Oh really, i must have missed that! Can you link me to a thread? Might save me some hassle.....

The Basic should sell because it's a great bass, but I might have a problem if it hasn't sold in time to pay the balance!

I've been talking to Session Music, and they've been really helpful.

I was looking at some Sandbergs on Thomann, and I came across this little gem!

How much are kidneys these days?

It's insane that more people don't stock them here in the UK. After all look at the positives; Very well made, light, excellent sound, excellent feel, and above all, very reasonably priced! I actually can't think of a negative.

That's gorgeous! And same here, great basses. No negatives

I got to record through mine this weekend - both channels of my Mesa 400+ with a Sansamp GT2 between the bass and the high gain channel, into an Ampeg 810 with a room mic, close mic and DI and it sounded absolutely phenomenal. I've never been this happy with my bass tone. I was only playing simple lines - the songs needed simplicity - and it just dominated. Even pre mixing it sounded great . I'll post some sound samples when I get them

Recently got a used Sandberg basic and I absolutly rate this bass!

First bass I've had with a zero fret, and there is a distinct difference in open notes compared to normal non zero fret neck.
The finish is immaculate, no fualts.
I would compare the quality to Musicman basses, without a doubt, and it sounds killer. I don't think anyone would know in a blind test that it wasn't a thurough bred Stingray.

My only real issues are with the pickguard not being cut very close to the pickup leaving a small gap, but still a cracking bass.

It reminds me of everything I love about a Warwick double $$ corvette I had and a Stingray I had, super pleased. The used price was ridiulous for this bass aswell.
