Bump! Roll up, roll up! Still open to offers. -
Bump! Lovely hand built bass for not much money! Plays and sounds so nice I may yet keep it if I can find another way to fund a new custom spec Sandberg build......
-
Stringbusters are great, I've used them pretty much exclusively for years now. Had the core of an Elites string break as soon as I started applying tension when stringing up, and they sent me a replacement next day. Great service!
-
Bump! Some interest, but still available at the moment.

Post your pictures, Lets see what you all look like.

Awesome gig with Hereford Soul Choir the other week at the Jailhouse. Unfortunately we weren't playing when this shot was taken! It was a bit tight getting everyone on the stage! Lucky there were only 15 choir members, not the full 28! [attachment=131519:HSC Jailhouse gig.jpg] -
[quote name='Iana' timestamp='1364767524' post='2030767'] Mark will sell your bass on a commision sale, he as sold several for me over the last couple of years. He gets a lot of hits on the website so if it is a good bass at the right kind of money it should move fairly quickly. [/quote] Thanks, I might give him a call if my bass doesn't sell fairly quickly on here. What sort of time frame have you found it takes to move a bass?

BOOM! Price drop.

Oh.... my....God..... Amazing! Wish I had the money......

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1364512250' post='2027660'] I believe he does commission sales; not sure if he actually buys used basses? Truckstop [/quote] Ah right, maybe that's the case then. I was sure I remembered other BCers shifting basses through there, so perhaps that was it.
-
Hey guys, just wondered if anyone knows whether Mark buys used basses, or just does part-ex? He's not open again til Tuesday, but I'm itching to know! Any excuse for a trip up there! .

Bump! Come on folks, make me an offer! Seriously GREAT bass for not much money.

SOLD: Brubaker Brute Single Cut. More photos.

Really surprised no one has snapped this up yet, looks great. I know people say this sort of thing all the time, but if it was a 5er I'd be very tempted! luck with the sale. -
Eric Bricout, Sandberg endorsee. Great player, but does seem to favour the bridge pup sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQT8TRJvZZI

Hey guys, just thought I would add a couple of videos of these basses in action for your interest: Marlowe DK playing exactly the same model, although I'm not sure that this gives a great representation of what it sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNV9Vh3XKXI This one gives a fairly good idea of some of the tones on offer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHAhSfFf7rw

Best ones I tried were Dimarzio Ultra Jazz. They're made up of two side-by-side coils too, so are hum-cancelling but still sound like a single coil pickup. Monster output, great tone and no hum, what's not to like! Had Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders in before, but I found the Dimarzios much better for me.

Bump!

Shameless plug I know, but I thought I'd give you lot a heads-up in case anyone's interested: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/203316-fs-sandberg-basic-ken-taylor-5/

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1364124110' post='2022046'] qual O tee bass. Still loving my basic, have you seen the new 20th anniversary ken taylors? Out of interest is the sandberg gigbag available from them aftermarket? [/quote] Hey dude! Glad you're still enjoying the Basic, it's reminiscing about that bass that's making me consider getting a Basic 5! Yeah, I did see a pic of a 20th anniversary KT the other day, gotta be honest I'm not keen on the control plate the moment! I believe you can buy gigbags, as well as straps,strings, polish, lemon oil, t-shirts, etc.

Hey Everybody! I'm selling my Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor, which I love to bits and will be extremely sad to see it go. Why am I selling it? Well, after thinking I was completely GAS free, I now have serious GAS for another Sandberg Custom Build, Probably another Ken Taylor 5 or Basic 5. This bass features an Alder body, Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard and is finished in Highgloss black. There is a mini toggle switch to split the dual humbuckers to single coil and a 3-band Glockenklang EQ with push/pull volume pot for true passive bypass. Those who know me will know that I'm a massive Sandberg fan anyway, but I really can't stress how great these basses are. Such good value for a handbuilt bass, with a finish, playability and sound quality that far outstrips some of the big brands. The neck is slim front-to-back and the fretboard has a fairly flat radius, feeling fast and effortless to play, but very comfortable. It was the feel of the neck that really sold me on Sandberg basses! This Alder bodied version is lighter than the Ash equivalents, and has a slightly more rounded tone, with a bit more low-mid growl and a less aggressive top and bottom end, but it still packs a punch. Versatility is the name of the game with this bass, and I've easily been able to coax any type of tone I've wanted out of it, it really does sound amazing. I don't often get on with 34" scale 5ers, but the low B is absolutely perfect on this (IMHO of course). It's currently strung with .040" - .125" Rotos and the action is fairly low. It's in very good condition, with only a slight blemish on the forearm contour, but really nothing to write home about. It feels nicely played in, but it has been very well looked after, with virtually no visible fretwear. Last year the UK RRP was £1441, although I think there's been a price rise since then, and Thomann have a 4 string currently for £1191, so a 5er would probably be £50-£100 more from them. I'm asking [s]£725[/s] [b]£675 [/b]for this beauty, including UK mainland courier delivery, and a Sandberg Gigbag. I've priced this to sell quickly, but of course feel free to make an offer if you so wish. Please check my feedback thread (link in sig below), and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for looking! [attachment=130846:Basic KT Front.jpg] [attachment=130847:Basic KT back.jpg] [attachment=130848:IMG_1789 - Copy.JPG]

Sandberg do a split p on their California V and VM models and the Basic VM model. I'm pretty sure the Panther model has a split p under the neck pickup cover too. Awesome basses! I'm sure Mike Lull, Sadowsky, Alleva Coppollo, and various other high end luthiers do them too.

Ibanez SR300. Great bass for not much money, lightweight and comfortable.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1363723799' post='2016651'] I think there was a thread about these recently... hang on... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/197240-daddario-balanced-tension-strings/page__hl__d"]http://basschat.co.u...ngs/page__hl__d[/url] [/quote] Ah yes, so I see...... Apologies everybody!
-
Spotted these recently, and it seems to make perfect sense, in fact I don't know why string sets haven't always been put together following this logic! http://www.daddario.com/balanced_tension.page Has anyone tried them yet? Is there actually a noticeable difference to a normal D'addario set? There's no 5 string sets at the moment, but at £16.00 a set from stringbusters you could put a single B string with them and the whole set would only come in at £24.00, so not too bad. Thoughts?
-
Thanks for all the replies guys, I guess the responses are kind of what I expected. Just realised that the picture I posted in the first post is very small and crap, so here's a video of Marlowe DK playing exactly the same model that I've got: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNV9Vh3XKXI

[quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1363649067' post='2015429'] Def cool. [/quote] Hey! How's it going? Have you still got my TRB?
