    It's a great rig that's for sure. I would buy it all back if I had the spare cash

    Gosh, surprised to see this going up for sale.

    I played in a really good function band where the drummer used one of the top end Roland kits. It sounded [i]fantastic[/i], had a huge array of sounds, and was easy to set up/pack down. The only thing I would say is they need a really decent PA to sound their best, and unless everyone's using IEMs, a quality amp behind it as well, for the band to get a good thump for the kick and snare.

    It's when I read a thread like this that I realise how lucky I am to still be playing with folks I've known for over twenty years. Agree with what's been said above - it's their loss - onwards and upwards for you!

    I regret selling mine. The TONE from these amps is just lovely. Wish I had some spare wedge...

    Sold Graeme some valves. Great comms, smooth deal, top fella

    Nifty little amp there....

    So, the problem still exits after all, but only occasionally so hard to pin down. Could it be one of my instrument leads?

    I'd have a YOB '66 Jazz, dots and bound neck with lollipop tuners.

    Thanks guys. I'm looking to replace the whole EQ system so I'll need to source a new piezo too!
  11. franzbassist
    So, there's definitely something up with my bass, as every now and then it emits a strange squeal. Previous diagnosis here on BC has suggested a failing piezo element (still possible) and an induction loop in the venue (not possible!), but I want to get it sorted. I'll have someone try and sort it first, but if no joy is to be found, can anyone recommend a preamp setup that will allow me to combine a magnetic and piezo pickup, on a volume, blend and tone three pot setup? Cheers Gareth

    With a new Wal incoming next Spring I need to make some space, so here's 9.5lbs on German PJ bass love.[list] [*]swamp ash body [*]maple neck [*]34" scale [*]delano pickups [*]two band active eq with passive option when you pull up the volume knob (treble control becomes a passive tone control) [*]rosewood fingerboard with optional front dots [*]lakland flats (original Sandberg strings will also be supplied) [/list] This really is a great bass, and I'd love to keep it, but I can't justify it as well as the Wal. New, this would cost £1700 new. It's a touch less than a year old and comes with the original Sandberg gig bag (one tear to the inner lining). [b]Shipped anywhere in the UK for £[s]1200[/s]1150[/b].

    That's my old bass (I think I had it third hand). It's a really good player, and the Hipshot bridge (added by me) really beefs it up. Very good basses.

    I'm just down the road in Alton and I have to say I'm really tempted. This would sound amazing with my Bergantino CN212! I'm guessing it looks like this?
  15. franzbassist
    I have two of these, one that my Sandberg came in (so perfect for P or J bass sizes) and another that's slightly smaller but should still fit a bass. Collection from WC2 only.

    Sylvania's sold!

    My son is 10 and just completed Grade 4 on drums after 18 months playing.... he's a natural! The point of my post though, is that we started him off on an Alesis [url="http://www.alesis.com/dm6usbkit"]DM6[/url] electronic kit (which will be for sale soon), but he now uses [url="http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/drums/arbiter-flats-lite-kit-26825"]"flats"[/url] as a compromise between a full acoustic kit and the need to preserve some space. I must say it sounds very good and is surprisingly loud for what it is. Cheers Gareth

    I'm pretty sure the Sandberg preamps are made by Glockenklang too. The pre in my VT5 is vol/pan/treble/bass when active, but pull the vol pot up and it goes into passive with the treble pot becoming a passive tone. They also do a [url="http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Sandberg--3-Band-EQ-/art-BAS0004224-000"]3 band[/url] version. However, I'd agree with Jack that an East pre is going to give you all the bells and whistles you could want, and funnily enough I'd been thinking of dropping the same in my Sandberg to make it even more versatile. Great preamps and great service from East.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1381354792' post='2238143'] Compound radius eh? That's not something you see every day. Would that be flatter by the nut or up at the dusty end? [/quote] Dusty end I hope!

    If it's a trashy bass, simply get the frets pulled, have the 'board sanded level, and fit grounds or flats. Job done at minimal expense
  21. franzbassist
    Just remember I asked first
  22. franzbassist
    If it helps, I'll buy one of your HDs if you do decide to sell
  23. franzbassist
    I'm sure there is plenty of interest and these are, as you say, fantastic preamps. I suspect the problem is that there's just not a lot of spare cash floating around at the moment...
  24. franzbassist
    Bump
  25. franzbassist
    That is a beautiful bass.
