I guess Sandberg must photograph their basses pre-shipment. Interesting though

What's weird is that your image looks like it's my bass from the grain on the wood.

I wouldn't say better just different. I've never been a big Delano fan and wanted a slightly warmer less modern tone which I feel the B-Axis items provide. I'd not even heard them before so it was a bit of a punt.

That looks extremely similar to my bass. Is that an ebony board too? I've swapped the standard fit knobs to ones with white lines on and the p/ups are now Bartolini B-Axis items.

No idea about hardcases I'm afraid, both mine live in the Sandberg gig bags they came in.

Just one for the cóck?

I've just put a set of Bartolini B-Axis p/ups into my Sandberg Cali TT and am very much enjoying the results.

I think it's already been covered on another thread.

Just picked up an MIJ P bass from Ash. Exactly as described and very easy transaction. Great to catch up again.

We put everything through FOH and use backline as monitoring only. Personally I don't think you can adjust your sound from your rig for the venue adequately from your position on stage. I run my signal through a DI box to the desk and also take a parallel output to my backline. This way the FOH sound can be sorted for the audience and I can then adjust what I hear to suit me. I would like to go full IEM but the rest of the band are on the fence a bit atm.

Great band, love what they do. This rather surprised me as it's not a genre I normally gravitate to.

Always liked a zero fret plus at least 21 others. That being said playing live I can't hear much of a difference between a nut and a zero fret playing the odd open string. Definitely a separate tone control of active basses. Personally I like a flat/zero radius board Pickups with nicely radiussed covers rather than razor sharp edges.

Horses for courses I guess. I'm not mad keen on the Sandberg/Delano p/ups. My two Cali IIs have had pickup changes. The VS4 now sports a Nordstrand NP4 and my TT has a Bartolini B Axis set both of which I'm really enjoying.

~Yup, Mark is a top bloke and great to deal with.

I have a few of his early singles and also enjoyed Oh What A Circus from Evita (if that was the correct song title).

Recently acquired my first headless (and short scale at 32") and have not regretted it. Shoulder pads and a dodgy perm next I fear...

Just sold a bass to Dougie. What a nice bloke. Everything went very smoothly, plenty of comms, quick payment highly recommended to the BC community.

Just bought a gig bag from Kevin. Actually a relatively old listing, so doubly pleased it was still available. Kevin was brilliant throughout as had been said many times. Many thanks.

I've definitely owned a few and had to do some rapido fundraising over the last couple of years so collection decreased. The Harlot of FB was one of mine and was seriously thinking about re-acquiring it until I was seduced by the idea of a RetroB. Rebuilding stock now, but not a word please folks They are magnificent instruments though.

Yes!

Looks lovely. I think I must be the only person on here that doesn't get on with Dingwalls (not for the fanned frets which are fine).
