Thanks for the replies guys, the only fly in the ointment is adjusting the bridge, seems a bit tricky!  

I also agree that Sandberg basses are awesome. I have two SLs, and they're the shizz. 

The bridge is indeed complicated, and I don't think it's the best design.  However, I tried replacing mine with bridges of brass and aluminum, and the Sandberg bridge sounded the best, by quite a bit. 

Sandberg publishes instructions on how to adjust it. It's useful.

Hello all,

From the USA. I've been playing for around 45 years, pro and amateur. I build the occasional bass, have some knowledge from that, and hope to share and discuss it. 

I'm just back from the UK, which we so dearly love.

The wife and I follow follow Level 42 around a bit. We do this every couple of years. We adore the UK. We adore Level 42. Oddly, if L42 played in the US, I'm not sure I'd go to a concert, it's just so much fun in the UK. Concerts in the US are a pain. The audience stands for the entire thing, which is very tiring for a guy with MS. I recently saw Tears for Fears here, and looked at the backside of a Shrek look-alike for 2 hours. Thakfully, TfF were killer!

I hope I can be of use here. 

Cheers!

I did not know that. I very rarely go on TB to be fair, but that seems ridiculous. 

..It's true.  I got demerits for simply asking what people thought of reliced basses. I used the term, "Ewwww" which they apparently find offensive to no end.
