This is extremely tempting! Are you after a quick sale...? Also where abouts are you based?

[quote]EDIT. And I now have slight GAS for an Urge.[/quote]

Ive had my Urge II for a coupla years now...quite simply they are the best basses in the world IMO! If you can get your hands on one you'll never take them off of it!

I'm gutted I havent been able to get to any of these. I'm dying to see Stu play...damn work!

The Urge 1 was a 32" but they updated the Uge 2 to a full 34" scale.

I have a Fender Stu Hamm Urge 2 and that has strings through body configuration and I use Rotosound RB45s. Theyre an excellent string and not to pricey either.

hey badass

have you played through this amp yet...? Im trying to lay hands on the 2x10 combo from this hydrive range and curious as to what they are like sound wise etc.

have a bump on me

Cheers,
Will

thats the nicest ray ive ever seen! have a bump on me! Will

cheers voxpop it is a lush bass...i wish i didnt have to get rid of it! After the credit card is paid off I might regret it!

here is the sandberg website with the technical specs that should cler up anythings i forgot to mention : [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/basic-basses-top/basic"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-ove...asses-top/basic[/url]

just to let everyone know ill have the pictures up tomorrow

Bank Holiday BUMP

Howdy lads and ladies!

I recently made a bit of an impulse purchase of a Sandberg Basic 4, thinking it would compliment my fender nicely and be great for my band...but it seems my fender is simply the best bass for me, and have now suddenly realised i can't afford it at all...you know what they say about hindsight!

The bass itself is in great condition...as new as it is only a few weeks old and it hasn't yet been gigged. It sounds amazing, single musicman style humbucker in the mid position, active with 1 volume, 1 mid, 1 bass and 1 treble control (3 band eq?). The bass is translucent blue with a white pickguard. it comes with sandberg stainless strings .40 guage. Its very nice to play, very similar to a ray I tried not so long ago. it is still able to have a free setup courtesy of guitarworks in reading, I am not sure if this is open to second time buyers I will go in and ask them.

I paid £800 for it brand new so would like as close to this as physically possible, make me near offers guys, as i need to pay off the credit card I'm not open to trades im afraid.

I will post pics up as soon as I can, hopefully later today. people are more than welcome to come and see and try the bass out, i live in windsor. I wouldnt like to post it as it only comes with a gigbag but we can arrange delivery for petrol money or something along those lines, collection is obviously welcome too!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and sorry my spelling and general english is awful in places, please let me know if i have failed to mention anything that needs to be or on any improvements that are required!

Will

oh yeah i just saw the post you made about the price of the cab...thats me being a tad blind for you! I'll have a check to see if i can afford this somehow and I'll pm you as soon as ive worked out my finances. Cheers for the fast reply!

Will

is this still available...i am rather interested! have you any idea on a price?

cheers,

Will

are you definitely against splitting this rig up...i have a great head but am dying to get my hands on a markbass cab! please let me know if youd consider it at all and let me know a price for the cab if you willing to split it.

Cheers

Will

the Mag 600 has two 1/4" jack connections, I have the same head and the same problem when I was looking at getting one.

Will

I'm very interested in the Ampeg

I've got someone possibly interested in my Ashdown Mag410, If that sells I'll definitely have it off you, I'll PM you when I know more

I'd be well up for this as I haven't yet been able to come along to a bass bash so it would be great! I'm in Windsor but am more than willing to drive to Guildford or anywhere in between.

Will

Hello

I am embarking upon a new random custom bass which will use a single Musicman style pickup. I am after some guidance about them as its safe to say I'm fairly clueless on this subject!
I have looked at Seymour Duncans, EMGs and Bartolini however except for a name they all seem pretty much the same! I'm planning on using active circuitary for it. I don't really have a budget planned as of yet (awaiting quotes for a body and sourcing a neck, whatever I'm left with will be spent on the pickup and controls).
Was also wondering about preamps and things to use with said pickup...?

Cheers in advance

Will

PM regarding Bartolini pickup

Hello

I'm after the musicman sound but having played a couple of stingrays and a sterling I couldn't get comfortable with either of them and I can't quite put my finger on why. Seeing as I love jazz basses I hatched a plan to try and get my hands on a jazz style body routed for MM pickup. So far I've found that Warmoth can do it but I'm not a huge fan of ordering from the states. Has anyone on here orfered from Warmoth before...?

Alternatively is there anywhere I can get it done in the UK...?

Cheers

Will

Yeah Urges do seem to hold their value! I would love to have an Urge I, I have an Urge II and it's the perfect bass for me would love to give an Urge I a go!

Will

does this mean youre Urge Mk1 will be up for sale...?

cheers

Will

Wow I didn't realise it would be so major I'll stick to something a bit easier and simpler for my first project then.

Cheers guys! Dunno what I'd do without basschat!

Will

Greetings

I have spotted myself a MM Sterling on EBay in need of some repair and TLC and I wanna get it as my first project. It was listed as having a few minor wiring faults, in need of a respray and the fretboard needs to be reglued other than that in a playable state just not the prettiest bass ever. However, he has added, as of yesterday, that the neck is twisted...is this repairable and if not where can I get hold of a MM neck, preferabley sterling type neck?

Cheers in advance!

Will

Was this in Guitarworks by any chance?!

I found my perfect bass already: Fender Stu Hamm Urge II, its actually amazing (imo). I'm in the middle of customizing it atm; black hardware, respray white and abalone pickguard and then it will be perfect!

I wouldn't mind having the same neck and body as the Urge II but with a MM humbucker in it that could be a bit fruity!

you have a pm regarding the CS3

Very interested in the CS3, is it still available?

Cheers, Will
