Beaut! Do Gibson not do an oversized LP Bass? You might have bagged one. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Standard-Bass-Oversized.aspx

Send details to Strung Out in Glasgow. They even do commission sales.

[/quote] If he wants me to look after the Steinbergers he used in the 80s cos they're not good enough any more, I'll put myself out for him!

Jeezo - he's a twat. Is it rock bn' roll or is it 17th Century feudalism. Your guitarist has already split the band so tell him to bolt.

Bought a matching headstock Yam BB414 for less than £200. (Not my actual bass - someone on here's!) Stonker.

Lovely.

Would it not be cheaper buying a 2nd hand American or a discounted 2011 and before one and putting custom shop pu's in?

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1332436329' post='1588406'] Anybody got a pic of the new Jade Pearl Metallic finish? I'm thinking British Racing Green. Would look great with a black plate and maple neck methinks. [/quote] Even the Fender site has blank for the bass versions of this colour.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1332110516' post='1583544'] They are cheap because they are made in Korea, there you go another good company moving production to the far east [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2012/03/18/sandberg-introduces-electra-vs-4-bass-at-musikmesse/"]http://www.notreble....-at-musikmesse/[/url] [i]..."While the wood, routing, and varnish processes take place in Korea to keep prices down, the bass is assembled and checked for quality control at the company’s headquarters in Germany"...[/i] [/quote] Wood is wood, metal is metal. Assembled in Germany. Love it!

Keep them all and loan them out to me to take care of them!

[size=4][left][b]Sandberg California Electra VS 4 TS[/b][/size][/left] [size=4][left]This 4-string bass guitar excels in four different traits: playability, sound, looks and even in the retail selling price. Such an incredibly great instrument is rarely found in the pricing range of 600 Euros and lower. But with the Sandberg Electra your search might have come to an end. The components are the very same of the California series, meaning you get an alder body with a 6-fold bolt-on maple neck and Sandberg hardware. The satin tobacco burst finished body is a joy for your eyes - and since the lacquer is applied in a very thin layer there are no restrictions in wood vibrations. The black pickguard absolutely fits the other colours and features a new shape. An active-driven split coil makes for solid bass sounds and warm mids, which can be adjusted according to your individual needs, due to a 2-band EQ. The extraordinary and very convenient feature is the active/passive switch, releasing you from the concerns if your battery still has enough power inside. The Sandberg bass arrives in a Sandberg gigbag.[/size][/left] [size=4][left][b]Sandberg California Electra VS 4 TS:[/b][/size][/left] [list] [*]Body: alder [*]Neck: maple, 6-fold bolt-on [*]Fingerboard: rosewood [*]Frets: 22 [*]Scale length: 864 mm [*]Width at nut: 43 mm [*]Pickups: 1 x Sandberg split coil [*]Controls: 1 x volume, 1 x bass, 1 x treble [*]Electronics: active 2-band, active/passive switch [*]Bridge: Sandberg [*]Tuners: Sandberg, open-gear [*]Hardware: black [*]Farbe: tobacco sunburst, satin [*][b]INCLUDING original Sandberg gigbag[/b] [*]Free check and setup service after 1 year [/list]

Really good sound.

Excellent. Great mix - no one trying to outdo anyone else and everyone playing their part. Great voice too.
