Im a bit worried about their customer service to be honest...only because of a few horror stories. [/quote] Really? They've had at least £5000 out of me over the years and they've been ace every time
  15. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1347011804' post='1795910'] If the Marlowe DK was available in the UK close to the Thomann price I think I'd pounce. [/quote] So buy it from Thomann then!
  16. I am selling / trading my Sandberg JM4/TM4. I got it from Heather (BassMaiden) and these are her photos. There have been no changes on the bass. It can run active or passive and when in passive mode the Treble control turns into an old fashioned tone knob. The humbucker is a bit further back than on a 'ray but it does a good impression, and in single coil mode it does a lovely back pickup Jazz bark. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here is Heather's original sale thread[/font][/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168592-sandberg-california-jm4-custom-finish/page__hl__sandberg%20jm4"]http://basschat.co.u..._sandberg%20jm4[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a custom finish so the new price was a wopping £1800, but obviously I don't think paint is worth that much. The finish is amazing - it is silver over blue, so when you get close to it, the pattern in the silver is blue![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I did agree with her used value of £900 though - as I traded a mint Bongo 5HH for it in a straight swap.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So I'd be looking to get back about the same value.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I haven't gigged it at all and I know Heather played it only in her church band. The condition is unchanged from the pics. It comes with a very nice Sandberg gig bag. It's currently strung with a pretty new set of D'addario Nickels 45-105 and the action is mentally low. I think even if you just dropped to 40-100 you'd need to tweak the truss rod![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No rattles, dings, nothing.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The only thing that seems to affect Sandbergs is the barrel jack socket - it's fine with a regular cable but it doesn't like the Neutrik Pop-free solenoid jacks that have a push in collar on them. Another invention that didn't need inventing that I still bought[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling because my ancient, modified and brutalised Status Energy from about 1993 is still my main bass despite my efforts to spend money on other instruments.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So I'm looking for a sale at about £900 or a trade of something of equivalent value, or less with some cash my way. It comes with a very nice Sandberg gig bag.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm more interested in trades for amps than more basses, but you never know, so ask![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Collection preferred (near J16 on the M1 - Northants) but I can box and ship too.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]cheers[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Paul.[/font][/color]
  17. If you buy on line you can return it in 7 days under the Distance Selling Regulations.
  18. I have a TM4 that I will shortly be listing for sale (hint!!) The only reason is that my old favourite (a very modified early 90s Status) gets all the bass love in my house to the point where if I was honest (don't tell the wife) I wouldn't need to own anything else. Anyway - the TM4 - it is built like a much more expensive instrument, the 2 band active is brilliant but it still sounds great in passive mode - there doesn't seem to be a compromise at all. And amazingly for a wood neck bass, I've got the action as low as on my status with zero rattle. The neck is superb. I can't see anyone ever regretting buying a Sandberg.
  19. Phone the general enquiry line at Parcel Force - tell them you want to pay over the phone! Ignore the "official" payment line and go through a human being
  20. [quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1346419199' post='1789016'] Still bassless. It arrived at the International Hub (Coventry i believe) on the 28th and its still with awaiting customs [/quote] I got mine from Yuma too. Great service... but It took 8 working days at customs. Keep watching the Parcel Force site - as soon as it says "Duty to be paid" - don't wait for the letter with the charges, just phone them up. They'll be able to find it without any reference numbers - then you can pay over the phone and get it delivered the next day.
  21. Cool! I should say there is now a P bass pickup between the 2 j pups! Just like with my other one.
