I sold a Hartke Kickback amp to Aaron and this was his first transaction on basschat. Communication was great and as it happened I was passing where he works so I could drop the amp off with him on the very same day - the planets were in alignment for sure! Lovely guy, buying it for his girlfriend so I'm not sure if he'll be doing anything else on basschat but I thought I'd leave positive feedback anyway. All the best!

I started the applause when she said that!

Actually, Yolanda mentioned she'd tried every bass in The Bass Gallery and decided that Sandberg was the way to go. I emailed her this morning to ask to go on any mailing lists to find out aboug gigs and she messaged me back really quickly, which was lovely! https://bnds.us/jqrxsd Gonna get her album on vinyl when it's out. I really think that at the level she's operated for the past few decades, it's not just her absolutely epic musicianship that's gotten her the work, but she's clearly a really good person to be around. I think the same thing is the case for a lot of side-men like Guy Pratt, Gail-Ann Dorsey - they're not just great bass players, but they're also the kind of people that you'd want to hang out with.

It was. She said she'd been up in Glasgow so I guess all the branches are getting a visit, but I did see the event quite quickly and bagged a ticket sharpish - they went fast!

I really wanted to give a big shout out to GuitarGuitar for putting on a free Sandberg/Yolanda masterclass and showcase last night. I mean, it was a big old marketing event with the founder Holger Stonjek on the Cajon, but the four-piece they had was very listenable and it was really good fun to hear from the guy who started the company. Yolanda though, what a talent and such a communicator. Really enjoyed hearing about her work touring with Hans Zimmer. One person in the audience even won a Sandberg California bass!!!! Anyway. I'm not on the socials so this is the best way I can think to let people know that it was a really good event, well organised, huge fun to be at, and I am proud to support an employee-owned company that seems to be doing well selling guitars on high streets around the country in a very tough market.

Gnnnnnggggggmmnnn!!!!! I am squirming as I read this! Hope you heal quickly. Aiiiiii….

Ahhh. Well. That’s interesting.

Really? That's interesting. I didn't know that.

Well at the rate the price is going down in 20 years it’ll be a bargain!

How you getting on with the preamp? Do you use the active much? It there a passive option?

That looks tasty!

Yeah…. It’s not been in the hands of a luthier has it? I guess someone saw that mint ones were worth a fair bit and thought they’d try their luck.
