    Miami blue? So pretty😍

    Same for me. I had a black 1980 which I owned between 1989 and 1997 (swapped it for a Streamer Stage 1 but that's another story) I remember ogling and hankering after the very svelte looking EB models at Rose Morris in Denmark Street, who I always thought carried a great selection of MM basses at that time. And again later when I moved back to SW Scotland at Sound Control and I remember marvelling at the woods and finishes on the EB basses. Then I bought a 1990 Sabre in 1994 and again the woods, fit and finish made me think my pre EB was a clunky old thing. Still loved it though until said Streamer Stage 1 appeared.

    I owned both a Ray34HH and Ray35HH and I found the output drop on the in between positions 2 & 4 (both inner and both outer coils) made switching between those tones and positions 1, 3 and 5 almost impossible in a live band setting. The in between positions sounded great but almost impossible to keep a consistent output if switching settings. Shame really as both basses were otherwise really nice. I didn't get this problem with a USA deluxe Fender Dimension HH 5. That was a great sounding bass and the inner and outer coil settings sounded terrific.

    Red mirror pickguard bought off here for my '05 LE

    I struggle to comprehend that this is actually my first Sandberg. Bought off here just recently-beautiful VS5 with capabilities that far exceed its relatively low price and single pickup. I'm hugely impressed and now a bit of a Sandberg convert🙂

    My Classic Sabre 😍 Gets me really close to a StingRay. Has the Lakland H+S mode and does the 'hollow' two pickup tone with the switch in the middle position. There's a lovely woody P bass mode tone on position 4 and lastly a nice fat warm neck humbucker on its own. I prefer the 'Lakland' and 'P bass' inbetween settings on the Sabre 5 way compared to both inner and both outer coils settings on a StingRay HH.

    Understated and classy looking imo. F basses really intrigue me. Would love to try one.

    Bought Rick's Sandberg VS5 which is now my Sandberg VS5! Lovely instrument at a super price. Rick was great to deal with throughout. Top fella and an absolute credit to Basschat. Many thanks Rick for a really easy deal. All the best! Keir

    Stunning! Red/maple 😍

    Love this black/black/maple combo on a Jazz bass. If only this were a 5 or that I still bought 4s

    I recently let go a modern 5, black with maple board.Everything about it was top drawer It was a sublime thing that always sounded great. and was a real jack of all trades, master of everything and anything sort of bass. This one looks lush in sunburst😍

    Kept hoping either would re appear on here but neither ever did. Still, #42 kept basschat marketplace ticking over for a while😁

    I owned this bass for a couple of years (as well as owning no42 previously ) and they are great Super J basses. Very rare here too - I can only think of nos 11, 42 (and possibly no 5 iirc) which I've seen for sale on BC and in the UK in the past 15 years or so. There could well have been others but I don't recall seeing them. Would love to buy it back, but I'm not playing fours these days and I've overspent as usual. Seller is a top basschatter as well! GLWTS!

    Totally agree that the core tone of the Sadowsky pre amp is one of, if not my favourite bass tones. And I find that I'm getting that tone off the MEs. I did worry about the preamp being a little bit over bright even with the treble set at zero and how the lack of VTC would mean taming it from the amp head itself but I noticed that at volume it doesn't come across that way at all. In fact I was boosting the treble a bit. What is always noticeable though is that big lovely fat but clear bottom end. It just works!
  15. dub_junkie
    I've been rehearsing and gigging with my two first gen MEs and they've been great so far. Possibly not so much I haven't missed the VTC that was on my M5-24 and Valenti, as just learning to work with what I have. Anyway no complaints at all.

    I just ordered one. Now going to go through the 47 pages on here 🙃

    I bought a red mirror pickguard for a Stingray 5 from Craig. Arrived super quick and as described. Very happy with the deal. Thanks again Craig! Cheers Keir

    Bought a TC flanger pedal from Jim. Top bloke, great comms and super quick delivery. Absolute credit to this forum. Thanks Jim, the pedal was packed great and sounds brilliant! Cheers Keir

    These are fantastic basses. I owned one for a fair bit and loved it. Only sold it when I changed back to fives. GLWTS!

    I really like the neck on my Klos Apollo and will no doubt be putting a deposit down on one of their five string Jazz bass necks. Just need them to do an MM one for my Sabre.

    *Withdrawn* Cort GB75JH Trans red over ash with maple neck and flame maple fretboard. Cort MM + J with 2EQ and push/pull active/passive switch on volume pot. Omega high mass bridge and Hipshot tuners. Sorry no gig bag with this one. Bass has been extremely well looked after by its previous owner. I took it in part exchange but already have a small collection of gigging five strings. £295 audition and collection in Market Drayton, North Shropshire Able to meet Telford, Crewe, Stoke etc Alternatively can box up for courier if buyer arranges their own service and level of cover.

    My sentiments exactly !

    Lovely bass. I had a natural Deluxe HH 5 string and also a metallic rootbeer 4 string which were both excellent, particularly the 5. The neck was very Stingray 5 like in feel and the in between positions were great. Would have liked a single H to hear how that sounded.

    I bought a white Bogart Sport 5 from here a couple of months ago and I absolutely love it! This one looks equally as nice. Very tastefully appointed. GLWTS!
