Great colour on the Sandberg FB site

You are doing a decent charitable thing sharing its goodness

Don’t disagree about letting it settle, but where would we be without good old british scepticism

Status one is brilliant - Warwick one is firewood

But in 1996 Status Mande an all Graphite Buzzard which was absolutely killer, and completely ripped apart the old boat anchors previously made both in weight and tonally with it’s pre-amp. After JE’s passing the family estate did initially give permission for Status to keep making the bass, however Warwick purchased ‘the rights’ From his son (I think) and ordered Status to smash the moulds and never make it again- now we are left again with the boat anchor POS basses the Warwick versions are. In short, Warwick may have Carved JE’s design, Status (at JE’s bequest) took it to the stratosphere and made it probably one of the best basses ever, Warwick then destroyed anyone’s chance of owning a superb bass and simultaneously produced a complete pile of tripe, just another of example of HPW’s fine moments of which there are many.....

Status Buzzard bass to make just one major eff up

It looks like the spawn of Aquaman and Avatar

I am a fan of full disclosure always

Cheap as chips.......

Fender P bass lyte Is also Pretty sleek

Also the Spector Doug Wimbish if it’s an accurate representation of his own bass will be very very slim - He had Stuart Spector shave it to within an inch of its life when doing it for him

Sandberg MarloweDK is even slimmer at 37mm at the nut and slimmer all around Status Graphite Jazz replacement neck is also on the sleek side

Could be a long day, but that term was hated at the time, so it’s not even de-riguer, it’s just de-riguerogatory. But we should get back to the music

It was obviously post war, UK rock wasn’t called Pommie or Limey rock, USA rock wasn’t called Deep fried fatties rock, The German artists as a collective did not like the label, therefore it’s offensive. I guarantee it was not said in an endearing way.... To also bundle everything into the ‘rock’ category is pretty lazy as there were elements or rock, prog, electronic etc

Shame that - would have been a result if they had messed that up as well!

Was the bass exchanged or do you have 2 for the price of 1?

Derogatory term given by the British to a very wide genre of music that all the artists hated being called. one such band example is Kraftwerk

MXR Bass chorus Deluxe is not only about the best chorus on the market but it has a flanger built into the pedal too which is good and easy to use. Option if you needed both

Good work and very well done - it’s so much fun

I get your point - I certainly didn’t think of it as a gift - he works for it
