Hello there,

is this still available for sale?

Sorry, no - I should have updated the thread which I'll sort now.

👍 I ended up down the Lachy Doley route only a few weeks ago after watching Snarky Puppy at NPR and wanted to know how you get THAT sound. Turns out it's a Clavinet with a Castle Bar or Whammy Bar... I just thought someone had stuffed a Raleigh Chopper's handlebars into a keyboard.

Snarky doing their thang might as well be in here... hellyeah...

Finally, I am among you.

You may have seen this on Classic & Cool Guitars... it's exactly what I was hoping for and Mark's description was spot on. The small ding is very much less than I'd thought and tbh I'm glad to not have the exchange Cort any more because I was just being uber precious with the glorious finish on it.

Still no sodding skirting boards in the kitchen... harumph. But new bass = "what skirting boards?" = 🥂

Love a bit of Nate Smith in the evening....

Woke up this morning (nope, no blues verse to follow) with this in my head... 

Bought the first Vanderkley 112MNT about 4 years ago and finally made it a pair.

Marinus bought my Sims pickups - paid without fuss and arranged the courier / sent labels and then contacted me when the shipment arrived. Recommended & thank you Marinus.

Didn't like the TN that was in the rehearsal rooms, but it had more juice about it than my Eden WTX500.

I also traded up to a Magellan 800 and the 350 is going to sound the same bar the power. Totally in love with the Magellan, can do everything the Eden could but way better. Near silent where the Eden had a bit of noise - definitely worth the money.

There's only one way to find out.... I need to try both. I'll have to prep MrsT for TWO basses arriving. I may be some time.

Thanks for the tips, I'm hoping to be among you soon.

Right, I'm getting the hang of this now... if I may quiz you guys a bit more... (presumptious MisterT? Why yes...)...

Can the TM4 get a similar bridge sound as the TT4 if you bung it in single coil mode?

Apart from the pups then.... is there any difference between the TT4 passive and the TT4 regular but in passive mode? Hope that's not a daft question.

What you after?

After reading the past few posts I went looking at Mark's site and spotted this... https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/sandberg-tt4-black/

At the moment I've a Cort A4 Artisan in spalted maple and a 2017 MiM Jazz in a very similar colour arrangement to the TT4 here. What I want is to keep the Fender tone but add in the Cort's richness.... I play passive most of the time and the Cort oozes this creamy rich smooth neck pickup. Where it falls down (for me) is the bridge - it's not Jazzy enough, it's too modern. It's actually exactly what I was after at the time and then I got the Fender.

Tried an Ida Neilsen TM4 at Bass Direct and loved the tone but couldn't get along with the distance between the PG and the strings. Have only just seen an interview with her where she explains that the pattern on the PG is sandwiched between 2 sheets so it's thicker and that suits her. Ida definitely doesn't have sausage fingers like wot I have. I wasn't exploring everything on the bass at the time as I was buying the Magellan amp - the only thing that I would like to explore is TM versus TT. But hell, look at it. Yes, after all the diagnosing and pontificating, it still comes down to looks

So... what's pointing me at Sandberg are probably the things some of you have already found. I want a Fender Jazz sound but with more tone options if I want them along with better build quality (and no nose dive). Can't see me shoving nearly £2k at a USA Fender.

I wish I hadn't found this thread. I am weakening for a TT4....

@Maxillius bought a Laney cab from me and everything went as it should - and a nice person to deal with. Echo the other comments with good communication throughout - likewise from me with courier updates etc.

Searched this thread and could only find Word Up by Cameo.... oh there's so much more to Cameo than the big hits. Struggled to pick one,  but please do delve into their 70's stuff oh bretheren of the one.

I have one of these - I will move it on eventually due to GAS but I can tell you it plays very well and if you're like me, you'll not bother with the active so much because in passive it delivers so much. GLWTS, and yes, a lot of bass for the money.

No worries about post hijacking etc, it's called having a natter in my book

The Basschatter who I got it off originally wanted somewhere in that region and then dropped it to about £200 so I'm feeling like just letting it go for slightly under that. There was / is one on t'bay for £180 so I just matched that.

Thanks Jotto, yes the Basschatter who sold it to me had the 410 and was letting this go as he felt that was plenty.

Just to add that I have a potential buyer with first refusal. It is ready for shipping (packed very well) and looks like £30 to mainland UK / £40 Europe via UPS.

Does he not state that in paragraph 2 of the first post ? He “bought it on here from willgatesbass”

Calm down dear... I meant the chair 😉

I knew there'd be a great story behind that seat - fantastic taste 👍

🤣

May I enquire as to where you got it?

A) Sandberg (that's it, I'll stop there because Sandberg).

B) That chair.

Just returned from having a looksee at this bass and it is exactly as shown in the pics, plays beautifully and has all the tones - but sadly not for me. Almost still bought it due to price - it's that nice. Thank you for letting me come to view, a true gent.

Bargain - GLWTS.

Bought a year ago from a Basschatter and it's in the same condition as when I picked it up - mint. Look closely at the feet (will stand vertical too) and you'll see there's hardly a mark on them. At 17.5kg it certainly isn't bad to shift around and the material (inc grille) hasn't got a mark on it, looks like new. I don't have the original box unfortunately. Smoke-free home.

Pick up preferable, I'm very near Normanton just off the M62 Jcn 31. Could meet up but would not fancy cash. See feedback, oh and I've met @Dad3353 in person, don't know if that counts does it? 😉

Very sorry. 😉

Hello btw, can't believe it's coming up 2 years since we visited.

I spent two or three careers in electronics using KF F2. I don't see why I'd change, as it does the job perfectly, as far as I am concerned, and lasts for... Well, even longer than that.

KF F2 Contact Spray ...

Does it work on address books?
