    Anyone know where to get new pickguards for Sandberg's?

     

    I'm looking to get a tort one. The Sandberg shop has them but they won't ship to the UK. I've asked a couple of shops and they have said with customs they become very expensive and take a long time and advised getting one made instead.

    I much prefer the newer shapes, to me they strike the perfect balance of looking like a traditional J/P but with enough of their own vibe to be more interesting than just a straight copy. 

    I’m with you on this one!

    I don't think amps really pair with basses beyond whether you want vintage voicing vs modern. I completely get that you may want to upgrade though - those Rumbles are great for practice but at some point you're probably going to want more. I'd probably look at used separates for the best VFM upgrade. A nice 1x12 and a head voiced to your preference would be a good start. 

    This makes lots of sense. I will take a look! Thanks 🙏

    Almost a week with my VM5 now. I can’t get over the quality of this instrument. The balance of the bass is incredible and at 3.6kg, really light for a 5 string. The sounds that it gives is lovely, a nice growl but in with perfect control. I am now definitely a Sandberg convert.

    Yes I imagine that would be a bit of a concern, sound like some great mods. My BB605 has a similar risk of the battery going but it seems to last for ages. 
     

    I’ve seen a few pop up in the here and there and hopefully Fender will do another run at some point. In no rush but I’m pretty sure it’s one I would like to add to the collection.

    I really fancy a flea active Jazz Bass to accompany my roadworn jazz. I dropped Fender an email as I thought they may have been discontinued. 
     

    They confirmed that they are not discontinued but they do not have an ETA for the next run. Fingers crossed they make some more and maybe some new colours (copper brown would be nice). To be honest I’d have any colour.
