Includes original Sandberg booklet. Condition: excellent, no real dings, all I can find is a red smudge and nick on top of the headstock (see pic). Pickups and electronics work perfectly. Neck and neck pocket are perfect from my perspective - truss rod and bridge are very good on these. Payment and postage: I will courier at cost and will package carefully. Payment via bank transfer please. Sorry but no trades this time. My feedback thread is in my signature. Sound: This is a very good video from another VS with Klopmann pickups, sounds the same as mine (although the playing is better!): You can also hear it live in action on my Soundcloud feed: [url="https://soundcloud.com/the_expandables/sets/live-march-2014"]https://soundcloud.c...live-march-2014[/url] More pictures: Thanks for looking! Cheers Kev **edit** there is a small nick on the headstock top edge, just about visible in the close up pic

M@23, sorry forgot to upload my settings! Here they are: The method I used to get there was watching the 'comp' light during a bassline which starts with a loud G on the E string, then a fiddly pull-off and hammer-on involving the D and A strings. Basically the hammer-on in particular was being overwhelmed, so I twiddled the threshold to make sure that the initial G was well compressed and the hammer-on not at all. Sounds much clearer now! Good luck with the gig - one other quirk is that the compressor light is VERY bright on a dark stage, so I sometimes put a bit of foam over it.

I've been a MB Compressore user for about one year now, including five pub gigs. I play a Sandberg California VS (P bass) through a Genz Benz Shuttlemax 12.2 and two Baer ML112 cabs to cut through vocals, two guitars, sax, harmonica and piano. The music is blues/upbeat rhythm & blues (Gary Moore, Nine Below Zero, etc.) and I just use the Compressore to take some mud out of fast lines and to tame the E string and hence avoid overpowering low frequency boom. Lots of tweakability, and very quiet, only minor downer is that it runs on an 18V PSU only (which is provided). PS before anyone reading this thread gets a compressor they should read the Ovnilab site, contains the most detailed reviews I've seen for both the Markbass and MXR (and loads others!!!): [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml[/url] [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/mxrbass.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/mxrbass.shtml[/url]

Fantastic seller, really detailed descriptions and in touch every step of the way - the EBMM Reflex I bought off Gareth was really in showroom condition and well packaged. Thanks again!
