Thank-you, it is beautiful and since the original post I have started playing it again ...but I still have too many basses so it is still for sale. -
Playing my first festival tonight now with (poor quality vids)
Pinball replied to DarkHeart's topic in General Discussion
Sounds good to me-congratulations, although the guitarist should have platform boots to go with that guitar.! We play our first festival next weekend-a beer and cider festival and we had our first practice with a drummer yesterday On the + side we're first on and get free beer and cider Don't expect a vid -
[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1373009327' post='2132647'] Can't believe the Panther hasn't sold yet! Hope if goes soon so you can get whatever you're lusting after. A cliché I know, but if it was a 5er..... [/quote] [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1373052171' post='2133320'] Someone buy this please, I'm googling prices for selling kidneys... [/quote] Thanks TR. probably just bad timing. I checked on ebay and the cheapest used Sandberg (ignoring Sandberg designed Corts and their starter range). I may have to resort to that. If I can get my £650 I'll be happy. Strangely since putting this up for sale because I wasn't playing bass I may be playing a bit of bass after all I still need to generate cash though so it has to go.

I have a blonde one of these and love it. Got to lover those hot Texas pups. Goof luck with your sale. -
It's passive, no battery space and de-fretted but well done imho. If you want pics send me your email and I'll send them

What a steal! I can't believe this is still here, such a good looking bass too! -
[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1372238912' post='2123139'] Lovely looking bass - I presume it does all the stuff Sandbergs are renowned for... [/quote] Yep certainly does, it's not just a looker. It's a serious bit of kit and a nice tactile instrument.

[quote name='John Cellario' timestamp='1371897841' post='2119272'] Free's Andy Fraser is still one on my favourite bass players even now.....some of his lines were so funky and slinky and as Betafunk says, he was so young. [/quote] +1 I was trying "The Stealer" a while back. In practice its trickier to play well than Mr Fraser makes it look.

[i]SOLD[/i] The Esh is back up for sale as I need more cash (don't seem to have enough these days ) To be honest I don't know much about it's history but I was told it was produced just before the company changed hands in the early 2000's. The controls and pup set up are unusual. It has 4 pots. One volume, one tone, one with several "[color=red][size=4]Esh[/size][/color]tronic" sound options and one with pickup combinations. With some of the pup combinations you get very little or no tone control due to the [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]preizo (hope I's spelling that right). The other settings use the "[color=red][size=4]Esh[/size][/color]tronic system" and vary the tone quite a lot. with passive/active/recording etc. There are a lot of variations.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The body finish is also interesting. It has a nice flame maple front but the edge has what I believe is a sandblasted finish so that the ash? wood grain stands out. Run you finger down the edge and it feels corrugated. Construction is good and solid. [/color][/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828] [/color][/font] one of my lighter basses Here on some pics, PM me if interested [attachment=142755:ESH.JPG] [attachment=142756:ESHbod.JPG] [attachment=142757:ESHhead.JPG] [attachment=142758:EshBK.JPG]

[quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1369243793' post='2086860'] The Nighthawk basses look the business [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.com/basscat-overview/calt-series/cal-nighthawk-tm"]http://www.sandberg-...al-nighthawk-tm[/url] [/quote] Agreed but it needs a black/ebony fret board to finish it.

They are lovely!

I wanted one of these back in 79 GL with the sale

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1366967767' post='2059513'] Well I know I would choose ESH: They look awesome. Incredible build quality. I like the way that the body shapes can look outrageous, but they've kept the woods and colours fairly conservative. They sound incredible. ESH piezo circuit sounds like a DB. No-one else uses them. Ergonomically sound; no dive, nice and light, comfortable on the strap or sitting position. For a handmade bass, good value for money. To buy new, you need to go to Mark at Bassdirect. And he's awesome. Truckstop [/quote] i +1 especially on the sound of the Prezo. I'm playing lead now and keep thinking I need so move some basses on but I'm loathed to move the move on the Esh because of the priezo sounds-so do I move on a Sandberg or my fretless-no no no can't decide. I'm a tormented soul

Nice entries! GZ

Congratulations, great looking machine!

Interesting thoughts I was tempted to say that "I have always done my own thing" but then I suddenly remembered that is plainly not true. I'm playing lead guitar again and although I wasn't rich I remember trading in all my kit for a brand new USA Strat as I loved Clapton and Hendrix. What a waste of time because 1. I wasn't that good and 2. it wasn't my sound or style so it sat in it's case for the next 20 years. so... It all depends what floats your boat. If you enjoy doing covers then obviously you need to copy and its a useful way to hone your technique but...... if you just want to have fun and/or the creative type it can be both surprising and rewarding not to be restrained by someone else's style or sound.

I'm frustrated because I have ended up playing guitar when I wanted to play bass. I'm in a merry band of 3. One plays bass, one guitar or bass and one vocals. That is me in the middle. It's good fun though so I'm rolling with it. Probably better at guitar anywayz
