Cheers... very helpful

? 

Always regretted selling my Sei Jazz and this looks great. Can you get a low action on this? Video ir sound files available at all? Thanks.

Thanks for the additional

photos - they are really helpful. 

Is it possible to add a photo orvtwo of the neck to get a better idea of how low an action it is possible to get? With the extra mass bridge is it possible to reduce the height of the strings so that a smooth and very low action is possible? Thanks.

Very nice looking bass. Is it possible to see a photo or two of the bridge and of the neck looking down the strings to get a better idea if how low an action it will be possible to achieve? Cheers.

What a fantastic bass ... if only we didn't have to pay VAT on importing it to the UK!

Hi @Lozz196had the bass checked today and no loose wiring or dry joints, the pots are all ok as well. Although there is resistance measured at the neck pickup it seems like the problem is somehow connected to the neck pickup. I'm having to send it back to Fender repairs to investigate and sort! 

Hi, I have a 4 month old Fender Jazz Bass custom shop bass. It has been working fine but yesterday, out of the blue, the neck pickup developed a problem. There is very little (but some) volume from the neck pickup as well as a lot of what sounds like earthing noise when the bridge pickup if turned down. The bass hasn't been bumped or dropped and has been well cared for. I've looked under the control plate and the wiring looks to be fine as far as I can see. Any ideas about what this could be? Cheers. Alan

@BassmanPaul Cheers!

Paddy 777... thanks for the feedback ... food fir thought and Christmas is coming!

Hi, Anyone had a chance to have a go at one of these Sandbergs at all?

There is an orange one at BassDirect at the moment but can't find any others in the UK. Appreciate views etc etc. 

Thanks for the advice guys ... hadn't thought of running one or two cabs at the 2.67 ohm setting! I'll be sure to check that the speakon cables are proper genuine neutrik plugs as well! I'm slowly recovering and hoping that in the next few weeks I'll be able to start arranging rehearsals once again!

Hi, what is the action like on this mini bass please? Cheers.

That is great. Thanks for the extra ohitos... time to ponder!

Hi, a photo ir two would be magic . Thanks.

Hi, fantastic looking Sabre ... looks almost brand new! Your photos are very good but I wondered if you are able to describe how low an action you are able to get on the bass please? Cheers. Alan

Many thanks Bruce.  Alan

That looks fantastic and I'm

in Cambridge ... any sound files ir video?

Hi, yes using speakon speaker cables. I inow exactly what you you mean about taking time to heal ... thanks for your kind words of advice  . Cheers. Alan

Many thanks for such quick and helpful replies! I'm recovering from major surgery so I bought three GR 110 cabs that are only 5kg each and are rated at 300w each I'm hoping they will work ok. Cheers.
