[quote name='Lozz196' post='971872' date='Sep 29 2010, 05:04 PM']2 things in my view: 1. A bass player that can`t lock in with the drummer 2. A bass player who doesn`t play for the song, only for themselves - as in "look at me, I`m so good"[/quote] +1 for the above And who does not LISTEN to the music.

WOW..........I love the look of that, real 80's and I bet it sounds BIG.

I have two Ashdown Compact 115 cabs for sale for £300.................just stack them on top of each other to make a perfect 2x15 speaker rig.......nice.

I bought a pair of EA cabs from Duncan today. They were as described and he was a great guy to deal with. Many thanks.

[quote name='Jigster' post='968195' date='Sep 26 2010, 10:43 AM']this sort of approach interests me, but who do you actually contact re. things like this? ie. there's no obvious dialogue to be had on the Sandberg website - is it through the approved dealers?[/quote] Give John a call at Guitar Works in Reading, he will sort out an order for you.

[quote name='Albi' post='968174' date='Sep 26 2010, 10:21 AM']My advice would be to order a Sandberg and ask them to wire it passive. They'll do that right away. Something a lot of people don't seem to know is that you can even choose what pick-ups you want in there. For £1000 you could probably have a passive jazz, with the pick-ups you desire, in any color you want AND you just know the quality will be superb. Maybe you could even have a matching headstock or blocks if you fancy that?[/quote] +1 for a Sandberg. They will make it to your exact specs. Fantastic basses.

I use TI flats from Stringbusters.......... [url="http://www.stringbusters.com/index.htm"]http://www.stringbusters.com/index.htm[/url]

[quote name='Platypus' post='946527' date='Sep 5 2010, 06:59 PM']I had a 5 string and it was 34 scale also. I believe 35" is available as an option on the 5's[/quote] I think it has been made an option very recently. Any five string Sandberg built up to 2009 was a 35" as standard. I think.

Welcome to Basschat Tom.

Welcome to the madness.

I've owed both the Sandberg JJ5 and JM5 as well as Fender American standard Jazz 5's and can say without doubt that Sandberg have far better fit and finish, but more importantly the sound is more open with greater depth, punch and definition. Another reason why I prefer them over the Fender is the 35" scale, The B is so much better in terms of punch and bass weight. The reason my Reliced JM5 was so cheep I needed a VERY quick sale as I have just been made redundant. Bills need to be paid and it was my 'spare' bass that had to go. As soon as I'm back on my feet I will be buying another JM5 or a P5 from Sandberg. They are expensive but worth the extra in playability and sound over a Fender.

Fantastic...............love it.
