  1. I have managed to source a Fender short scale gig bag for this bass so I can throw that in instead of a full size gig bag if preferred. I am off work until Wednesday and if someone wants to buy this and requires postage, I wouldn`t be able to get it collected from me until Thursday. Ta
  2. To be fair Lobster is getting another bass in as a replacement and I think Roger S was saying that it was hard to get people over there to get a handle on the qc due to covid. Lobsters reviews are quite entertaining...
  3. Here is Lowend lobsters recent review, the qc seems a bit suspect on this one.
  4. Thats some pad you have there Dad. Right I`m moving to France!!
  5. NOW SOLD! Fender Mustang black limited edition from Bax music. Bought this earlier this year but not been able to use this, you all know the story..... Usual Mexican Mustang spec but with black hardware and ebony board and rather sexy black headstock with Fender logo only. The neck has a bit of flame on it. Weight is 3.6 kg or 7.9 lb`s. Great condition apart from a small dink on the front face of the headstock near the end, not through to the wood. I had a badass bridge on it but it didn`t make much difference so I took it off, sold it and replaced it with a different hi mass bridge which does the job fine for a lot less cash. There is a couple of small marks where the baddass was but none are through the paint and you can only see them close up. See photos. There is some dust on the bass even though I dusted it before hand and black is a bugger for showing up the slightest things. I`m looking for £400 for this collected, postage will be an extra £20, UK mainland only, bank transfer please. It will come in a rather nice full size gig bag as I don`t have a short scale version. No trades please
  6. I realise that having the truss rod adjustment at the body end keeps it "vintage correct" but in this day and age this method of adjustment should have been binned years ago. It would put me off buying a bass with this kind of set up.
  7. As a sale for this bass has had less interest than a Bank of Scotland savings account, I may be open to a trade on a similar value 4 string bass. Not got anything particular in mind but must be 4 strings and be UK based. If interested pm me.
  8. I use a ART Mic valve pre and it does the job going into my RCF speaker. Cost about £70 if I remember. Just another option to think about.
  9. I love an ABM but as weight and size is an issue for you, the RM is the next best thing.
  10. The only reason not to buy that Sandberg is to buy a TM4 and just by chance there is one for sale in the marketplace for £200 less than that one
  11. I play in an ac/dc tribute and we do it the way it was originally played. The only change we make are we do the live versions of some of the tracks which are different but not by much. A lot of dc tribute bands add in extra fills and runs and it just doesn`t work as the music is straight ahead rock and roll. I imagine that some folk would find it a bit boring but we all love the real band so everything is cool. When I played in a pop/rock covers band, I got it as near as possible but as was said earlier, I played stuff for years only to find out that I had been playing it "wrong" the whole time.
  12. Price drop to £900. Bit of a bargain for this as they retail at £1350.
  13. I really fancy the burst one but not at £2000. You aren`t even getting the active eq for that but I guess that some folk could see that as a +
  14. NOW TRADED I bought this new a few months back but as usual with Jazz style basses (I know this isn`t strictly a Jazz) I`m just not bonding with it so I will stick it up here and see if there is any interest. It is in as new condition and has never left the house. It weighs 4 kg or 8.8 Lb`s and is fitted with a brand new set of D`Addario nickel strings. The build quality is fantastic as any Sandberg owner will testify. The pickups are by Delano and you can split the humbucker and use it as a normal Jazz bass. There is a passive option by pulling out the volume knob and the treble control becomes your passive tone control. The neck size is between a Jazz and a P. If posting is required, I will only send it on an insured service and this will require a hardcase which I will source but this will take a few days to sort out so please understand this. The cost of this insured service is around £30 but I will spilt the cost with the buyer, so £15 each. Please note payment by bank transfer only and strictly UK mainland. I will not be sending this overseas so please don`t ask. Specs: Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fretboard: Rosewood Scale: 34" 22 Frets Pickups: 1 Delano J-Style and 1 Delano Power humbucker PU Split Sandberg 2-band EQ Active/Passive Colour: Blackburst Matt
  15. Agreed. I wouldn`t touch some of that stuff unless I had my pink marigold`s on I think the auction should be called "Some nice amps but some right old tat that I was gonna skip but hopefully some mug will buy it!"

    UPS

    Funnily enough I sent a bass with UPS 18 months ago, sent them the dimensions with a couple of cm`s added on just in case then got an e mail after they delivered it ok to say that the package was larger than what I had said. They weren`t going to charge me extra on this occasion (how nice of them) but if it happened again in the future they would. Guess who hasn`t used them again? Not that they are bothered.
  17. NOW SOLD I had this up before but decided to keep it but it`s not being used so it`s back up for grabs at a cracking price. Swamp ash body, Omega "baddass style" bridge, Hipshot lic tuners, 38 mm nut, 2-band EQ w/Passive-Active Push-Pull. Weight is 4.2 kg or 9.2 il`s. There are a few marks on the end of the headstock, a black mark on the back of the neck - it might be a wood knot and on the front of the bass, above the pickups, it looks like the clear lacquer has been applied too heavily and if you spin the bass into the light at certain angles, you can see a slight rippling of the clear coat. This is hard to see and not visible normally, I can`t even get it to show in a photo I just like to be upfront about these things. The price is £170 collected/local meet up or I can post for an extra £15 UK mainland only. If you want to arrange your own courier I will have it boxed up for you.
  18. It`s all relative. Some folk and shops are asking £800 + for 2009 ish US Standard P basses and I bought a brand new one in 2008/09 for £850. So I reckon around £1100 for a decent MM is ok.
  19. Bit pricey. £1739 for a P bass? They are nice but too expensive for me.
  20. I sold this to Keir and if I had the cash I would buy it back as it sounds and looks great. Look at the YT clip, it spanks the Squier`s bottom. And Keir is a great guy to deal with. GLWTS
  21. Well thanks to "wee Nicola" and her bunch of wacko`s I think our next gig is pencilled in for the 33 rd of Julember next year.
  22. If you are looking for a decent cheap pickup, have a look at the Tonerider pickups. I have had one in my Nate Mendel P for a few years and it`s a great pickup for not a lot of cash.
  23. I wonder how much? £3500 ish?
