    [quote name='Shire' timestamp='1316363487' post='1376938'] so I think [b]£385 collected from Oxford[/b] is fair although I might be at the Surrey bass bash next weekend if you want to collect it from there [/quote] I like this plan.. Must first make sure I can get to the bash as well!

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1375898' date='Sep 16 2011, 08:15 PM']ok spill the beans now for pete sake! [/quote] The reason for the name changes was because in recent months fender have been bringing lawsuits against a lot of german bass manufacturers for patent infringement and the like. They infact actually got 3 closed down. Therefore, Sandberg changed their model names as a precautionary move for fear of being another victim.

    Sandberg in general as well as talking about the reason behind the model name changes, and also the PM4

    After the big day we had yesterday we were out for a meal (us being the GG Epsom staff and a few of the company directors). About half an hour into the meal I started having a chat to the guy sitting opposite me. Turns out he didn't work for GG, but was in fact MD of Sandberg in the UK. Needless to say, we had a good chat

    [quote name='silddx' post='1373961' date='Sep 15 2011, 12:54 AM']Yeah, bye![/quote] I meant "I'll see you then (when you come in)". Not Goodbye! Although I have a feeling you know and you're just some kind of wind up merchant....

    See you then

    Anyone who has had to send an amp will know that companies will charge a lot due to weight, take 3 days to send it, and also not insure it or accept any liability, even if they smash it to pieces. I needed to send an amp I'd bought (Ampeg SVT) and found Paisley Shipping. They shipped it, door to door on next day delivery for £15. Insured. Unbelievable. Fully recommended. I don't know a single other courier that'll carry amps insured. Nor do it for so cheap and fast. They'll also send a guitar/bass door to door for a flat rate of £10.

    I just shipped an Ampeg head using Paisley Shipping. Companies like parcelfarce etc. have an exception in their insurance/liability that says musical amplifiers aren't covered at all, even if it gets smashed to pieces. In fact, I never found a single company that didn't have that rule. Which kind of makes it a bit lucrative sending amps with them as the moment something goes wrong, even if they're to blame, there's nothing you can do. That was until I found Paisley. They have a list of items that are excluded from insurance/liability. But amps aren't one. They'll cover it fully insured, door to door. And next day delivery will cost less than £20 for your AD200. I fully recommend them to anybody wanting to send an amp head. Cheap, quick and actually responsible!

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1368838' date='Sep 10 2011, 07:46 PM']Oh and it was nice to catch up with Bankai (Martin? not sure)[/quote] Nice to see you in again. It's Alex I'm sadly still not full-time there. It's a bit of a shame, all of their other staff are guitar salespersons, I'm the only one who is a bass man, and I'm also supposed to be the hi-tech (PA/Recording/Sound) salesmen, but I'm only part-time. It really should be the other way round, having one of the guitar people part-time and me in full-time so when someone comes in for bass/sound, I can be there to help, rather than one of the guitarists having to improvise.

    [quote name='silddx' post='1373662' date='Sep 14 2011, 08:21 PM']Do you? I looked, and found nowt in the internet. What are they mate?[/quote] [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars.asp?brandname=Sandberg"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars...ndname=Sandberg[/url] The PM in tobacco is the one we both really like. All three are in store in Epsom (unless for some reason they've been transferred in the past two days when I've been off). I'm working tomorrow (Thursday), Saturday and Sunday this week. Let me know if you are coming in. This Thursday we also have SLASH (AMAGAD) coming in store!

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1373661' date='Sep 14 2011, 08:17 PM']Yeah and who pointed it out to you?[/quote] You may take credit! I'd been dedicating all my playing time to having a go on that rickenbacker! Although I'm very happy to have found a new love

    We have two in GG Epsom I tried one for the first time last weekend and I absolutely loved it!

    I don't like bass guitar. I only play it fulfill my masochistic desires with the abuse I get from guitarists, drummers, singers, keyboard players, backing vocalists, saxophonists and triangle players.
  19. Bankai
    I'll try and sort out a time to come over and have a try. I shall hopefully save you!

    The dog eyes are helping, but what'd help more would be pictures of the rig itself

    I'm selling my stuff if anyone's interested. Pictures near the top of this page.

    Tonehammer 500 or an Orange Bass Terror I'd say

    A very simple way to look at the American Specials is that they are just a Mexican but made in the US. I wouldn't consider them a substitute for a standard.
  24. Bankai
    Would do a trade for an appropriate 410.
  25. Bankai
    It's a Fender American Series Precision Bass. Basically the predecessor to the American Standard. S1 switching comes in mighty handy when you want to pretend you have a Jazz bass!
