In all fairness, £1000 is pretty good value when you think of the scrap metal value of all those strings.

They should really check the liver function of that bass, it's got some clear warning signs...

WHAT A BARGAIN.

Hi Does anyone know of anywhere I can get a sub £300 jazz bass in fiesta red? I don't really want to spend a grand for a Fender road worn, so the cheaper the better. I know that the Squier CV jazz bass in Japan is fiesta red (rather than Oly white) so that's an option, but if there's anything available in the UK/europe that would be better. Not really fussed on brands, would prefer rosewood board but not put off by maple either.

If there isn't already a queue. I read that Yellowcar got this originally from wunjo's bass shop in a find of the century, so now have an excuse to visit them a lot more! Enjoy the bass, looks brilliant.

Great, after much searching and finding out about these, these attitude pluses seem to be the rarest bass in the world. Just while I'm on the lookout for a P-bass and was more or less settled on a BB424x. Noooo!

Oh good lord that is lovely. So much want for that.

From the pictures, I can only assume his belt buckle is a nail gun.

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1430084345' post='2757903'] Any opinions on the Sandberg p bass....and what's the likely used price on one of them.. [/quote] I was interested in an Electra VS4 and managed to try one last week. I really wanted to like it, but just couldn't gel with it. It's absolutely not a P bass (tried comparing it to a MIM and the Squier CV). The neck feels very narrow at the nut and has a lot of taper to it from the heel to nut. It's a shallow neck too, so actually ends up feeling smaller than a jazz neck. Rosewood was also fairly dry, but that's more of a general care/maintenance issue. Although you do have the passive circuit, it doesn't really do a classic P bass sound and I found the passive sound a bit limited. The active is good, but I felt that the output of the D and G strings was a tad lower compared to the lower strings. The craftsmanship is lovely and it's a very well put together bass, and I can see why it's so popular, but if you want a P-bass, look elsewhere.

I'm looking for a good quality P and these have caught my eye. Does anyone have one and can give any feedback on how they are to play - sound and fit/finish wise? How versatile is the sound? I'm curious as to whether they can do the standard P bass sound and then 'a bit more', or are just a totally different sound. How's the neck to play? How do they compare to MIM standards or the classic 50s P basses, or any other Ps in a similar price bracket? Thanks!

Don't suppose you had a note of the serial number anywhere? You should report it to the police and keep an eye out on ebay, gumtree and local cash converter type places. Some proof of purchase would be good too, whether you bought it from new or used, in case you need to start throwing some accusations around. Chances are they won't know anything about it and will just try to flog it asap.
