    [quote name='bkman42' timestamp='1392487864' post='2369377'] Total powerhouse of a bass and the build quality is simply superb [/quote] That sums up what I think of my LTD's. This bass looks great GLWTS

    I saw a band last night that was using one of these. It sounded great GLWTS

    C'mon c'mon there must be someone out there. We're getting near to gigging. See the badgers link in my sig for sounds

    Yamaha are a good bet, especially the old FG's. Crafter and Tanglewood have a solid reputation. Farida have a great reputation and can sometimes be found cheap. I would get a good sounding guitar and forget the electronics that can be added later. Alternatively you can upgrade it when you can afford it.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1392383646' post='2367982'] I thought that too! Might the battery need changing? I find the amount of cut and boost available on the East circuit to be incredibly large! The sweepable option allows you to compensate for room acoustics too. Especially if (like me) you have an amp with very basic tone-shaping abilities. [/quote] The battery is fine. I can hear a difference but not that large on either guitar. It's probably because my settings my GB anp has some mids control combined with the fact that I tend to favor bass and treble and reduced mids. I'll mess around as I may change my ideas. I love experimenting! At the moment I'm favoring a deep bass sound, the more air it moves the better.

    I have a couple of Ibanez guitars, a SR3005E and an SR1300 with a John East preamp [url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/u-retro/u-retro-5-knob-deluxe-32.html"]http://www.east-uk.c...-deluxe-32.html[/url] I don't usually like "complicated" systems and the JE is one that I would certainly have put in that category. I'm enjoying these though, probably because it rarely requires more than minor adjustment. Both guitars have mids and a mids frequency adjustment. I usually leave the "sweepable" element roughly in the middle, because it sounds nice and to be honest it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm curious about mids so my questions are 1. Why have the sweepable feature in addition to the usual mids? 2. How do others use it and why?

    Very nice, classy looks and spec.

    I can confirm that its a nice bass. Someone will love it. Good luck with the sale

    hmm I'm no expert and play both bass and guitar. When gigging I use a different compression pedal for each. If I try swapping them I am not as happy with the sound of either. My conclusion is buy a nice bass compression pedal. I have an EBS Multi-comp which I'm happy to recommend as its positive impact is backed up by comments from the band. Note: My guitar pedal is a Babyboom, which is cheap oriental job but does what I want on my Telecaster.

    I've been flipping basses like crazy since last year and am now much happier. I'm now a Sandberg free zone which feels kind of strange. I'm not sure how many basses I can first in the car but i'm to going to bring along an LTD Surveyor 405 and one or more of these: Farida Hypersonic, Ibanez SR1300 Ibanez SR3005E should be in my hands by then too . Let me know if you have a preference.

    It's more of a feeling of what seems right to me. I have a full time job so music is a hobby but my own guilt based restrictions are: If I'm out doing musical stuff more than a couple of nights in a row it feels wrong, same if I'm busy more than 4 times in a week However when I'm at home I just play music and write songs anyway and I sat through pretty much the whole of "Strictly come dancing" to spend some quality time with my wife I deserve to do whatever I want. Note: Am currently watching the voice.

    If I was buying a fretless I would have this. I borrowed it for a while to see if fretless was for me. it handles beautifully and to my ear its one of the best sounding basses I have played.

    [quote name='aende' timestamp='1391683080' post='2360032'] What is the width across the nut? Jazz style or Precision width? Cheers [/quote] Hi, not sure about measuring nuts but I think that is the distance between the two outside stings? If so that is 34mm [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1391679868' post='2359968'] Any interest in my lovely medium-weight Marcus Miller Jazz? [/quote] Thanks for the interest Conan, its not for me. I know that is a lovely bass you have there as I remember having a look at it when I picked up that cab before Christmas. GL with your sale.

    [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1391436165' post='2357086'] I can't believe you're selling this before I've had a chance to play it! It looks fantastic [/quote] Thanks for all the nice comments. I'll drop it of overnight so you can give it a try if you like Mornats. It plays as well as the Umbo did (superb bass) with lots of cool tones and more active oomph. I think I want a "P" bass though.

    haaha. That is the result of poor typing and eyesight. That is nothing compared to some of my texts I had better change it in case someone has a 3 string they want rid of.. It is nice, makes me want to buy it Thanks Philly

    [b]New Price £750 offers? Trades see below[/b] I traded my Umbo for this California recently as I wasn't using it and guess what? In not using this either. It's a real beauty in the unusual (discontinued?) colour of surf green. It plays as good as it looks and has a wide range of usable sounds. Overall the bass is in great condition and everything works as it should. I don't have scales but its not a heavy bass, probably about 9.5 ibs It has been gigged by the precious owner and you see from the pictures it has one knock wear mark on the body. In return for this marvelous bass I would like some money [b]Trades?[/b] A 4 or 5 string bass, top of the range Ibanez, G&L Stingray, Yammy or similar with the following attributes: Some serious thump-leaning towards "P" rather than jazz 34" scale only Dark or strong colours preferred Must be light-medium weight-preferably under 9 lb or thereabouts. Nothing over-complicated please...I know me and I'd just fiddle with it rather than use it If you like Sandbergs and beauty this could be the one [attachment=153890:SANDBERG1.jpg] [attachment=153891:SANDBERG3.jpg] [attachment=153892:SANDBERG4.jpg] [attachment=153893:sandbergtm4damage.jpg] This bass is a babe
