Bejayus 🙄😂

If you look closely (I know it’s dark) that’s actually on top of a bench . We were really struggling to fit everyone. But I think a 2x10 can could be placed there horizontally.

So anyway I just about got away with the elf and 1x10 box but really I’ll be finding some way of shoving my barefaced two10 in there somewhere (I think I could 🤔) Although it was able to keep up volume wise I just felt I didn’t have that low end “heft” (sorry) and it started to get harsh when pushed. what I liked was the gain/compression feature , kept everything on an even keel.

Anyone know any guitarists playing a Sandberg guitar, they look decent enough but I fear that market might be too saturated

I’ve this bass in natural finish, I think it’s a great bass , I’ve owned an MM stingray and I still think this is a better sounding and playing bass as they placed the pick-up slightly closer to the neck .

So , I’ve a gig tomorrow night with a 5 piece in a typical cosy Irish pub, (i.e . Not enough room to swing a cat and we’ll be falling over each other) I’ve decided I’m gonna try the elf with the 1x10 box . Wish me luck 🍀

Badly relic'ed basses

It remind me of those hideous VW Polo chameleons from about 20years ago.

I have to reiterate that the elf 1x10 box is a great little cab . It really fills the room

Went through a spate of fender jazz basses both US and Mex always found them to be a bit 'meh'. Then went through a load of different brands from Sandberg, Human Base, Warwick, Music Man, Mayones. About 2 years ago I picked up a fender mex player precision and I absolutely love it. I was actually really surprised with the quality, playability and tone from this bass all at a very reasonable price point.

He wishes LOL

Brought this out tonight to rehearse for a few upcoming gigs . It really has a great tone . Every note punches hard , no dead spots .

I like this combo for a Jazz but it has to be beaten up a bit.

I own a bass (Sandberg Basic) that has 24frets. While I think aesthetically it works pretty well for that particular bass, in general I think 24frets kinda looks goofy and unbalanced especially with traditional bass shapes. I don't think I ever really felt "I could really do with 3/4 extra frets on my bass'.

And they look gross.

I'd love to see an actual Wish-o-Backer in the flesh .

Any high end bass that has too much 'bling', gold hardware, metallic finishes, too many stitches and knobs, too may pickups (unless its 'ironic' like the Warwick Bootsy Collins star bass). Wal, Alembic, Fodera, Warwick come to mind. Don't like exotic woods on basses either, they look like pieces of 70s furniture. At the opposite end of complex basses Fender P bass the black/white pickguards/rose wood fingerboard is a horrible combo IMO. It makes a good bass look cheap. I love P basses otherwise.

I cant unsee that

I suspect they're just offering this option for people that just want to have 'extra things' on their cab and to match their competitors in terms of features.

I've a Two10 and I've never found myself thinking 'God this thing really needs a tweeter' always had plenty of highs for me, but I guess somebody must've wanted it added. Just though the 10CR series was supposed to be old school/vintagey

I had one of these heads up to a couple of months ago, kind of miss it but it wasn't getting the use it deserved.

Unless it has a valve power output section it shouldn't be an issue

I have to say I purchased a Fender Player Precision bass last year and it was probably one of the nicest playing basses I've ever had in 30+ years of playing bass. They just seems to have gotten everything "right" with the player basses. Ive owned a mex standard jazz in the past and that was cheap and nasty. The player series are a real step upwards. Sound and plays great out of the box, easy to set up. Neck feels great, not to fat or skinny, electronics spot on, weight perfect. If you just want a good bass to get started you cant go wrong with a player precision and they often appear here at around £500 ish. great value IMO. Id recommend a maple neck one, the back has a satin finish and the front, a gloss finish, very well done, classy looking.

Playing a small gig with my elf 'Rig' tomorrow, I'll be using my Sandberg California VS and maybe my Sandberg Basic as backup. I don't plan on using much in the way of effects, maybe a little compression and chorus. Will report back

Learn the song at home, Rehearse the song to iron out bugs with fellow musicians. When you get to a certain age with other commitments and rehearsal time is precious you'll just realize "I don't have time for this BS" . The advent of smart phones has a detrimental effect on rehearsal, people on their phones all the time and reading lyrics / chords mid practice. It actually discourteous not to have your act together with no homework done. One solution is to list the songs for next weeks rehearsal so everyone knows what to do. It sound like that guitarist likes the idea of being in a band but not willing to put in the work.
