Well I'm back in the Sandberg Gang and I'm loving it. I've recently had a cull of all basses over 9 1/2 lbs due to back/hip issues and was looking for something that would do lots of different sounds and was light enough for me to gig with comfortably. After spotting this at Bass Direct I went up to try it and took it home. It's a California II VT in an aged Gold finish with ebony board and blocks. It sounds amazing with the Delanos and the switching between active and passive has really no discernible change in overall volume. The slightly smaller newer body which I at first wasn't sure about is super comfortable and the overall weight is 8lbs 2oz. I'm really very pleased with it.

A bit of a walk of shame 😩. Good job I can't remember how many of each brand.... Some glaring omissions such as Peaveys, Spectors and Yamahas amongst others.

For sale is my 2021 Rickenbacker 4003S in Mapleglo. It has a beautiful unfinished Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard and the new style Rickenbacker bridge. It's weighs in at 9lbs 9oz and comes with the original case and all accessories. It's in immaculate condition and currently set up with TI Flats and I have a set of TI round wounds I'll supply too. It's currently fitted with a black aftermarket pickguard (from Rickysounds) and a black Rickenbacker trussrod cover but I have the original white ones too. It also has the treble bezel surround fitted that makes it more comfortable for finger style playing but the original cover is included too. I also bought a set of original vintage style Rickenbacker knobs from Rickysounds as this came fitted with the more modern Jazz Bass style. Both sets will be supplied also. I'm looking for £1,850 posted insured. No trades please. I'll put more pics up shortly.

Lawrence bought my Stingray and I had the pleasure of meeting up with him for yet another dodgy Service Station handover. A top guy and highly recommended.

As there hasn't been much firm interest on my 77 P Bass I thought I'd put this up for sale. It's my 1996 Music Man 2EQ Stingray in Cherryburst with a beautiful maple neck. It weighs in at 8lbs 7oz so it's a lovely comfortable weight. It sounds amazing too. There are signs of use but it's very clean and the neck is lovely and has matured nicely. It's currently strung with nickel round wounds and plays beautifully. Theres no original case but him happy to post it in a generic hard case to keep it safe. It comes with the original Pearloid pickguard and an after market black one. I'm looking for £1,200 posted insured. No trades please.

Not sure about this one but I have two other P Basses I use more, so I'd see whether this is if interest to anyone. It's a 1977/78 Fender P Bass in black with maple fingerboard/neck. It has been well-used and is all original apart from the pots that were changed a while ago. It doesn't come with a case (although I can supply one for shipping purposes) or the ashtrays. It weighs in at a very comfortable 9lbs 7oz and is strung with a new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel rounds with a nice low action. It has a number of marks on it as you'd expect for the age but plays beautifully and sounds great. That said, there's nothing that affects playability and all the frets are in good condition. I'm looking for £2,300 for it and although I'd be happy to post insured for cost, I'd rather it was handed over near Monmouth or within an hour's drive. I'm not looking for trades thanks.

So far so good for me....

A gig of two halves last night. We were booked to play in deepest darkest Forest of Dean with an 8.30 start. We duly turned up and set up in record time, sound checked and then hung around ready to start. 8.30 came and went and we decided to push it back by 30 minutes as there was basically five people in the bar. We started at 9pm and I don't think the crowd got above 8 people, including the singer's parents. After a short break we started the second set around 10.30 and after the first song the place was rammed and the atmosphere was brilliant. For the first time ever (probably the only time) we actually had a punter give us some money out of his own pocket as a thank you for (his words) "a joyful night" 😊 I got to gig my 72 Jazz for the first time and it was a joy to play. That's us done for 2022 now but it was a great way to see the year out.

The Sue Ryder Bass, surely

For sale is a Fishman Platinum Pro EQ pedal (the newer version) with added features such as a built in tuner. These cost around £269 new but I was able to get one from Thomann as B Stock for a bit less, although I can't see a mark on it and it works perfectly well. It comes with the original box and I'm looking for £190 posted fully insured.
