Just gave my pal a Martin C melody sax!!! STill own and play a Martin Master Typewriter alto from 1931......in museum condition and original case......no pinky tables! All keys are pearls......... Check out this guy.........no electronics, circular breathing on a Supa Bass.................

Any of you got any other examples of ugly basses so that I have something to compare the Exterminator to .......?

Thank you for your experience @Happy Jack would welcome finding out what strings you have on the III when you get back to the studio. Will probably save me heaps of money.

I'm loving these comments!!

What can the members recommend please?

The guy in Colombia is actually Polish, had a few emails with him, nice guy. I cannot decide if I like them or not.......completely subjective ............

I don't think Mozart ever mixed anything....he was a crap DJ.......

Great point........I asked for some more info, this is what came back. CITES may well be interested......... about exterminator bass,basically i can make 3 versions, -bolt on ,this style can be like original with laminated 3 pieces body walnut canary walnut,hardwood neck,on original was used very rare tulipwood neck,not exactly tulipwood,but here called guayacan rayo,is similar to canary but harder,or other,from semihard to extra hard, -neck thru version,recomended with semihard neck thru,and walnut or other wings -slab one piece,,on that case i would need to use semihard wood for some kind of static good neck,and make some slimer, this model is +3 inch fat body original near 4,so would be matter of avoid excess of weight for using a harder wood that walnut for 4 string bass,or 5 ,1 truss rod for 6 or 7 2 truss rods,,,this models has 1 inch wider body just for avoid that it seems not good about unit of neck and body pickups,hardwound,but also EMG or economic, i can get Shadow economic,very good quality or others similar, all the other by the way, usually i need to make a complete study for the work,i tell you only in basic lines,but we would need to make a complete specs checking thanks a lot have nice day saludos desde Colombia

My condolences RIP

Has anyone ever heard of/had experience of these? https://reverb.com/uk/item/33508606-private-stock-exterminator-4-5-6-or-7-strings-gorgeous-bass-preorder-now

Enjoy the board, always something to read and welcome

Be careful! I have bought two Sandbergs off the members here.......both superb and great purchases by the way, can only recommend the site and members. Welcome

You're not that old! Plenty of time to create mayhem! Welcome.........always like a bass snob!

Constantly looking at new bands and "new to me" bands. Calling Dead Red Roses - new to me '80s goth Whispering Sons - new YAK - excellent new band, seen them live well worth the ticket Dogs in Trees - new Polish band Band of Horses

Get down to a few shops and give some basses a try. I have had a few Fenders and they just didn't suit me. Completely happy with Sandberg now. And trying to control/use an Ovation Magnum!
