Of the ones that I have tried, maybe 3 or 4 on the list, I do like the ACG filter amps for fretless basses and probably the East items for more traditional 3-band preamps.

Mark at Classic & Cool has a rather lovely VT in stock that is not up on the site just yet...

Is that why he's known as St Jimmy?

Is our man #99 in the sequence?

Easily confused, it's my age

He had a pretty hard time on the docks iirc.

Thrash Gospel for sure.

Hi peeps Is there something that can be bought off the shelf, or is it down to Jack's? Cheers

Everything expands and shrinks (hot and cold), just different amounts due to varying coefficients of expansion. Care definitely need in this weather.

Just acquired (another) of Ash's delightful basses. Top bloke to deal with and another great instrument. Thanks very much.

My shame bypass filter is not that good.

I use either a fretted / fretless pair in one band or, in the other band, one bass in standard tuning and one tuned down to Eb across the strings at gigs. The audience can therefore either watch re-tuning probably 5 or 6 times a set or being showy and having two basses. Fairly sure I know what there preferred option would be.

I use one of these: http://www.radialeng.com/bigshotio.php Simple, robust and nicely put together. Basically one signal is adjustable to match the straight through item. Put the hot bass through the channel with the pot.

Just sold a bass to Steve. Top bloke, totally hassle free transaction and was happy tommeet half way. Many thanks indeed for your trust.

Amp flat for me too most of the time. Only exception is for 2-band EQ where I might give the mids a tweak if needed.

Yeah i did the same on mine. The Sandberg black control knobs are not the greatest for instant visibility in a gig setting.

I think that was his brother Tony.

My '66P definitely sounds 'warmer' for want of a better word than more modern P basses that I have owned; maybe this is why I flip them. There may of course be other things going on like the body woods having endured 40+ years more seasoning, the nitro lacquer, the actual values of the electronic components as I'm sure manufacturing tolerances were less repeatable then than today. I took the bass to rehearsal last night as I hadn't played it for a month or so and was immediately struck but the tone compared to the other P bass I use more frequently. My 'other' P has a Nordstrand NP4 in that is apparently designed and wound to sound like a vintage bass.

That's really hard to say after several beverages.

Although the TT and VM have found new homes I made the crucial error of messing around on the configurator today and now have an irrational hankering for this:

Have you tried contacting Sandberg to see if they have a colour standard for it? The one in the pic I posted looks quite like the lighter colour. I think the bass was at NAMM last year

Just acquired a gig bag from Martyn. Totally smooth and hassle free transaction, top dude.
