    If you're loving the 414, a 434 would be worth checking out! I have a 435 and it's blown me away in terms of feel and tone, I think they've really stepped it up on the new range! The pickups are essentially the same as in the high end models, the only real difference is the body construction (although it's solid Alder which is pretty standard), and the bridge is BBOT style, but I've had no issues with it. Highly recommended!

    More or less! The country of manufacture is different I think, and the NE2 is obviously the Nathan sig, so I guess that bumps the price up a bit. We had a 2005 on the shop I worked on years ago, and it was awesome, bit out of my price range at the time!

    Oh really?! I'll have to have a look! What do you mean by different label?

    I'd love a BB2005, but they don't seem to come up very often....

    Well, after all this, I've ended up looking at a 5 string J! 😂

    😍😍😍 That's gorge! The spacing always looks super tight on these though?

    Yes Steve... 😭

    Hi folks! This bass is just incredible, probably my favourite ever, but I've had a bit of a change of direction and it needs a new home. This was my second sandberg custom build, built around 2013/14. It's very lightweight and ergonomic, very balanced tonally, versatile, and features that incredible sandberg neck feel! I upgraded to a swamp ash body which not only looks stunning (pics don't do it justice!), but it's incredibly lightweight at around 3.7kg, and it works exceptionally tone - wise with the maple fretboard. I also upgraded to a 3 band eq (these models normally come with 2 band). The natural headstock was also an upgrade, as these would come with a black one as standard. It is actually a veneer with a black accent layer in between. Specs : Swamp ash body with matt cherry sunburst finish Maple neck and fretboard Natural headstock Black hardware 2x dual coil soapbars 3 band Glockenklang eq with true passive bypass and passive tone control Comes with original sandberg gigbag There are a couple of very minor dings in the body, I can attempt to photograph these if you like. No trades sorry. If you're nearby, you're more than welcome to come and try! Thanks for looking! 😊👍

    Hi folks! Tis with a heavy heart I am advertising my first Sandberg custom build! This incredible bass was built for me in 2011/12 from memory, and has served me well. The ebony fretboard was a substantial upcharge, but is by far the nicest I've ever played. Really comfortable to play, very balanced across the tonal spectrum, hugely versatile, and of course THAT sandberg neck feel! Specs: Alder body with virgin white high gloss finish Maple neck, ebony fretboard Matched headstock Sandberg power humbuckers x2 with coil split switch (outer coils) 3 band Glockenklang eq with true passive bypass and passive tone control Comes with original sandberg gigbag Not looking for any trades sorry. Welcome to come and try it out if you're in the area 😊👍 Thanks for looking!

    Vanderkley now sold, but the fantastic Aguilar AG700 is still available! 😊👍

    I do love the look of the schecters, and by all accounts they're superb, but I just couldn't go back to 35" scale I don't think.

    I've found with my BB that rolling the bridge pickup off a little gives you predominantly 'that' P bass sound, but you still get just enough bite from the bridge pickup to add definition to the B string.

    Vanderkley sold pending collection /payment, Aguilar still currently available. Thanks
  22. TRBboy
    In my experience, you need the P pickup to be normal orientation if you want to be able to nail that classic sound, but as long as you've also got a bridge pickup, you can dial in a nice tight sounding B. I love the look of the DE Jackson, it's perfect, apart from the 35"scale for me, I just don't like that extra length these days. If I'm being completely honest with myself, the only reason I'm looking at something else is purely aesthetics.... The BB435 is absolutely perfect and feels /sounds like a bass 3-4 times the price. But... I do love a maple fretboard, and something that looks like the sandberg I posted above would tick all the boxes. But maybe I just need to get over my vanity and stock with the BB! 🤦‍♂️

    Oooh, very nice! Do they do a 5 string? Asking for a friend..... 😏
  24. TRBboy
    Thanks, that's already on my radar, I've asked Sandberg if they can do a non-reverse P, and they can! TBF their VS models have a non-reverse P. I'm also looking at going passive VVT instead of the preamp. 😊👍
  25. TRBboy
    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I do like the look of the Sires, but I wanted a passive bass really, and the preamp on those looks especially overcomplicated. Part of my issue is that although I love my Yamaha, I'd love something with a maple board and more colour options.... I find myself looking at yet another sandberg, even though it'll be a bit more pricy. I'm just not sure it'll give me the 'traditional' tone I'm after.... But it would look and play great!
