You can order a Sandberg TT5 as a passive Superlight. Or find a used one and make it passive. The active one I had was under 7lb.

Maybe it’s because he wants the 50 G string? He does detune quite often. It’s probably nothing more than personal preference.

13 on alto sax. 13 on bass. 16 on guitar.

they are on and I’m tuned up. Might need a tiny rod adjustment but I’ll let it settle overnight before I decide. Sounding very nice though. I just tried the same settings I had used at rehearsal this morning and I liked it a lot.

I will be installing them right after my takeaway!

I've just bought a set to try on mine.

Sandberg Basic / Custom / Classic All with adjustable string spacing for 18mm, 34 or 35 scale, 24 frets. Variety of pickup options between them.

So it was a slightly narrower sweeping generalisation than you meant?

Joe Dart uses the EB Group flats (not the cobalts) on his signature ray / sterling, and he uses Roto rounds on his older Max Jazz. So it depends on which version of Dean Town you like best.

Afraid so. When the jack is in the pedal is activated even if it is not doing anything to your sound. Unplug it. Or get a mains power supply. When a power supply is connected it also cuts off the battery. Very useful.

Not if you never turn it off!

Buy the 900W version. They don't seem to have the same reliability issues.

There's a dedicated thread about them

And I just remembered - Sandberg built some 24 fret TT4 for Doug Johns when he swapped to Sandberg from Pedulla. So they definitely offer that option. As the necks are all the same on the TT4 / VS4 / Central basses that should be an easy option to select. The Central model is close to a stingray but you can ask for any electronics in any model. Sandberg usually ask you to submit the specs you want through a dealer to get a quote. I went through Classic & Cool Guitars for mine. Waiting list is about 12 months though.

You can see them on the website, and you can custom order anything for a modest fee increase

Forget-Me-Nots doesn't sound right any other way!

I use it for everything. Modern Big Band, RnB, Rock. In my big band we do arrangements of everything from old 1920s stuff through to Bruno Mars. Sometimes the octave is there just because I can't be arsed to take a 5 string. Sometimes the part just needs a little thickening or funking up a bit. Quite often my sound is simple Duck Dunn, but if we go from an Aretha tune to Uptown Funk then I want a bit of variation.

Yes - but not at the same time!

Sandberg Classic Booster sounds very similar to a Ray.

Filter has to be first to get the best control from my playing! Compressor smooths everything out for excellent Octave tracking. The Thumpinator then kills everything under 25hz so I can still play the lowest notes on my bass without turning the Octave off. The Thumpinator won't let it through to my amp. Idea stolen from Dusty Hill rig rundown.

A little change on my board. EQ-200 and Darkglass VMT off EBS drive and C4 on. Micro Thumpinator is underneath with the power supply. The EBS has a very different drive sound than the Darkglass and I'm enjoying getting away from the DG sound that seems to be everywhere at the mo. The EBS is more versatile than I thought it would be. I knew what I was getting in terms of high gain sounds but I wasn't expecting the lower gain ones to be as good as they are. I had one of the older models before and it wasn't nearly as good as this one. There's more gain available but it's noise floor is way lower, and the different tone sweep is really useful. I might play around with the order a little. Filter and C4 always first but I might swap the compressor and the drive over to see if I like that more. PSA: Hotrox has the EBS for a good £20 lower than everywhere else!

He wants 24 frets.

Marleaux Consat Custom Fender Urge 2 Sandberg Basic Sandberg Custom Sandberg Classic I am a huge fan of Sandberg, but if money was no object, I'd be getting a Marleaux again. I only sold mine when I couldn't cope with the (entirely normal) weight anymore following injury.
