    I've had 2 of these (both blue) one bought from a friend who at one point had 11 or 12 of these. Like a jazz, but more fun! Really comfy too despite how they look!

    Doesn't seem to be - just seems daft to only do half the range 😂

    It's so baffling how Yamaha release colours. Only on 2 ranges out of 4. And on one of the ranges it's on both the 4 and 5 string, but only the 4 string ln the 400 series 😂

    So, I'll admit I probably haven't been taking very good care of this bass recently. Been through a fair amount of temperatur changes but never directly next to a heater. But I picked it up today to clean it and noticed basically full length cracking along the back and a good bit on the front too. Anything I can do to prevent further issues or maintain it as is? I know it's all mojo at this point but if I could avoid a large section of paint just falling off that would be great

    Those new ones seem to solve the two biggest issues with the Bronco. Lack of bridge adjustment and tin foil tuners. Interesting.

    It's funny, I'm rarely on Facebook these days and I logged in today and this pops up! Seems to still be available for anyone interested

    I always think the Panther looks like a bass made to play funk and slap on. Probably does everything in between nicely too.

    I'm pretty sure Jack Stratton says fresh roundwounds don't fit.

    I know, 2 relatively understated colours to choose from - whilst nice - aren't exactly eye catching when compared with the early 2000s range. And I wouldn't want to strip one to refinish as they are nice...

    I think all I need to finish my P bass project is pickups and knobs. Oh and a nice tort pickguard...will keep an eye on this and see what appears

    Had a quick noodle on a Central 5 in GuitarGuitar earlier, really impressed (as always) with Sandberg. Just extremely comfortable, well made basses. Good range of tones available from the single pickup too, not sure I would take it over a VM5 but the simplicity is always tempting. They also had a very tasty looking heavy relic red Lionel that the guy says was his favourite bass in the shop currently but didn't have time to try it today.

    I know you went in with mods in mind - but it just seems off that a £1000 bass (currently on offer online it seems) needs that amount of fettering to get it sorted. They do look really cool though 😁

    Nicely done Andy! Also good to know for many here that your man Earlpilanz now has BB templates 👍

    Think these have been rumoured/expected for a while, but officially announced a new MTD Kingston 32" model https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoxwAlNAth8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    Definitely shouldn't have sold my Electra 😅

    Had a go on an Elwood short scale a few years ago when considering a trade. Super fun with amazing playability. Best of luck moving this on

    I'm always surprised how many of the 614/615s are sold with the wee plastic control card 😂

    If you have a budget of £1000 there's an absolutely ridiculous selection of basses for sale just now.

     

     

    Shame I don't have £1000 🥲

      Or you could even go for one at just £100......!

  20. BassApprentice
    That's a mean looking gigging machine, with a the bells and whistles too!
  21. BassApprentice
    Which one are you looking for? Even the basic ones are really very good. All the build features of the more expensive ones which is nice.
  22. BassApprentice
    Thanks all, definitely food for thought as configurator comes out about £400ish more than you see similar models retail for so just wanted to get collective input.
  23. BassApprentice
    Question about the configurator - for those who have custom ordered is the price on the configurator the same price you got if you went through a dealer (Bass Direct or Classic and Cool)
  24. BassApprentice
    A pretty poor example of releasing new models. Press photos/renders looking totally different to actual models they release. Just so weird and careless.
  25. BassApprentice
    This is far too local to me 😅 I love Sandberg - if I didn't have a large wedding impending this would be hung on my wall! All the best.
