Rollin Thunder

This look’s line a serious bit of kit, wonder if they will do a bass version? https://www.andertons.co.uk/dsm-humboldt/dsm-and-humboldt-simplifier-x-dual-preamp-and-cab-sim-analogue-stereo-pedal?&utm_campaign=GUITAR-DSM-Simplifier-X-2304&utm_source=emarsysemail&utm_medium=email&sc_src=email_13942583&sc_lid=865438874&sc_uid=BhCpN1euMH&sc_llid=21589&sc_eh=11e0b5f85ea3a42b1

Well the strings seem to have settled in, warmed up a bit now, not as thin and zingey give them a reprieve until my new set of Newtone strings arrive.

Cut cheese with the G string, stock strings rarely stay on any new bass, like tyres on a brand new 🚴 bike!

NBD Decided to pull the trigger on this, arrived today. New to Sandberg, wanted a new Fender Jazz to replace a Mexican deluxe a regrettably sold 3 years ago, but heard good things about Sandbergs and having shopped around saw this in sale at Bass direct (Bit of a bargain)

NBD Decided to pull the trigger on this, arrived today. New to Sandberg, wanted a new Fender Jazz to replace a Mexican deluxe a regrettably sold 3 years ago, but heard good things about Sandbergs and having shopped around saw this in sale (Bit of a bargain) had a quick run-though, one issue/possibly, it seemed a bit quiet, noticed the pick ups specially the neck was very low only about 2mm above the body and bridge maybe 4-5mm figured this was not right? So lifted them both 2-3mm higher and it sounded allot better., enough that I had to role volume back bit when boosting pre amp to about 75% strings look like Daddarios but label says Sandbergs own brand, can anyone confirm, they seem a bit on the higher tension side might have to change them, see if they bed in. add some real photos later, its much more yellowy:butterscotch than the stockings photo (not in a bad way) https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/sandberg-electra-ii-tt4-creme/

Ive just discovered the prize drive(Noble overdrive) wow! thats the the best drive on the Helix for bass on the Helix, can do subtle boost, tubey overdrive to full on distortion and holds the low end easily. why have I missed this up to this point?

Two notes, revolt or le bass, mid prices high quality and versatile multi channels, get what sound you want, great clean channel, bit of grit if you want all the way to higher gain if required.

Ther’re good, like the look of the sparkle black 4 string.

Great band, semi parody or serious who knows, superb debut album bot a dud track on it.
