As far as I’m aware this was the only one they had. Fair question though if they had loads. I’d probably knock £100 off or something if that was the case... 😎

£1700. Recently bought this beautiful bass new from Camden’s Bass Gallery. It’s only been gigged once. I just cannot get a sound that suits me. Someone else will love it I’m sure. It’s so so nice to play. The price is what I paid. Just testing the water as they say. If it doesn’t sell I’ll try new pickups probably. Honestly, this bass is perfectly made and I’m sad to be doing this. I was seduced by looks alone! I think it’s the only one with this spalted maple. At least I’ve not seen another one and I’ve looked!

That is a beautiful looking bass, congrats. Re the pickup issue, I don’t know much about Laklands but why not contact them see if they do something with a similar sound that fits the config of the Sandberg?

Thanks man, it’s a great bass. Thinking of doing this yeah, MusicMan shaped Bartolini’s. 👍

Hi all,

Recently bought a beautiful spalted maple Sandberg Ken Taylor from the Bass Gallery. 

(photo attached. She’s a beaut!)

I cannot EQ it to a place where I’m happy with the sound. It comes with 2 Sandberg humbuckers. 
 

It’s too ‘Warwick-y’. Way too much high-mids. Too funky.

What I’d prefer is a more chunky, full sound. My other bass is Lakland which I bloody love.

I’m pretty useless when it comes to gear so does anyone have any opinions, options, suggestions. 
 

Thanks!
