Reggaebass

I had a new Sandberg which was set up really nice on arrival from the factory , I lowered the action to really low for my preference but I did find the bridge difficult to adjust at first as I’m used to fender bridges, but as above I read the manual and it was ok , the neck was dead straight too

Welcome bg

Very nice, the A necks wasn’t standard ,and as far as I know were specifically ordered, not so many of them around , I missed out on a nice one a few years back

Was just going to suggest that, it’s always worked for me

Talking about blocks on a P bass, I really like this custom shop listed about an hour ago , looks cool https://reverb.com/uk/item/78206578-fender-p-bass-1969-closet-classic-aged-olypmic-white-occasion

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s something that can happen to anyone and it’s good to know, I’ve spent literally thousands here with no problems but you never know

I don’t mind the 60s ones but the 41 just feels so good to me, it’s one of the reasons I haven’t bought an earlier one yet

B is 40/41 and C is 44 pete

C necks until 67 68 then B necks, but I have seen a 67 B, pretty rare though

No

Don’t think there is, I looked before, I normally give it a few weeks and then post another

Since my dipping into learning Motown for something different ,I tried quite a few of his basslines ,and it made me realise just how amazingly good he was

Mine never changes whenever the question comes up, except I’ve added Sean Hurley, not so much for the music but the way he plays is so good Robbie Shakespeare Flabba Holt Aston Barrett val Douglas Fully Fullwood Sean Hurley

Will has got what looks like a nice 71 P in at the moment, (nothing to do with me) shame it doesn’t have the original case https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1971-fender-precision-bass/

Nice one from Johnny Osborne , ringcraft, Flabba sounding good at 6.40

I’ve successfully shimmed my basses before because I play with a really low action, I do the same as Acebassmusic, a strip of business card should be well enough, it’s surprising what difference it makes, I’d try that first squire5

This is a good site I use for information http://www.guitarhq.com/fender.html#serial

There’s a sound sample and a few closer shots, looks nice

I can’t see any problem in giving out the serial number, I’d give mine if I was selling them, most of the time it’s in the picture Of the back of the amp, depending what amp it is

I was looking up Jason Arthur Welsh bass player after listening to a track earlier, and he played on these 2, really good player and nice Basslines and this really sounds like old school Aswad and steel Pulse with Brinsley Ford

I saw that and I think I’ve seen it before somewhere, I remember the wear just above the pickguard, looks great

Nice amps and basses, I don’t blame you for not taking it back to that guy, have you had a look through here to see if there’s anyone near you

No idea nige, it’s not correct for a 65 and it’s one I’ve never seen on anything ever before, very strange

What a great review, throughly enjoyed reading that JG

Hi Mike, good to have you here, quite difficult to say really because there’s a whole world of reggae out there and lots of different styles, depends what you like, there’s a Spotify playlist of some of the songs here you might like to listen to some of my favourites are black Uhuru barrington levy Roots Radics (Flabba Holt) and I can definitely recommend Sly and Robbie
