Rumple

Thanks lowfer, I've come to the conclusion that the SR5 is to date the most comfortable neck for me but that kinda limits the choice of bases other then getting them made for me. I have a Roscoe at the moment as well and it's amazing but the neck is just too wide and long, I give a sigh of relief when I go back to the MM.

Depends what you are after? you can try Allparts or http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/bodies.asp You could get one made by a UK luthier, not as expensive as you might think. R.

[/quote] Thanks for your reply that's very helpful, 65mm at the 12th fret makes me think the neck would be on the wide side for me, SR5's seem to suit me and they are only just wider then that at the 22nd fret. Thanks again and good luck with your sale. R.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1340273202' post='1701960'] I'm going to see Flight of the Conchords on the 26th of June. Not expecting to see many BCer's... [/quote] They are great and I'd like to see them live but as my relative in NZ will be on their way over here on that date it might be a tad rude of me to pop over there for the gig

Thanks for taking the time to reply, very helpful & much appreciated. Blimey 1lb for the paint, that's a lot! so if they 'heavy relic' it it only adds 1/2lb I guess? If no one come back to me here with the info on the neck (T Series) then I'll contact the distributor or Sandberg directly.

Hi, I have a few questions for anyone with a Sandberg California 5 that I can't find the answers to on their website. What is the width at the nut and the 12th or 22nd fret, I'm trying to get an idea of what the neck is like compared to some of the bases I own. I understand from the pdf on their web site that the bridge string spacing is adjustable but what are the extremes? can you get it down to 17mm? The next one is the age old weight question but I guess that's going to be dependant on the body wood, I'd be interested in what Basschatters one's weigh in at. Thanks In Advance R.

I'd like to be able to turn peoples animated avatars off, they really are quite distracting.

Do you work for Pedaltrain Andy?

Thought as much that dark bit of grain on the neck is a real give away. I've only really had it since Tuesday afternoon, lovely looking bass with a big sound. Did you buy it from Bass Direct or pick it up on Basschat secondhand?

Recently got hold of this in a trade, it must have been BigJim's once upon a time. [attachment=109777:P1000336 lr.jpg] [attachment=109778:P1000337 lr.jpg] [attachment=109779:P1000340 lr.jpg]

Coming together nicely, you're not hanging about are you.

If it's 34" scale I might be interested, I've asked the question

You know what Mark I came up with that scratchplate idea, I thought I was being original I had no idea it had been done before I really like that Hamer that's for sale, small string spacing, 5 strings, green hmm....
