    Sorry Lee. I think Friday is a bad day to post new items for sale as so many of us are out playing on Fridays and late up on Saturdays so the early bird gets the worm. Best regards John

    Ordered. Thanks. I am a tuner junkie.

    Good call on Transcribe. I have just downloaded it and am wondering how I managed so long without it.
  12. JohnR
    If you have an iOS device how about an interface or cable? I use a cheap Griffin connect cable that allows me to use the amps in Garageband and use other apps for playalong and practice?

    I always played bass but have learned to play guitar and keyboards (poorly) to help me become a better player. Knowing and understanding the chords helps in the creation of interesting bass parts.

    Watching The Eagles right now. Great fat tone from that Rick.

    Case closed.

    Bassgear have the GK MB500 on sale at the moment which might tip the balance for you.
  17. JohnR
    I had bought a few things from them and the service was always good. The online only model is probably the right way to go for them and I wish them well.

    I do most of my song learning away from the bass. I like to write out a chord chart and map out the song structure. I have a Word document template I always use for this. The process of writing it out really helps me remember things like variations and fiddly sections. I also use iReal Pro app to programme in the songs and play along with as it helps me concentrate better than if I were to just play along with actual recordings. There are no short cuts and it is just a matter of putting the hours in. I try to make it more educational by learning the song on guitar or keyboard so at least the time spent is helping refine my playing skills (I don't have any) on those instruments. You will find ways to keep it interesting. When all else fails just play muted dead notes to cover any gaps. Good luck.

    My long-awalted Sandberg California TM2 five string will be arriving soon and I want to buy a case. The Fender ABS molded case looks like an option. Have any of you experience of a Sandberg fiver in this case? The complication for me is that I am left handed but I have found a supplier of the left-handed version of the Fender molded case and just want to know if the Sandberg will fit before buying it. Thanks John [attachment=227204:0996175106_gear_frt_001_nr.png] [attachment=227205:0996175106_gear_inter_001_nr.png]

    I haven't tried the GK MB500 but as probably just about to buy one tomorrow to tide me over until the Darkglass head arrives.. I owned the TC BH800 and got rid of it recently. I was happy with the tone but the flashing lights of the tuner slowly drove me mad.

    I got a lovely email from Dr. Lars this evening to say the parts I need will be in the post next week. Outstanding.

    Final, final update. On impulse I sent a message to Schaller this evening using their webform. I got a reply a short while later from Dr Lars Bunning who is the Schaller managing director and owner asking me to send a picture of the damaged machine head and he would try to source a spare part. This is stunning service from Schaller in trying to support a part purchased over 28 years ago. It has completely made my day. John

    Final update. I have managed to fix (bodge) the broken machine head so panic over. For future reference the Wal Mk1 has a 17mm bore. The Schaller M4S light (thanks Gareth) looks like a drop in replacement at 71 grams. The existing Schaller is 103 grams. I also learned that the 1/2 inch variant of the Hipshot Ultralite would fit albeit with an additional hole having to be drilled for the screw. Neck dive has never been an issue with this bass but it would help my back to reduce the weight where possible. It will be going back to Paul as soon as my Sandberg arrives so I will avoid doing anything rash until then. Thanks John
  24. JohnR
    I am dying with anticipation waiting for this to arrive.
  25. JohnR
    Thanks so much for the help. I have emailed Paul and hopefully will get this sorted quickly. The irony is that this bass is due to go back to Paul shortly for a service and I was just waiting for the backup Sandberg to arrive before sending it off.
