    A really nice sounding and playing bass, which I'm told was made in the same factory that makes European Spectors. Not be confused with modern Dean Edges. I like this a lot but it never comes out of its case so its time to go. £275 + collection gets it!

    Tasty indeed, have another bump. Swap you for a pinball machine maybe? Everyone should own at least one of those.

    Hi, a little feedback on a couple of tracks please. Especially "Bass hands". At the time of recording I thought the electronic drums were the biz. It's to give a trance/dance edge-unlike Caught in Glass, which was a more traditional swing thing. I am now wondering if I should have gone for a more traditional drum sound on BH. All feedback welcome. These are the first tracks that feature my Carvin BTW. http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1

    Well, I never say I will keep anything long term but at the moment I can't see any reason why I would part with this. It sounds as good as it looks. [attachment=118758:Car Bd.jpg][attachment=118759:Carvin.jpg]

    I think it makes more of a difference on lead guitars. I love my through body Schecters as the strings sing for ever (sustain). Set neck/thru body stinging and materials all make a small difference that adds up. I can't tell any difference with bass. Why would I want ot sustain for ever in any case?

    [quote name='Mick Kahn't' timestamp='1347630211' post='1803304'] I'd love it. But would I be better getting back into playing with a four string first? [/quote] Only you can decide . Many 5's have very thin necks, the difference being in the width of the fret board and if its tuned for low B the top 4 strings are the same. I must admit that my most comfortable bass is a 4 stringer but migrating to 5's isn't that hard. The first question I would be asking is do I need 5 strings, if not stick to 4.

    Bump for price and trade changes

    Thanks M8 I will. I'll maybe put them up with individual sets of pics to show them off at some point.

    I love it as a usable bit of art. I appreciate the attention to detail. 10/10 A bit impractical and difficult to use though, I would prefer a less extreme relic maybe.

    a little bump!
  15. Pinball
    No no no!

    Hi, I fancy doing some experimenting so are there any sites out there that compare different makes and models of pickup and pre-amp.

    [quote name='Steve Lawson' timestamp='1346929097' post='1794876'] Clatter are well worth a listen - bass/drums duo, [/quote] Interesting sound from Clatter in particular. Big contrasts in sound.

    [quote name='Fender_Greg' timestamp='1346917051' post='1794714'] I'm not knocking nearly £100 off the price! [/quote] Quite right too!

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1346878571' post='1794510'] Now I was about to pull the trigger on one of them but I decided at the time to stay traditional and get the Fender American Standard Precision instead, purely because I don't really need the musicman vibe sound and it was a lot more expensive to justify the purchase, the Fender Am / St was £950 while the Sandberg was £1450 [/quote] Interesting as I played a couple of California's a few weeks back and was well impressed. I can't recall the models but one had active humbuckers and the other passive Jazz. Both impressed and were mighty fine. Then last week I played new MIA Fender P and J basses and found them mighty fine as well. In terms of sound they were different. I liked them all but felt the fender J was maybe more of an all rounder, while the Sandburg seemed more specialised. It depends what style of music you play really.

    apologies 350? That's my sons favourite, sounds as mean as it looks.

    Yep sure, I'll look forward to it. We can share a lift if you like and compare notes!

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1346612350' post='1791233'] I wouldn't get too hung-up on pick-up configurations. Don't get me wrong, P/J is plenty versatile enough, but it's more important that the bass you choose is comfortable to play, plays well and sounds good. How it meets these criteria is less important than the the fact that it [i]does[/i] meet these criteria. [/quote] +1
