https://www.sandberg-guitars.de/support/serial-numbers/ It comes up from time to time - they have it on their web site now.

EBS is very good - a good chap with a great ear i know has one and it is right there for that mild overdrive sound. @Dood lemme know if you ever need one, i have a spare! used to live in Naaaaaaaaaaaarich, if i am ever passing i can drop off for giggles. This thread is opening a can of quality worms for you!

Oh and the Lehle one you want is Sonic Spark

@Dood can you do a 3rd one on the DP3X-enjoyed the first 2

If you pop earphones or ear defenders on then it won’t be so loud so you can turn it up

It’s a problem with demos-they go from no gain to high gain and super high gain and you have to pick your way and work out the middle ground which is fine, but not ideal for everyone. imho these are the people to listen to Good quick demo - Steve Cook premier guitar In depth with chat @Dood guitar interactive or Nathan Navarro in depth no chat- mr excane

Did I? Silly me..........that fits in your hand too Plus if you have a tuner that can go with one of these

The pedal is tiny - it fits in your hand

Oh and i totally get you about board Tetris - it can be so much fun

The Lehle one is also absolutely fantastic, great great pedal. What my good chap @fretmeister pointed you too is great, and as ever i will nod my hat to their Tech21 DP3X pedal - it really also can do it all and is built to fit with other instruments in a band - some reports say that you cant have a good sound the clean or mix engaged without twiddling dials - that is bunkum you absolutely can. If you want a big array of sounds the Tech21 PSA 2.0 is also phenomenal. But back to your original question about Darkglass - yes it can and IMHO their best and most versatile pre-amp pedal before the ADAM is the AO - i would probably pick that above all others.

Yes you absolutely can, and you can stack it with whatever you want Harmonic booster is another non ‘metal’

Get a jazz body and rout it Job done

I like the idea of a floating mic that rotates constantly keeping the sound fresh

Oh go on then

Glenn dUg Corey Glover Chris Cornell Lane Staley If you could fuse all them together - perfection

You know me - I have already clocked the new Dead Daisies album. For anyone wanting a crushing phenomenal bass tone - Glenn and this is the song - it’s phenomenal https://youtu.be/Gc1oOsGxoAk

Not weird at all - I find it waaaaaaaaay easier with pick compared to fingers - eventually fingers gets easier again - I think there is too much going on co-ordinating right and left hand fingers. The best singing bassists out there are Glenn Hughes and dUg Pinnick a they use picks - I am happy to be a very poor man’s version

The thought has reproduced my breakfast, which coonicidentally looks like one of those finishes

I know some people may think it’s a hassle swapping pick ups out etc. And that the bass should be perfect without changing anything. Blah blah blah, but the Sandberg from choice of wood, treatment, fit and finish is absolutely supreme - this is your foundations, walls, roof, everything of your bass - changin the pick up is like popping a new boiler in (but less expensive!). what you have is the best shell to do what you want, and you can sell on pick ups, if you wanted a specific set and sent it to them they would probably whack them in. Aguilar do great vintage pick ups, Lollar, Lindy Fralins, EMG GZR, Ulyate Tic Tac, but my fave are Creamery 58 pick ups - U.K. made and stellar - so you could just whack them in and hey presto. For my 2 pence worth - if you are after a classic P sound - do. It get a PJ (VT) or a VM bass - that little bit of wood routed away and probably some slight extra wiring just alters the sound enough even if you turn them off to move away from a P - Get a VS passive and pop a pick up of choice if what they provide is not your flavour Just mu Opinion of course - but the bass is killer

Lockdown madness

https://www.sandberg-guitars.de/dealer-america/ There is a Quebec dealer - I know it’s not near but.....

Not one to diss Sandberg - but what on earth are they thinking here..... I blame that Marc Najar dude - horrendous

More TE heft chat again no doubt.....🤦🏾‍♂️

Remember it’s how you pair with an onboard pre amp or external one is the key as well as your playing style, and I would say more than other basses they are sensitive to the strings used, you may het the best out of it with not your normal string choice. There are other preamps like Noll they can put in, Noll is another German manufacturer and their pre-amps are a bit harsher and have more guts than Delano. I will pick up on the MM pick up - it’s never meant to sound like a Ray pick up - it’s in a different place and does not have the same preamp - it’s there to add more clarity and cut to whatever is in the neck position

I found one I wrote a while ago - so excuse the copy paste...... I should probably save the post I wrote on this, as I have replicated it a number of times, so........This is all preamp aside Delano - hifi, not sterile, more modern sounding, great clarity, fine to use with effects but you have to know what you want to do Sandberg - I am pretty sure at some point there was a generational shift, but, more classic/vintage sounding, lower output, but just the right output to play with pre amps etc and not overload the front end like the G&L MFD pick ups do - very very good sounding, but I think their split coil is the weakest of the lot (dunno why, not as good as their jazz) Sandberg black label - as above but with even more punch and zing, more of a modern nod and a real punch to the guts - especially good in with SL basses, as they need more oomph being lightweight - very very good pick ups Haüssel-like the sandberg ones on steroids, huge balls and character and they also do a big pole version I have used in another bass - so much beef that Jon Snow, the TT which @DJ’65 has now solo’d on the neck is practically a P bass sound - very good pick ups, slightly harder to tame with pre-amps etc. very quick overview IMHO
