Limelight get nothing but good reviews, obviously there's a bit of wait with them though. Sandberg do aged finishes if you want a Precision with a difference

Or if you want to save more cash. Get the Sandberg Electra and disengage the preamp. Fantastic basses for £400

Pretty sure I saw that for sale near me, was sorely tempted as that's a great combo!

I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read they have a UK and and NL based warehouse. Item shows as in stock but doesn't say where its in stock so could be UK (no charge) or NL (potential charge) I think Thomann have worked out a system of calculating all the charges and incorporating them into the price you initially pay

You could be right, I'll have a look at some potentially more useful options

Hello! So I've had plenty of basses but I've never had any with Barts or a Nordstrand in it so looking for some advice. I play at home just for fun so live sound is less important for now. I like to play a range of styles, from rock to funk and slap style so something that covers all bases is great rather than a one trick pony. It'll be going in my MTD Kingston as I feel the current setup isn't quite working for me but the rest of the bass is great! I know MTDs are generally paired with Barts and I like the tone that you see and hear players with MTDs have, but you can't avoid the good press Nordstrand get. Happy to take suggestions for preamp upgrades too

That looks ace! Hmm I see they have one in Glasgow. Might take a trip across and see how it compares to my Sire.

I've got a slightly battered P Bass style body that I can donate, drop me a PM.

I emailed Sandberg a few years ago about Shell Pink as it wasn't a standard colour. My god, it's perfect. Please someone buy it from Bass Direct so it stops tempting me.

A BB Peter Hook on Facebook for bang on £1000, seems a fair deal!

It looks like the pickup placement is slightly further back than the basic @[email protected] could be wrong though. Also a bit more traditional body shape too which some appreciate. That would be some shootout between this potential stingray type, a G&l Kiloton and a Sterling Stingray.

Hmmm, these new Euros look very good. Will have to try one when they got the shops

I'm seeing it for £399, still expensive and £70 more than the standard guitar version. I am tempted to sell my Bass Buddy as these are less wires and seem a better practice tool.
