gingerfish Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 [attachment=239413:2017-03-01 20.27.28.jpg] [attachment=239414:2017-03-01 20.27.37.jpg] Taken a few days in shipping from Germany from chap who bought it new last year. Really digging it so far and looking forward to hearing it with the big rig at band practice. Might need the action checking again once it has acclimatised. Will get some better photos at the weekend if there is interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm not too keen on the reliced versions (personal taste) but that is a real beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryburke14 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Gorgeous that is. Very different colour(s) but very nice. I played a red 4 string one with the white racing stripes at PMT in Birmingham and thought it was lovely, so maybe one day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naetharu Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Wow, that is very nice. And what a great finish. Looks like the sand-blasted stuff that Fender did a couple of years back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have absolutely no need for bass that is good for metal... but if I did I would want it to look exactly like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not a T-bird aficionado.... until now. Gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerfish Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have been lusting after a t-bird for some time now, but can never get on with four stingers. Glad to finally find a decent 5 string version. sound is pretty meaty if you pan forward a little and boost the bass. Only tried it through the practice CTM15 so far. Won't be with the big rig until next week. It does seem to have a little bit of buzz on the d string though, anyone got any advice on setting up a Sandberg?

Painy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 One of those but with a maple fingerboard please! Really like the look of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If you watch the online demo from (I think) Chicago music exchange you'll see and hear that it's not just for metal! Really versatile bass that I'm lusting after too Have to say that finish is superb, you'll enjoy looking at it as much as playing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beautiful thing, but I'd look like a tit sat in a folk venue with it playing roots & fifths. Edited March 3, 2017 by NickD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Oh my word, that is [i]fabulous[/i]. There's a real '21st century Tbird' vibe about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
