[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1346178791' post='1786211'] I saw the single pup model in GAK this weekend. It looked OK, but meh,didn't try it. Looked like a bit of a toy. Had a bang on a £2.6K Gretsch instead [/quote] I went in there this weekend and tried it out. It wasn't brilliant, thought the string they had on it were pretty much dead. tried the Squier Classic Vibes single coil one and was extremely impressed. A/B-ed it against a Mex 50's reissue P bass and it actually sounded better. I'm definitely thinking about picking that up.

Thanks man! Had a look at their website, looks like a awesome bunch of guys there, amazing work. Shall be calling tomorrow.

I'm looking for someone to cut me a custom gold anodized pickguard. I have a Stingray 4 with double humbuckers, and I love the pickguard for the 5 string version, but I dont like playing 5 strings. Does anyone out there know of a pickguard maker who can cut me a 5 string Stingray pickguard but for a 4 string made in gold anodized stuff?

Bought a LMB 3 from Chris. Delivered on time and works all fine. Good buy and will buy again!

Bought a OC-2 from Al embic. A Kind man indeed, included next day shipping with tracking free of charge and the pedal works great! Would recommend and will be buying froim him again if anything catches my eye!

One can only hope! I had one of those Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster basses once (similar pickup position to the Sandberg) and that did throw out some thump! My front pickup on my Stringray HH doesn't throw out as much bass, but that is probably due to the pickup being an inch or so back from that position.

Hey guys Just wanted to throw an idea at you. With all of these mid powered micro amps out right now (Eden WTX's, Markbass LittleMark, etc etc), has anyone had the idea to mount the amp onto a pedalboard? This is what I'm doing at the moment, and I see a couple benefits of it. - With all your pedals and cables in box/board, its easy to keep track of your gear, and easier to move. - If you run and effects loop with your amp like I do, there can be a ton less cables running around the stage as the amp is litterally 2 inches away from the pedals. - Less signal loss from not having miles of cables - If you use a wireless with your set up, You can have only one cable running across the stage, which would be a speaker cable. - Changing setting on the amp mid song if needed can be as simple and quick as changing a setting on a pedal. The only con I can think of is that if the amp has a DI out on it, and is being used as the primary DI for the night for bass, It wont be where the soundman expects it, but this can be easily remedied with a extra XLR cable. I'd like to know your thoughts on this, Does anyone else do this or have thought about doing it with your microamp? Have you encountered any problems? I would take a picture of my set up, but I am part way through changing it. Hopefully can post a picture of it when its all done!

Like a mix between a 72 P Bass and a Stingray I'd say.

Hey guys, I'm a little confused about something I saw on Thomman earlier today. Was just having a quick gander at some Sandberg basses and I came across this: http://www.thomann.de/gb/sandberg_seventy_two_rd.htm Its a pretty bass IMO, so I tried to find out more about it. Surprisingly, its not mentioned at all on the Sandberg website, or featured in their 2012 catalogue. Skimming through the picture and videos of the most recent MusikMesse, there was no sight of it at their booth at all. The only place that seems to mention it is the Thomman website. Has anyone heard of it/know more about this bass, and if possible direct me to some sound samples of it? I might just be a very poor researcher! Cheers guys
