Pinball

A great night, your venue had the best atmosphere on the Saturday Some great music over the weekend. particularly enjoyed blasts from the past Hawkwind and Dr Feelgood-I swear that Feelgood have got faster rather than slower over the years Also the more chilled Erja Lyytenen and Swamp Band were the perfect pick-me-ip for Sunday Afternoon. The Henrik Freischlader Band are not to be missed and are on tour at the moment. A classy band! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h0ONc4Plc8

Thanks, I hope it works well for you!

I love Sandbergs so can hardly walk past one without asking to try it out and I have gradually become aware of how their pickup choices make to the overall sound of their various models, as their are quite significant differences. They commonly have three different Pick-up choices. Most now come with either Delano or Sandbergs pups but the Umbo and the older JJ's and Panther JJ's commonly have Haussels. The Haussels have quite a traditional sound with bags of personality, Delano's are versatile and sound a little more "pure" and modern and the Sandbergs oups add a bit of power and slightly different tone. Does that sound about right? Anyway do you have a preference and why? [i]Note: I'm getting into Haussal tone. To my ear they all sound good but Haussels hit the spot, enough power and a tone and character which suites me. I can get them to growl a bit if I want as well [/i]

Glad you got it sorted!

AAh cool, I didn't recognize you from your picture. If you can find hum pot settings your doing well I did tweak settings until I got something that I really liked but no in depth knowledge here I'm afraid. A PM to Oldslapper should do it as he knows them better. Thanks for the tips, you can report back that I'm very happy with it. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Nope, someone has done a good job of removing the logo.

It's actually pretty rough. Some paint touch ups on the black, a bit of rust here and there, damage to the nut, significant fret wear etc. but it plays and sounds nice so........ yes a bargain. I thought there was a problem with unwanted noise when I tested it but on my amp at home it plays nice and clear.Am happy!

Indeed it is. It isn't as tidy as the pic implies. It is filthy and more battered, some fret wear, a noisy pot, a bit of rust here and there but....... It plays well and sounds nice and will look better after a polish..£45 has to be a bargain. I'm either going to keep it to play in my lunch break or may give it to a friends son if he wants it..

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1357981871' post='1931216'] I've owned 2. They are fab basses, high quality Japanese build, excellent components and the best necks, with beautiful ebony boards. [/quote] If this was bought from Musical Express it is is the one you sold me John. Very nice bass but I wasn't playing it and it was too nice to sit around a work for lunch breaks. Congratulations on your new bass Pete, it certainly is a thing of beauty.

AAh I saw this late last night but too late to phone then. I phoned this morning and snagged it as it was only 15 mins away. A bit tatty with rusty strings and a pot is noisy when turned up but it plays really nicely, great balance and sounds sweet. Someone scratched the name of so I post pictures for an ident when I get a chance. Cheers

PM'd

Just an update on the boss ME-70 guitar effects with Bass. I was messing around with it again last night and stumbled across some relay nice delay/chorus/echo effects. I also set up several combinations of effects and didn't notice any drop off in sound on low notes. It was easy to set up like a series of stomp boxes and I could switch from straight through to various effects combinations. I don't use effects that often so being able to use this is very useful, I like it and don't feel the need to rush out and buy anything specifically for bass. If I find any specific problems I'll update.

Thanks Geoff. I have a Boss ME70 guitar multi effects and have been experimenting with the Comp/FX settings while running my bass through that. That is certainly headed in the right direction so I will check out the boss unit. In-fact I was wondering if I could get away with using the Guitar Multi-effects ME-70 as quite a few of the effects sound greart. My only concern is that I may be loosing some "bass". I saw a Youtube a comparison between a digitech unit and Behringer and the behringer was very much as you described. I really didn't like the roughness/noise. The Digitech sounded Ok to my ears.

OK thanks

Thanks, I have Korean models in the past, two were Legend 4's and found them great to play. I also had an NS2005 that I bought unseen and was taken aback by the chunkiness of the neck and weight of the guitar in general. I must say though that once I started playing it I soon became comfortable with the neck, although I never thought "I love this". That's why I asked the question because if the rebops and Lx 4's have necks comparable with Legend 4's I would be confident that I would like them. In fact one of the Legend 4's became my "go to" bass for a while. I never should have sold it.

That looks like them thanks everyone-especially for taking the picture.
