Yeah, but does anyone know where that table is? I cannot find it.

How can I date a Sandberg? Not as in take it out for dinner. I am sure I saw a list of serial numbers and years somewhere?!

These are meant to get to shops any day now.

I don't have many at the moment to be honest, but I've owned probably 100 in the past, not so many for the last 10 years! I'll spare you all the guitar photos. Anyway, my Sandberg that I got from here a long long time ago, my old Conklin GT5 that I asked my parents to pick up from Dallas even longer ago, and my Fender American Vintage 64 Jazz, with the fancy neckplate that has been in its case in a box for probably 3 years! I have the Conklin for sentimental value really, and I got the Fender after wanting another American one when I got home after touring the factory on holiday, the Sandberg however is the best bass I have ever played.

I am going to give this a go sometime.... https://www.tseaudio.com/software/tseBOD

I want it now! I have a guitar on order, that's been on order for months, and that's delayed as well.

Did you DI the head?

You should try using Cakewalk by the way instead of protools, it's completely free with no limitations.

I am not sure if this has been answered, but does he make all the basses? Or does he assemble and then relic?

I saw that second Conklin for sale, I think at bass direct? Last year maybe. I have a GT5, and had a GT4 in the past.

Bonjourno! Many years ago, I used to spend lots of time in recording studios - I'd often use a Sansamp bass drive, or mic up my amp (whatever it was at the time etc). Recently I've started playing a bit again at home, and I'm doing some remote funky stuff with my old band mates down south - I've got a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that I dug out and I am using Cakewalk, which I am impressed with as it didn't cost me a fortune as Logic did when I had a mac. Anyway, my basses direct, with some compression added via TH3 sounds okay at the moment - but what do other home recorders use to get their bass down? I thought maybe a Microbass 2, or just another Sansamp bass driver again? Anyone tried one of those Sonicakes, I've read good things, but they seem too good to be true for 50 quid?!

I agree with this.

I am hoping for sooner, this came from the dude at Peach guitars after he spoke to Fender.

I have an American Vintage, and it does indeed have a crack like this, haha. However, the builder should not respond like he has.

Some of the strats as in the UK now, apparently the order should get to Fender in the UK in mid August, and straight out to shops then to come to us!

Yeah, this is a lesson on how not to do customer service! A good example for me personally was Sandberg, I got one secondhand and it was missing the dots by the neck, emailed, got a response from the owner and they posted me some out no charge from Germany!

Yeah, I'd say valve amps for bass is of course not as popular as it is with guitars - however, for bass I'd say its more about size. Smaller amps seem to be replacing the larger ones for bass, whereas for guitar, it's often modellers.

How does everyone feel about this subject? I think with guitars you can really tell, the likes of Kemper seem to have killed the valve amp market, a secondhand Rectifier etc is now very cheap compared to 10 years ago. But I would personally rather have that Rectifier. I've noticed it a bit with bass amps too, obviously SWR are now worth a tiny fraction of what they once were (although they don't exist now), and even what I think are the best amps I've played - EBS are pretty cheap compared to previous years for the full size rackmount ones. Not sure if bass modelling is really out there on mass in the same way, but the likes of Sansamp have been used by bassists for years in the studio anyway. Maybe it's just me though!

I'd put money on them being more than they cost in the first place if they appear for sale!

Sounds like there's going to be quite a few of them owned by people on here!

Ahh, the black paisley strat and tele? Don't think there was a bass was there? And I think they were MIM and not MIJ?

These are Japanese, but they've not hit any stores yet - so not sure which ones you mean to be honest?

I'm glad I got mine ordered before posting this! Haha. I think most shops are only getting a couple each.
