I've got a lefty version if you want to check it out. Nice fast neck, pick ups aren't brilliant, but light and comfortable to play. Decent hardware as well Nige

Welcome

Check the ball ends of the strings. They might be a bit loose in the wire loop at the end of the string!!!

How about some Creedence?

I like the lime tye-dye knobs.....

Sure there's an Ampeg rig lurking in the background....

Welcome back

Wonder if it intonates properly or stays in tune..................

I've owned a Sandberg JM4 for about five years. The MM/J arrangement is very versatile, especially when you have a coiltap on the MM (like mine). You can get a very good approximation of a jazz bass, plus the Stingray sound, or a good ballsy sound with both on An active/passive option might be worth thinking about as well(like mine). Nige

Aha!!!

Cheers.... It's the condition/colour of the fretboard that clicked with me. A bit too clean/pale.

I'm no Fender expert. Could someone cast their eyes over this and tell me if it's genuine. Seems a bit clean to me....

Here's a link to one the latest tracks my band Heartbreaker recorded a couple of months ago. It's an old Free track, Ride on A Pony..... See what you think [url="http://soundcloud.com/heartbreaker-no-1/ride-on-a-pony"]http://soundcloud.com/heartbreaker-no-1/ride-on-a-pony[/url] Cheers, Nige

Like the body, neck etc. But the headstock is fugly. Obviously had a lot of work/love thrown at it.

Strings, plecs, ear plugs, leads, gaffa tape, extension power lead, stand, marker pen, paper, towel, spare t-shirt, Gerber multitool, new Protec Contego gigbag(thanks Soliloquy), bass, bass rig. Sure to have forgotten something...... Nige

Nice looker, that!!!

OOOOOH OOOOH, consider my interest piqued!!! Any idea of a rough cost? I'm a lefty as well, if that makes a difference. Nige

Make sure you get a least a couple of locking casters.... I have seen a cab rolling away!!!!

I'm looking at incorporating it in my covers band set on some tunes (bluesy/rocky set with the usual wedding tunes in it :-) ) Thanks guys and gals Graeme[/quote] Welome to the world of EUB. When i started off, i listened to a lot of early Elvis/Jonny Cash type stuff. Mainly root/fifth type stuff, with the odd walking line. Fun to play, and not too taxing on the hand strength. As mentioned, it's worth having a few lessons to help posture, finger use etc. Nige

Welcome matey... I remember those Marshall 7410 cabs. Awesome, but like you say, very heavy

A suggestion for a tryout. An Orange SP212 cab. Some people don't get on with the isobaric design, but it's compact, not too heavy and powerful at 600w into 8 ohms.
