According to the electronics guide, this is what happens: Three way switch for passive tone level: 1) bypass 2) ultra clean / mid cut 3) dirty mid / oldschool Motown Still don't know exactly how that works..... I guess maybe sends the signal through different capacitors or something?

Congratulations, it's a beaut! I've become a massive Sandberg convert in the last year, and it resulted in me selling my trusty old Jazz of 14 years last year too. In fact I've changed all three of my main basses for Sandbergs now! They really are great quality instrumemts for the money. Fran, this is what the spec on the website says: NECK 6 x bolted / canadian hardrock maple FRETBOARD 22 frets or fretless SCALE 4-string: 864 mm / 34", 5-string: 889 mm / 35" BODY OPTIONS european ash, mahogany with rarewood top highgloss finish: alder, swamp ash FINISH OPTIONS matt, aged, selected highgloss colours HARDWARE sandberg PICKUP 2 Häussel special designed J-style single coil PREAMP passive, treble cut, [b]3-way switch for tone preset selection[/b] Don't know exactly how that works though......!

BUMP! -
I just bought Mike's Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5. He kindly held it for me for about a month! Great communication, bass was well packaged, and Mike seems like a thoroughly nice bloke to boot! A top BCer, deal with confidence!
-
Just sold my G&G Fender bass case to Rich. Top bloke, easy to deal with, and very patient. I'd gladly do business with him again. Deal with confidence, a top BCer!

Mikan just bought my Yamaha TRB1005 from me. Everything went smoothly, great communication, swift payment, and they did exactly what they said they would, when they said they would. Another nice BCer!

Thanks for all the replies guys! I've got no problem with the Alpines, they work fine, it would just be easier to have something I could just slip on and off. We're a pretty balls-out rock band with two guitars, and unfortunately I can't turn the drummer down! We practice at more or less gig volume really.

I've got some Alpine Musicsafe ear plugs, which are great, but at rehearsals and the like I get fed up with faffing about taking them in and out, and then I have to wash them too, etc, etc. Just wondered if anyone knows of any ear defenders/muffs which are aimed at the music industry, which attenuate the noise level but retain a good degree of clarity? It would be much easier to just pop them on and off! Ta.

What do you do with basses you don't play?
TRBboy replied to woodyratm's topic in General Discussion
I can't really afford the luxury of having basses that don't earn their keep! I had exactly the same battle of conscience last year with my trusty old Jazz that I'd had for about 14 years. I bought a Sandberg which made my jazz feel like a dog to play! Tried doing all the fettling and tinkering I could, but I had to just resign myself to the fact that nothing would ever be the same again. So I sold it, and I've since sold my other basses (well the last change is happening this week) apart from my cheap knockabout, and replaced them with Sandbergs! My advice to you? If you've found a bass that you really love the feel of, and just feels completely right in your hands, stick with it. Sell your 'Ray and buy another Lakland! -

Lightweight, fast-playing, fat-vintage-round tone?
TRBboy replied to CaioBM's topic in General Discussion
Fender Classic 50's P-bass has about the most comfortable, quickest neck I've felt on a p-bass, and obviously would do warm and round tone beautifully. -
Not in a position to post a vid right now, but Deja vu has to be the best Beyonce bassline! When you see her live you realise that every single member of the band is an extremely talented musician.
-
Divinity Roxx is no to be underestimated......... Showoff? No. Tasteful and musical? Yes. She is a very clever woman, and is the MD for the whole shabang. She also works very closely with Beyonce in the studio I believe. The wife is a big fan....... Honest! Seen Beyonce live and it was a great show.

[quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1327102908' post='1506615'] Is it shaped inside? i.e. useless for a left handed bass? ah, just notice about delivery. I am in the north east. ah well. [/quote] Hi there, these cases are not shaped inside, so I can't foresee a lefty being a problem. We could sort out a courier if you want it I'm sure.

Welcome from another Herefordian! I had no idea there were others on here!

Just realised that cobalt is very commonly used as a pigment in rubber, plastics, paints and coatings, and is used just as much by manufacturers in the west as manufacturers in the far east. Anyone who has a guilty conscience can send their blue basses to me and I will [s]play them[/s] dispose of them ethically.
-
I believe that cobalt is in most electronic devices, and probably quite a few other things too. I'm not in any way condoning what's going on in the Congo, but there are other ethical and humanitarian issues which are just as big if not much bigger. There's a story on the news right now about child labour in the cotton industry in India. Is there any evidence that the cobalt being used by Ernie Ball isn't responsibly sourced?

Hey everybody, I'm selling this on behalf of the guitarist in my band (who's also a close friend). He has owned it from new 2 years ago, and it has been played a lot, but is in generally very good condition, with only the only notable cosmetic damage being three small dings on the lower bout, just below the jack socket. It has been well looked after and well set up, and plays beautifully, although it could probably do with fresh strings. The fret wear is minimal, the neck is nice and true, and the electronics work perfectly. It comes with the tremolo arm and tags, but no case. He really loves this guitar, but has a serious case of GAS and needs to raise funds! Due to this, he's not looking for trades. He's looking for [s]£270[/s] [u][b][size=5]£220 [/size][/b][/u]including delivery, or [s]£250[/s] [b][u][size=5]£200[/size][/u][/b] if you wish to collect from Hereford. Collection in person is preferred if possible. There's a link to my feedback thread in my sig below. Thanks for looking!
