You could give them it as a loan with no end date, provided they keep it in good condition, don't swap parts, keep it well set up etc. Then when it's worth ten grand take it back and sell it.

I've only ever picked up Sandbergs to have a quick noodle and it's hard to describe but you can just feel the quality. Great basses, glad you've got a way to work around the back issues too, Loz, hope this keeps you doing what you love.

Nope. I like flats on a jazz bass. Currently have La Bella flats on my Japanese jazz and it sounds great.

@BlueMoon beat me to it. They are very good basses, they're just a lot easier to get hold of than some of the other models.

Yeah I am not going to get too excited with it... I have some individual hangers to fit elsewhere in the room for the "posh" instruments!

The screws are much longer and better quality than I was expecting. I have been very careful with this and will continue to be, only the lightest weight stuff going on there. I think four guitars on there is too many, I will only keep two or three on there at a time and none of the expensive ones!

Warwick do a 6 string lefty, I think I've seen one at the bass gallery (fretless) and one on Thomann. I think ESP also do one but not sure. No idea on quality but I bet the Warwick is decent. The only six string I've had was a Brice years ago... I think if you're going six string you have to spend the money to get a decent instrument, it's harder to get round any cheaper bits like uncomfortable neck profile, fingerboard shape, bad bridge... Etc. in my opinion.

They're kind of resting on each other... I probably need to add the third back panel if I'm going to keep more than three instruments hanging here. The set comes with three back panels and five hangers. They stick out almost a foot from the wall which is... Different.

Temu 5x guitar wall hanger (I haven't fitted 1/3 of the back plate yet), my absolutely dreadful DIY skills... What could go wrong??? There's a stack of soft cases on the floor just in case the worst does happen!

Sax player wanted for 80s covers band. 80s covers band, presently three piece (guitar, bass, drums) would love to add a sax player to really give the band a massive boost. We are looking for someone, maybe from a jazz background, who is comfortable without charts, working out their own parts, and perhaps having to try to work out other instrument parts and melodies to make up for gaps in the line up... Think about little keyboard motifs in songs and playing them on sax rather than having to hire a keyboard player... If you can sing a bit too that's great. Looking to do pub gigs and local festivals, nothing extravagant, but just want to be very, very good at it. If this appeals to you, or someone you know, please get in touch!

Very early days but me (bass) has grabbed the drummer from my current band and guitarist from a previous band to get together and play 80s covers. Ages from early 40s to early 50s. We have played together a bit as a three piece and we work well together, we now want to add a singer and a sax player further down the line. Looking to do local (Herts, Essex, Bedfordshire) pub gigs and festivals, nothing too ambitious but we want to be a good quality band. Current set list is very guitar driven but it's early enough to change things based on the singer who comes in. The singer we are looking for: male or female we don't mind at all, just as long as you have stage presence and can confidently sing a range of tunes from the era; must be excited about being in an 80s band because the music of the decade is awesome; age is not important; available to rehearse in Hertford weekly or every other week; comes to rehearsal with a good idea of how the agreed songs go and where the vocal cues are; has sung in bands before; plays a part in song choices musical arrangement; I think that's it! Going to do some rough recordings soon to give an idea of the feel we are creating so far.
