Definitely read the sandberg thread 👍🏻 Yep, all necks are plekd I've a TT4 and Basic KT, both with Sandberg pups, the TT is passive the KT is active, both are honestly fantastic. I've not used the TT in a band setting yet, stupid coronavirus, but at home it just sounds stunning. Full on Jazz tone but with a smaller lightweight body, better neck, zero fret and flatter board. The KT is a monster (twin humbuckers), really defined and clear in a band mix. Mine is very hot and very loud, awesome for rock, loads of tonal variety. They're both in my profile pic.

Wenge 👍🏻

Have you got a tuner? If not an app one is fine

Nice!

I didn't even know they made these. Was it a special factory run or something do you know?

Here's one a new one on me. From the FB Sandberg group, a California VS451P (BlackHardcoreReserve w/reversed headstock). Very cool! https://www.facebook.com/groups/159201517432057/permalink/3263082673710577/ Not sure if the link will work, it's to a closed FB group.

Ahh right, first time round I used my cheapo buds. Just listened through my proper ones and get it now. Really roomy, loads of space. Very cool, I like it 👍🏻

Cracking tune. Not sure what I'm supposed to be listening out for?

Goddammit! Catching up with the last 2 hours of this thread has been the most exciting thing to happen for weeks, and now it's a cliffhanger til tomorrow? Goddammit!!

Plus a free strap and lead!

I wear my training wheels with pride. For without, I would be upon my derrière 😁

I think you'll find they're actually "Training Wheels" 😂

Buy one. I've got a '97 Corvette, the neck is wonderful.

Gutted. His lyrics were so beautiful, seemed a true reflection of him as a man.

Just did a deal with Andy. Absolute gent to deal with, a pleasure sir! Cheers Steve

Another shout for Toneriders. Ridiculous bargain tbh

No, Bass Buddha, a dealer who's bass I shared a bit earlier. A few of the guys find him a little pricey, I was just wondering if it was because of his location.

Come to think about it, I can't remember how I heard about them. I seem to think he gets Bass Direct their stock, but don't hold me to that http://www.synergydistribution.co.uk/ I love them, best basses I've ever played. A passive VS or VT is on my wishlist, just hoping a used one will pop up 😁

I wonder if it's because he's based in Denmark, so maybe has higher taxes or business rates? I think I'd probably order through Synergy distribution if I was buying new.

Its out of reach for me at the moment, but tbh if I was going to spend that sort of money, it's going to be on a custom build. Just need people to buy my Fenders... 😁

Keep going back to look this on the Bass Buddha site... 😳

Hmmm... I'm a bit suspicious he may be hiding something behind his jacket, I hope it's not an undamaged section of paint... 😬

here's what fender actually say - SHIMMING/MICRO-TILT™ ADJUSTMENT Shimming is a procedure used to adjust the pitch of the neck in relation to the body. A shim is placed in the neck pocket, underneath the butt end of the neck. On many American series guitars, a Micro-Tilt adjustment is offered. It replaces the need for a shim by using a hex screw against a plate installed in the butt end of the neck. The need to adjust the pitch (raising the butt end of the neck in the pocket, thereby pitching the neck back) of the neck occurs in situations where the string height is high and the action adjustment is as low as the adjustment will allow. To properly shim a neck, the neck must be removed from the neck pocket of the body. A shim approximately 1/4" (6.4 mm) wide by 1 3/4" (44.5 mm) long by .010" (0.25 mm) thick will allow you to raise the action approximately 1/32" (0.8 mm). For guitars with the Micro-Tilt adjustment, loosen the two neck screws on both sides of the adjustment access hole on the neckplate by at least four full turns. Tightening the hex adjustment screw with an 1/8" hex wrench approximately 1/4 turn will allow you to raise the action approximately 1/32". Retighten the neck screws when the adjustment is complete. The pitch of the neck on your guitar has been preset at the factory and in most cases will not need to be adjusted. Note: If you feel that this adjustment needs to be made and you're not comfortable doing it yourself, take your guitar to your local Fender Authorized Dealer.

+1 for a shim. I read somewhere to use a business card cut to size (about an inch x width of neck). Did it to my P, worked a treat 👍🏻
