  1. I checked with the factory and so far have not checked how a VM plays and sounds, so it's not available to order yet. Keep in touch and I'll let you know in the meantime 3 more have arrived this week into the UK. One will be on display at the Birmingham Guitar show #TGS19 #theguitarshow #birmingham #theuksbiggestguitarshow

  3. [b][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"]Here is the feedback from Gregor Fris an independent reviewer who runs basstheworld.com[/color][/font][/b] [color=#0000cd][i][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"]"Here's an exciting new pedal that will hit the market soon. It's much more a studio bass preamp than an actual pedal. Sounds like something in between an API 312 and a Neve 1073, with lots of headroom. The EQ is 3Bd semi-parametric and each band has an individual bypass(!). The comp is like a 1 knob DBX160A and the best thing: the whole thing can be muted, something I miss in all decent mic preamps. It's an excellent tool, I got one a couple of weeks ago and so far I'm very e[/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]xcited. It sounds as good as the beloved classic and highly expensive studio preamps, but costs a fraction AND has a great sounding built-in EQ, something that you never get, unless you pay 3k bucks or more. Also you get individual pre and post DI outs and level control LED's for every single section. The board was designed by Malcolm Toft, the same guy who's responsible for the Trident consoles. Speaking of consoles, that's what it feels like using it. Unless you use it as a pedal, it's a desktop thing and that's a big deal to me (now). Much more comfortable than reaching out to 19" racks. Price will be something like 700€ "[/font][/i][/color] [i][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"]​[/color][/font][/i][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#1d2129"]Its actually cheaper than he expected at €650 or £420 RRP inc VAT[/color][/font]

[size=5][font=georgia,serif]Come and meet the "main man" Holger Stonjek the founder of Sandberg Guitars Hear him talk/inform and play bass with Reggie Worthy and their funky drummer Great music and lots of info from someone who makes it all happen [/font][/size] Starts Tomorrow Time : 7 for 7.30 on all evenings [b]PMT Bristol[/b] 22nd of September [b]Bass Direct[/b] 23rd [b]PMT B'ham[/b] 24th [b]Manchester bass Lounge[/b] 25th Guitarists are also welcome
  6. Hi Everyone Here is what Sandberg actually did to the neck: :[i][color=#1F497D][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=2]First of all we checked the neck and saw, that it was twisted, but it was not too much so we planed the fingerboard with our plek machine. [/size][/font][/color][b]After refretting we also leveled the frets with the plek machine which works with a correctness of 1/100 mm. T[/b][color=#1F497D][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=2]hat’s why we are sure, that this neck is leveled in a good quality [/size][/font][/color][/i] [i][b][color=#1F497D][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=2]Anyway, if you think that this bass needs a new neck we will of course do that."[/size][/font][/color][/b][/i] [b][font="Calibri, sans-serif"]As you can see they are offering to make a new neck without any quibble .[/font][/b] [font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#000000"]Sandberg has always prided themselves on great customer service and will go beyond any other manufacturer I have known (and I have controlled over 30 brands in my 35 years, big and small) to make sure the customer comes first.[/color][/font] [font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#000000"]I would not loose confidence in Sandberg's quality control at all, as this is only the 2nd incidence in my 9 years of handling Sandberg basses. Wood is a living thing and problems like this can occur, even with the most expensive of products. The key thing is that Sandberg will make it good. They are the nicest guys to deal with (bar non) and have developed a reputation for making basses of quality.[/color][/font]
