[size=3][b]TOP QUALITY PROFESSIONAL LEVEL INSTRUMENT [/b][/size] [attachment=69611:IMG_8156.JPG] This was bought brand new from Andy Baxter in Hackney - very cool bass, no issues whatsoever. It is of course reliced, and made up to look like it's toured across the States and has been done pretty darn well I'd say. It plays like a dream with two Di Marzio Jazz pups that capture the harmonics of the notes wonderfully. They are pretty grindy, but also produce amazing lows. Passive - vol/vol/tone - All finishing work is in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer. Single action truss rod with heel adjust. Vintage Kluson style tuners. Tusq Nut. Alder body with Rosewood fingerboard. Neck has medium large frets, a 10 radius on the fretboard and is medium C . Weighs: 9lb 8oz. The craftmanshp is fantastic, neck is [b]straight[/b] as a dye, fret finish good, and the whole thing is so sturdy and well made. The profile of the neck is deeper than your average Jazz - more P bass-ish - but it's actually very comfortable once you bond with the bass. It certainly doesn't hinder playing. For those who don't know, Nash are made by Bill Nash in the US - as their website says : "What is a Nashguitar? It's the closest thing to vintage that you can get without taking a second mortgage. It's a hand-crafted guitar with a vintage vibe. It's an old-school electric with new-school parts. It's a guitar set up by a pro to be played by anyone." see here for more info [url="http://www.nashguitars.com/IMHO.htm"]http://www.nashguitars.com/IMHO.htm[/url] Pick up is best. Or will drive within an hour to meet up. Or post at buyer's expense. [b]This comes with a Nash hardcase also[/b] [attachment=69613:IMG_8132.JPG][attachment=69618:IMG_8139.JPG]

but you've still got your early 70's P right?

Great post - I know it's probably a little saccharin, but for me it's Californication - such sweet tones on bass - For the record John Frusicante's solo work is amazing - in particular Ataxia, which he formed in 2004, I think, with Joe Lally. They made one very engrossing album

The fretless looks great

GreeneKing's recent post over in Bass Discussion seems to have brought a few Sandberg owners to the surface, and there's a few other lurkers I've seen on the forum... So here's to kick off. My blonde/tort JM4 - an unsure relationship with mine at the mo, re. sounds, but no denying the beauty and sheer classiness of the workmanship and finish. A very easy bass to play with an action to die for. [attachment=68967:IMG_0931.jpg]

Bassnut I was thinking the same thing re the amp situ - I also have a Bassman amp and I haven't played the JM through it yet, I'm sure that will make all the difference
-
what strings are you using out of interest?
-
i know mine's a 4, but the jury's still out for me with my JM. Not sure what you have GreeneKing, but the Delano pick ups and Sandberg pre-amp all sounds a little too modern for my ears. You can definitely get some good tones out of the bass, it just doesn't feel too soulful - +1 to other posts. I've owned a Stingray before and the MM pick up sounds are very different
-
Altho I play 4, I find my self thinking about 5's a lot - pretty much set on a mooch to Brum this Sunday to have a play on a SR5 or something...I have a battered old Yamaha 5er that I would never gig but I like the economy of notes and playing higher up the board so much that I keep looking at my other basses and wondering what I might sell/trade to make the move for a decent 5 string --

oh yeah, I'm happy to TAKE it - forget the money

[quote name='Clarky' post='1086810' date='Jan 12 2011, 03:44 PM']I hate bad manners (not Buster Bloodvessel's lot!) We auditioned a drummer and took him for a drink in November. Said he would get back to us that week. Guess what ......[/quote] yeah, but that's cos he's a drummer

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1086384' date='Jan 12 2011, 08:21 AM']What bass and amp are you using? And when you say 'thickening up' the sound, are you after something that will be always-on or some kind of enhancement for sections such as choruses? Dan[/quote] hmm, well depends to be honest - have an active Sandberg, which I don't think needs any addition, but also use a passive jazz and wondering it might need some enhancement playing live - we're a three piece but drummer and guitarist both v loud - the rig depends on the gig: sometime suse what's there, or my own rig is in my sig -
-
yep i thought that - could bear an o/drive with the setting on absolute minimum will also think about the chorus -
-
Guys, I'm really not a fan of o/drive or fuzz on bass, best left to guitars, but I DO want to thicken/beef up the live sound - what's best for this? Are there other options?
-
cheers - bump again
-
lovely looking thing - anyone who can source this bass rocking out clean? - every Cliff B one I find he's got effects all over it...

[quote name='thunderbird13' post='1078465' date='Jan 5 2011, 12:29 PM']I'm glad some other people have had the honesty to say they dont like the sound of themselves recorded. After getting a zoom pedal I got cubase with it and now I force myself to record one excercise and listen to it after a practice session. TBH after the first couple of times I was almost going to give up bass I was that bad, timing , bum notes , note duration everythng sounded off. I think being conscious of these things has helped as now my recordings arent quite so unlistenable , although I really dont enjoy the process[/quote] yeah, altho recording is such a different mental approach to playing live - ie. recording, for me, becomes a very self conscious experience and I'm more likely to play sh*t cos someone just pressed a red button!!! Playing live offers a vibe to lose yourself in (if it's a good gig!!)
-
yes i spend a lot of time stressing over this - good to see it raised as a thread Bubinga - i worry most about how much messiness/extraneuos sound etc, carries in a live situation - when practising alone it can get frustrating and discouraging - but i guess that's the beauty of instruments coming together in a song situ, ie. that what you fret (pardon pun) over alone becomes inconsequential when the fuller wash of music takes over - clarky - I'm the same with preferring flats, altho I have been persevering with nicklewounds etc, but it's just that unpolished quality they throw back at you can take some getting used to. Lesson for me: work hard at technique to keep it clean, but remember that it's a whole sound, (should you be a person who gigs)..
