[quote name='daflewis' timestamp='1409045353' post='2535679'] It turns out that we don't make a B for the silver slaps, so I can only guess that Tony, the old chief tech at the factory made them as specials (in which case they would have been a "best guess" experiment) Perhaps walbassist could confirm? That said, I'll see if we can find the formula in his old note books, in which case we might be able to sort something.... Otherwise, I'll add it to my list and try and come up with a new formula for you asap... [/quote] Yes, Tony made me two to try out, each slightly different from t'other. I am inclined, therefore, to send fretmeister the one I've been using for a while and pop the new one on, so I can try them both. He labelled one "No 1" and one "No 2", so if Daf finds the formula we can tell which is which.

Glad I spotted this. I have a spare you can have. Fire me over your address via PM and I'll get it out to you. Edit: It's a full 4/4 length, will that fit?

Happy to cover signed for postage after it gets to me, and post pix too!

I'd love to try this out too.

My American Special P is, hands down, the best Fender I have ever played. I would imagine this bass would be terrific

I sold some strings to Lee. Transaction was as smooth as the flats he bought (see what I did there), and I'd happily deal with him again

I'm sure the guys at Bass Gear could recommend someone suitable.

I'm not going to be able to make it either now

Maybe go to see Mark at Bass Direct, who has huge Sandberg stock, or contact Alan at Synergy (UK Distributor). These guys are great and will sort you out if a Sandberg's what you really want. PS I have a Sandberg Custom Thinline and it's perfect in every way.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1406735373' post='2514222'] I really like them too I had them on a fretless which I sold (should have kept the strings!) and they have a lovely deep fundamental tone. I will get more! [/quote] I have a set for sale in the "Other items" section

My son started at 7 on an Alesis electronic kit. He's now 11, studying for Grade 6, and has just asked if he can have a second bass drum added to his acoustic kit "you know Dad, like Cozy Powell"!

"Since you been gone" by Rainbow, at a Secondary School end of year concert in 1980. I can remember my band's lineup too!

Surely he should have set the bass up how you like it, not how he thinks it should be. I'd take it back and get him to sort it for you.

The Berg CN212 is a superb choice.
