Hello, Does anyone have any experience of these Schecter Simon Gallup sig Ultra Basses? I think they are a very new item but its based on the old ultrabass. I really like the looks of it and its been a bit upgraded form the basic model too. I'm waiting to hear back how much these are so will update this post when i have the info.

Sold my Ashdown Spyder 550 head to Dean and would happily sell him loads more stuff as he is great to deal with.

Really? "ranting" sounds like its not good then. can you send the link for the thread, thisnameistaken? jimijimmi, so the white one is yours? Thats the one that turned me on to these basses, its so simple looking but its stunning. Can i be a bit forward and ask how much you paid for your custom and thanks for the info regarding the postal options.

Please, please, please, keep us updated on how this turns out.

I recently came across this maker CATALDO who has been producing gorgeous examples of the classic John Entwistle "Fenderbird" type basses. Its obvious from all the stuff i've read so far that the attention to detail and quality of workmanship is very high but it will cost well over a grand to import one from the USA. Has anyone got one/had one/wants to trade one?

Thanks for your thoughts on this, I'll pass them on. By the way StingrayPete, you surprised me when saying EB are making better models than the originals. Is it just better fit and finish or have they gone deeper. Since my friend started asking these questions and reading your feedback (Thankyou both) its actually sparked my interest in the Stingray HH. Bloody GAS its a terrible thing isnt it?

Hi All, I've been asked by a bassist friend what i thought of Sandberg and i really dont know anything about them as they are not on my radar when it comes to GAS. He was asking specifically about the Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor model which i have to say, Googling a photo a bit later (4 string Black, High Gloss), looks nice and features the twin humbuckers sported by the Musicman Stingray HH. Its not cheap but neither is a Stingray. I did use to own an old pre-Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray about 5 years ago and i was very impressed by its build quality and tone. I think he should go for a Musicman HH Stingray over the Sandberg but have no experience of the Ernie Ball models so am i wrong on this one?
