Hmmm... I also have a Squier VM '70 5. I stopped playing it when I got the Sandberg. I only compared my axe to my friend's Sandberg JM4. It seemed his bass has a little bit more bass and less highs - maybe because of the alder body, but there wasn't a hudge difference, just subtle nuances. He likes boosting lows and highs onboard to get more punch. Here's his bass on passive mode (old owner plays): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1r1oqrFxwTg Here's a short sample of my bass (active, boosted lows | highs a little bit. I know, the demo isn't played well:) ): https://m.soundcloud.com/ukasz-k-103530211/bass-backing-track-kwiecien-2016-test

Thanks for your response. I tried to boost mids on eq's. In result it was better but not enough to pleased me I like to plug and play. You're right - the SM400 has a hudge problem with a scooped mids. I've been thinking to get an Aguilar TH/AG amp and a DB cabinet.

Hi there! A few months ago I bought a 5 strings Sandberg California JM. Ash body, maple neck, Delano pickups and a Glockenklang 2-band preamp. First, I was impressed what sound I can get with the active preamp but then I realised how it's easy to get into a trap when I boost lows and highs. The sound becomes not natural, muddy and clunky. Last gig I tried to play on a passive mode but I noticed a lack of lowend and lowmid. I was dissapointed with the sound I got. I played an SWR SM400 and a Goliath III. The same result through a Hartke HA5500. I really like the sound of the Sandberg from the body (unplagged I mean) and when I play solo but it doesn't work in a band. The Sandberg has a brand new Elixiry strings 40-125. It was the same with a nickel D'Addario set. The action of the strings is very low. Any conclusions? Kind regards, Lukas

Hi there, has anyone ever played the Soundblox Reverb? I'm interested in purchasing this effect but it's scarce as used and I can't afford a new one. I have the opportunity to buy the EBS DynaVerb and I'm torn. What do you think?
