    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1379665565' post='2215348'] I'm NOT a fan of coloured headstocks, matching or otherwise. I think they're taking the p*** to charge you for NOT painting the headstock! Have you seen the Sandbergs in the For Sale section? [/quote] I concur! Yeah, seen the ones on the FS section (one of them is mine!), but I want something very specific.

    [quote name='6v6' timestamp='1379663245' post='2215295'] So they charge you more to *not* apply a finish (other than lacquer, which presumably the neck is already sprayed with)? Natural would be my choice anyway, fwiw! [/quote] Yeah, go figure...... I was sure when I enquired earlier in the year, they told me it was no charge because it was obviously less work. Now, apparently, it costs the same as a matched headstock because it's a "non-standard" option..... although I've managed to negotiate the charge down a little.

    Hey guys, need some help here because I'm an indecisive b%$&@*d and it's driving me mad! I'm just about to order my new Sandberg, but I can't decide which headstock to go for; Standard Black (no charge), colour matched (chargeable), or natural maple (chargeable, but not quite as much as matched). So which do you think? (no pic of natural headstock sorry, it's not an option on the configurator!)

    [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1379488393' post='2213153'] This bass cover on youtube may help if you haven't seen it already. Or I'd use something like 'transcribe' to slow the track down ([url="http://www.seventhstring.com/"]http://www.seventhstring.com/[/url]). - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jRk1Xd56Q0[/media] [/quote] Thanks very much man, I'll look into that "transcribe". I tried playing along with that traack but just couldn't see where his fingers were going easily enough! I've seen some Incognito transcriptions, but it only seems to be the older stuff.....

    Bump! Come on guys, make me an offer and pay tonight, and it can be in your hands on Friday! Top quality hand built bass for not much cash.

    [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1379454216' post='2212995'] Francis Hylton is the man! My favourite Incognito bassist. Some of his best work is on Surreal. [/quote] Awesome isn't he! Surreal is such a good album. I definitely seem to prefer their newer stuff, Tales From The Beach is great too.

    Hey guys, I LOVE the bassline on this track and I really want to learn it, but it's a bit quick and intricate for me to pick out playing along.just wondered if anyone's come across any transcriptions or tabs for it? Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqoGkIbw35E

    Dougie just purchased my MXR M80, great communications, very swift payment and seems like a nice chap! Thanks again Dougie!

    Hey folks, now back up for grabs. Please make me an offer if you're interested, it's gotta go!
  10. TRBboy
    I had one which i modded, great basses. I used a Wilkinson bridge with the big brass saddles (only about £15) and it was great! Also installed a CTS wiring kit and Dimarzio Model P/J set. Enjoy!
  11. TRBboy
    Still available, open to any offers. BUMP!
  12. TRBboy
    Offer accepted, sold pending payment.

    [quote name='k0brakai' timestamp='1379198682' post='2209843'] Where are you located precisely ? [/quote] Hi there, I'm in Hereford, which is about as far West as the West Midlands gets.
  14. TRBboy
    Hey guys, this isn't intended to be a shameless bump, just wanted to say that I really could do with selling this to free the cash up asap now, so if you have an offer in mind please get in touch and we'll see if we can strike a deal. Thanks

    [quote name='kyboo' timestamp='1379175390' post='2209521'] I have had 604 and I find the stock pickups noisy as such. They are single coils. Try to set the balance knob in the middle and check the hum again. [/quote] Yeah already thought of that, but it's a slightly different hum and is still there with the blend centered.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1379170425' post='2209448'] This is all going on next door... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216857-bass-hum-whos-responsibility/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216857-bass-hum-whos-responsibility/[/url] [/quote] Ah yes, thanks Discreet, I seem to have completely missed somehow!
  17. TRBboy
    Hey guys, I seem to be getting some sort of ground hum on my backup bass, a Yamaha BB605. If I touch the strings, knobs, bridge or any other metal parts it stops, but as soon as I let go there it is. I've checked in the control cavity and everything seems to be connected just fine. Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

    Amazing...... GLWTS

    [quote name='mikegatward' timestamp='1379149656' post='2209122'] This used to be mine aand I know it was immaculate when TRBboy bought it off me and I know he'll have really locked after it. [/quote] Thanks Mike, Yeah it's in great condition and plays so, so nicely. I'd be keeping it for sure if I could afford to order a new custom build without having to sell anything!
  21. TRBboy
    Some top grooves there guys!

    [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1379121154' post='2208991'] you definately got some soul Oli. my sister has this album. good call dude. [/quote] Thanks man! Hopefully gonna be playing it with Hereford Soul Choir in the not too distant future! Could well replace this as my favourite bassline in the set I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VTBtW3rD74 Although I do also massively enjoy playing "I wish" and "Forget me nots"!

    [quote name='krysh' timestamp='1379108655' post='2208896'] great, I love it! thanks for sharing. [/quote] No worries, I thought it was just too good not to share with everyone!
  24. TRBboy
    Can't stop playing this, groove in bucketloads! Heard it on the Soul Lounge 10 compilation, and I just can't get enough of it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=200aB24ej0o What's your favourite groove at the moment?

    [quote name='Beneath It All' timestamp='1379095947' post='2208711'] No experience with Glockenlang EQ; what could I expect & do you have original EQ? [/quote] Hi there, The Glockenklang eq is standard, Sandberg advertise it as "Sandberg 3-band eq" but they're made by Glockenklang. All of the "Sandberg" pickups are made by Delano too, just unbranded. I think they're really great preamps, very natural sounding but seem to accentuate just the right frequencies. The controls seem to interact very intuitively too. With the eq flat, there is no volume difference between active and passive mode either. I like the midrange control best, boost it a little and you REALLY cut through the mix and get a nice punchiness. Hope this helps, any other questions please fire away.
