The demo of the 6 is ok, but seriously, I'd love to just hear someone play some actual bass lines on one.
Aretha Franklin / Otis Redding / The Who / etc etc
I've never tried one but I like Geezer's sound, and the core ABM sound. I was slightly put off by the removal of the compressor, but then again I cannot remember what the ABM compressor is like, let alone whether like it or not!

That's nearly half price!
If I wasn't banned from buying shiny things at the moment I'd have tried that.
I doubt a shared microphone can be adequately sanitised with a spray.
Would probably need disassembling and having the grill boiled and the foam behind it replaced.
This thread makes me sad.
I had the HA3500 for years and it never let me down. It was the heart of my original Rig of Doom handling all the mids + highs + FX.
I didn't particularly like the LH500 I had for a while, but I really liked the Hydrive 4x10.
Is their reputation in the USA in the toilet as well? Or are they still liked over there?
The VS4 passive - single P pickup, the proper way round, is considered a special order. Probably because they sell more of the others.
The VT4 can be active or passive - the passive again being a special order. The P pickup is the wrong way round.
Neck shapes across all the 4 strings (T and V types) are the same.
For what it's worth - I'd be tearing out the big pole P pickup anyway and replacing it with something more traditional. Aguilar 60s wind for example.
Easiest way of getting info is to joint the Sandberg page on facebook and send a message - Gregor (from the Bass the World youtube) will answer any questions you have.
Or contact a dealer to get a quote - but IIRC built to order specs take about a year.
I had a set a long time ago. Brilliant things. Still by far the best hum cancelling strat pickup I've ever heard.
Shame they are so expensive these days.
But if you get badly enough that you need a ventilator your chances of surviving are under 50%.
Then if you are obese it's far worse than that.
The end of the lockdown just means there is some room in ICU.
Nothing much.
Got a set of Lollar Black Face strat pickups brand new for about £70 when they retail at about £250.
Pre-owned on ebay but the box had never been opened. They are brilliant.
