Looks like Guitar Guitar have just taken delivery of the Electra range !
Decent prices too the VS4 at £499 and the TT4 at £569

Well worth a look in if you pondering on a P or J bass

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fantastic amp... i bought Cetera's 300... absolutely stunning.. nothing gets near it!!! [/font][/color]

The hardwear is sourced from the far east and so far seems good
the tuners stay in tune during gigging conditions and bridge is
easily adjusted once you understand the locking screws

The nut measures 38mm and feels jazz like and is not chunky

Used it tonight 'live' for the first time and have another festival
tomorrow so will give my views and review then

Will measure it when I get home ......

Big band got the buck ! worth every penny

I like 'em !

Hardwear seems very good, lets see how it stands gigging and time.
Not sure its actual Sandberg hardwear off the high end basses
more like designed by but seems ok

The electrics are the same, but again seem good, will come back after
two gigs at the weekend

Can't think of a downside yet .....

Really pleased with it and at this sort of price range you cant go wrong, feels and sounds like a lot of bass for the money
Well worth a try if you can find one in stock

Will come back with more info once I have used it in anger on Saturday and Sunday ...

I've just taken delivery of my new Sandberg Electra VS4 .... I pondered hard and long which colour to go for, not that there's
a massive choice ! Just Tobacco Burst or Cream .... I decided on the Tobacco (see pix below) the satin finish is smooth
and just feels great, neck is also has a smooth satin feel too, not glossy or sticky.

First impressions fresh out of the box is very good indeed, I'll go through each point, if you have any question just ask and I'll
do my very best to let you know the answer ....

The fit and finish is second to none, the overall finish is superb with nothing at all to comment on except its excellent
Neck pock is as tight as you can possibly get and is held in there with SIX screws, so its going nowhere.

The edge of the fretboard is smooth and well finished, I was worried about not having big dots on the fretbord, but to be honest
you don't notice it, the small dots on the edge are enough. Looks so cool with out dots too !

All of the hardwear appears to be good quality, tuners stay in tune and bridge is fully adjustable (once you work out what
each grub screw does, refer to the handbook if you don't know as its not obvious) The nobs are nice too and the addition of
the string tree that holds the A/D/G stings down is a great touch. The strap buttons are compatible with Schaller strap
locks as well as standard straps too, so no faffing around having to change them.

The truss rod is accessed at the head so easily adjusted, I straightened the neck slightly with a 1/4 turn and dropped the action
very slightly at the bridge and still has buzz free playing all over the neck ..... The necks are PLEK'd at the factory in Germany
as part of the finishing and assembly process (mine was done by Carlos) You will not find a bass at this price with a plek'd neck
and it does make a difference.

I have now have a bass that plays and feels like something costing double !

The electronics seem up to the Sandberg standard too, although not the same as the high end basses, the pick-up looks
like the Delano pups with massive pole pieces. Active electronics with bass and treble boost / cut as well as passive mode too.
with the bass and treble set flat if you switch between the active and passive there is very little difference or 'colour' change.
The active when used is natural sounding and not clinical like some.

A good punchy tone and not a lot to of EQing needed, great having bass and treble at your fingertips if you need to dial a little
of each into your tone. Only a little touch needed though.

If you pondering on a new P-Bass and looking at a MIM Fender then also look at on of these (they do a Jazz model too the TT4)
Before you shell out the same money on a Fender find someone who stocks both and TRY THEM. You will not be disappointed
theres not a lot of them around but Guitar Guitar and PMT will be stocking them in the next couple of weeks as I tried my
local PMT in Northampton and the bass tech reliably informed me !

Yum ... just got one

No fivers yet, they do a P-Bass (VS4) and a Jazz (TT4) in two colours only Tabacco with Black scratchplate and Cream with Tort
.............. will report back once mine has arrived !

They are not quite under £500 more like £550ish, I've got Electra VS4 coming today so will get some pictures and a review sorted ASAP !
Then let you know how I get on out and about live with two different bands too .............

How are you getting on with the Electra ?

How did you get on shipping your bass ?

Bump .... come and have a try if your around !

MIM Fender Precision in sunburst with tort scratchplate ... very James Jamerson !
It comes fitted with a [b]Wizard Thumper [/b]pick up and a higher mass bridge

I still have the original bridge, pick up and a spare black scratchplate
and I can throw a set of flats if you fancy a bit of woody thump !

In all round great condition and will come with a nice gig bag

Come and give it a try / collect in Corby, Northants NN18 9BS

Lovely dark rosewood fingerboard and its not heavy either !

£330.00 or a sensible offer ...

Sorry NOT interested in trades at the moment

Possible meet up within a reasonable distance, fuel at your cost

Same for this one, any good in a live full band situation (pop, rock & indie)

Being truthful, is it any good and is it especially any use in a full band situation ?

Why is this still here FFS !?

What is the legal and license requirement for this wireless?

One of the guys on here CETERA playes in a KISS tribute band Dressed to Kill and they have played for various members including Gene Simmons and even played with some ex members on stage !

If there was an issue you'd expect Gene Simmons to be at the front of the que with his hand out : )

Well that just goes to show the lack of love ! only one reply .................

Whats happened to the Sandberg Electra range, I've not seen one anywhere and also not seen
many comments from people who actually have one !

They had an buzz about them before they were released but now nothing, also not seen a used one
come up in the market place either ....

I guess the only argument is that a new Electra is around the price of a used 'proper' Sandberg
orrrrrrrrrr is it that the lack of decent colours available? Turdburst isnt too everyones taste !

Would still like to try one though

Would it actually make any difference which way? What did you decide and why?

I have a similar quandry in that I have a USA Fender S1 P-Bass and I am struggling to get decent output form the G string
I've lowered the E/A side and raised the G as high as it will go and dropped the D side slightly .... I aslo swapped
the two halves over as I was convince that one half was slightly more powerful than the other !

Anyhoo any comments or advice appreciated ta
