Beautiful bass!

Mustang.

Do we know what prompted the switch from toasters I rails?

I think Flat Eric has a headless bass that looks like that one, only without a head. He'll be along shortly I'm sure.

Gorgeous looking sandberg. The first maple necked one I've seen too. Love it!

I love it. I'd have a 4000 in a second.

It's probably a nice enough P. it looks cheap though, I'd rather a squier CV to look at.

I need a case too, but I've never seen one .

I reckon you are too shockwave, my nearly mint 82 sunburst blade was £420. I think that is the highest I'd pay, unless you really want a rosewood finger board or one of the rarer colours. If nothing else they are holding their value well at the moment so if for some bizzare reason you don't like it you won't lose out.

I'd like to know what they were aiming for sound wise.

Has anyone tried a 40 on flats? If so what was the result and which flats did you try? I've always had mine on rotos and I fancy a change.

[quote name='Audiokostas' timestamp='1350633611' post='1841391'] Although there is always room in the list (and in my heart) for my beloved Caerdydd, I do not see (unless I am mistaken) any bass pickups. I tried to limit my list to bass pickup manufacturers only, otherwise the list would be a little longer. Thanks anyway. [/quote] They definately exist! I had a set of hot and dangerous Jazz bass custom wounds in my old CIJ.

I have two T-40's which I adore, incase anyone had forgotten/didn't know.

And another, hand wound in Cardiff. www.shedpickups.com

Well I think it's fair to say their strats are geared for metal, they have Floyd rose locking trems and those crazy little Duncan mini buckers in them. I think it is fair to say that brands and genres don't correlate too much. Maybe some guitars are just more versatile than others? Strats, Teles, Les Pauls and SGs spring to mind here. But you don't see too much metal being played on things like 335s, Jags or Jazz Masters.
