Just received Clives' ebow, super easy transaction and super swift dispatch. Exactly as described, top chap

Chris was the linchpin in a 3 way deal whereby his mate got my G&L and I got his mates' ACG, not a clue how he made it work but I have a lovely ACG and his mate has a lovely G&L, the man is a wizard of some kind

Superb packaging too

Holy smokes! This is my dream db!! aaaaarrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!

Absolutely superb rig, I loved mine, sounded amazing!

Sad times matey but what a glorious rig!

I do rather want this so I can give it a whirl with the band! Would you consider trades with you adding some cash to make it work?

well that's the first Sandberg I've ever liked the look of

deal with confidence, Guillaume is a top chap

Fretless Precisions always sound great. I had a bitsa once made from an '83 neck and a no-name body and really liked it. Lovely soft, articulate, expressful tone with a subtle mwah that you o my get from a P pup.

I have no doubt that this one would sound even more lovely! I'd gladly have this one if funds allowed and I'd use it every day. A bass this gorgeous deserves to be used!

Thanks matey, if it had a j pup at the bridge it'd still be perfect as I love the feel of it and the tone from the p pup...I'd just like a bit more j with my p

Quite tempted to have this back, I had the bassdoc neck fitted

What are the controls on the preamp please?

This weekend would probably be the best if you are available, then it could be possible.

Sometime Sunday evening might work as we get back from Northumberland Saturday evening

To be clear, it is probably likely that the bass will be in Sheffield from Thursday but I do not have capacity to allow to try it at mine for the time being.

Regards,

James.

An acoustic test is sufficient to see whether it has the character I'm looking for, I could also bring my headphone amp and phones to check the sounds

If this is still around at the weekend when am home in Sheffield I may ask to come and meet it

Dammit I really really NEED to meet a fretless Wal now

Importing amps is a potential minefield!

For all the reasons stated above, if it's cheap enough to make it worthwhile after import duty and vat have also been paid and once you've got a transformer for it that you'll also have to lug everywhere as well as your new 'amp baby'...dude it better be cheap!

I've always felt the SWR 350 and 750 were rather disappointing - surprisingly lacking in oomph.

Not my dream amp either but hey, one mans' dream is another mans' nightmare innit

Good information guys appreciate it.
[/quote]

No probs buddy, I've only ever had compliments about the sound sent to f.o.h. so far

[quote name='SteveFate' timestamp='1445602923' post='2892741']
Just a standard 1/4 jack to xlr into DI? I was about to grab a radial jdx48 as I thought it was the only 'viable' option, placing it between head and cab

Thanks in advance
[/quote]

Even simpler bud...obbm jack-Jack from slave-out to a radial pro 48 passive Di box, xlr out of there to the f.o.h.

F.o.h. just needs to supply phantom power

yeah I got my eye on that one matey, seller isn't keen on a trade as he's after a Sandberg but if someone would like to buy this beauty I'll be asking him very nicely to send me that new toy

These are phenomenal basses - GLWTS! [/quote]

Thanks guys, she's great to play and sounds great, I just fancy something a bit more 'toit'

Thanks guys, great to see so much love for these Orangey gods of rock

I love the dynamic capability of these, it goes from a whisper that's heard everywhere at once to bowel shaking force everywhere at once all with subtle touches on my bass controls and changes in my playing attack/position
