It never looks convincing... you can't rush the real deal, it takes time... [/quote] Workin on the look now for forty years. Don't have a beer gut but the skinhead and psycho-trauma are all present and correct. Am I ready for the sandberg shop yet?

[quote name='IBWT' timestamp='1400593142' post='2455230'] Hi Gareth thank you for the advice, I will gladly follow them The B stands for something much more obvious than Belfast... [/quote] In blondes we trust ? Can't beat a bit of the Empire, either upstairs or the lower room stage either which requires considerable skill as it's so small - or it used to be anyhow, I haven't been in over twelve years. It was the first place I've ever seen a singer vomit over the drummer. Quite spectacular when you saw the drummers reaction - on a tiny stage where there's room for a gnat fart and little else. I have such fond memories of sixth form rugby training in that place.

This is a lovely looking relic job. I've been lusting after one of these for a bit but I've a custom build ordered at ACG which needs paid for still. Maybe a Christmas present later this year. If you are a young specimen of a bass player do sandberg do player makeovers to match the bass?

I've been using a source audio pro bass distortion for a bit and despite the rather plain appearance I have to say it is a fantastic piece of kit. Don't be fooled by the bland baby blue box. It makes plenty of useful noises but doesn't do the traditional OFD hence the OFD modeler question. Anybody have any experience with one before I decide to buy ?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400146354' post='2451116'] This is really not sour grapes, but every time I hear a Fodera I think it sounds a bit lightweight... but I've never played one, so what do I know. [/quote] Ha... I've never played one neither, so I genuinely don't know cuz I'm about £5,000 shy of the price tag. Like I said though I'd need to live to about 250 before I could afford one. Bang for buck the G+L was a powerhouse, but a little thick in the neck in the tribute series. Good luck with finding your twin HB nirvana. Stingray would be mine, I had a 25th anniversary SR5 with HSS setup and it looked lovely but sounded crap. The stock HH I hear is a total gem.

You could always try these Fodera basses, I'm sure their double humbucker would suffice... ;-) I'm planning on ordering a couple when Ive worked enough overtime, maybe for my 249th birthday or something. In all seriousness you can't go wrong with the G+L double HB setup. It's a beast of a bass with a vastly versatile pallet of noises.
