A lot of fenders for sale too... My guess is that the sandbergs might be ‘worth more’ in resale and folks are probably happy enough to hang on to a cheaper decent bass if they’re trying to get some cash during this pandemic. Ironically others might be selling off their fenders as it’s a more widely recognised brand and want to keep the better quality basses they own if they can. Who knows?

Contact Meridian and who knows they might sort you out.

I tend not to abbreviate names too much but saying P and J is pretty expeditious when referring to a bass i.e. saying pass me the .... P. It’s like some said recently abbreviations in language or especially typing usually save time. An example I confess 9 keystrokes must ‘fess 11 keystrokes. Odd right!

G&L pick ups are known for their high output and the reason they’re not as popular IMO is that while folks love them they can be harder to tame due to that output. As to blends they’re grand I suppose but having VVT can be even more of a fiddle as not all tone tapers are the same. Obviously we all get to know the sweet spots and I set my pots to all line up at a blend position I like so while both on full doesn’t look right I know once those pots are in line it’s where I like the blend on the VVT bass. Some simple wee ‘hacks’ can make certain tone recall a bit easier.

It removes dead spots but what about bum notes? If it does I’m buying a laminate neck!

Congrats. I’ve no doubt you’ll make solid use of it!

The tones the guy gets on the demo are bangin and this would be my choice ifi needed these types of sounds and I've said it before but that drum groove is t-i-g-h-t!

That’s the thing with some of these designs - there’s the novelty factor but when they cost ££££ it’s unlikely to appeal to most folks. I guess if they only made a certain amount they only have to appeal to X amount of folk/fanboi’s!

I believe the Sandberg pick ups are designed to compliment each other rather than offer a ‘dead on’ MM tone. Basically the same as the last paragraph above.

My bad for asking about your cab! Let’s hope it’s not another 11 months before the next update/GAS attack. Carry on!

Just suggesting that a 4ohm cab would get the most out of the majority of heads taking into account max power handling/cab rating etc etc.

Maybe a 4ohm cab would be a better single cab solution? That way you’ll get the most out of any head you decided to get down the line. Lots of great deals out there too!

The BB2 will be the gigging cab of choice?

What cab would you be using because at 8ohms with a two speaker cab you’ll still get plenty of air moving. If the Fearless is 4ohm that could likely handle such a head with ease!

It’s a lot of money but it really does blow all other units away. The ability to split the signal into four and even have them affecting various eq bands is mighty interesting. OTT for my needs but would be fun to see what it can do!

*Warning non-Yamaha content* I like it how it turned out as is. A £250 paint job on top of new pick ups and then it all becomes folly! I can see some new dings and a run but for a £120 bass it sounds and feels as good as many other jazz basses out there for a lot more money.

The front looks fine it's just got a few runs on the back but no one will see those. A sparkle flake in Sherwood Green would be fabulous and well worth the professional fee!

Be great to get back out gigging with a refin - a proper sparkles job! I did a Sherwood Green on a cheapie jazz but it really could do with a proper paint. Shame a refin would be over twice the value of the bass! Still worth considering down the line.

Be worth it for a snazzy banger!

Makes me think of The Rev. Horton Heat!

So many folks will be disappointed that these aren't the new colours for 2021. I'd be half tempted to get a bass refinished in that green. It really works on the 734 shape!

Do a you tube search for Vulf compressor 😀

I think most people who have commented are as keen to see the Covid crisis resolved as the next person but to only focus on rose tinted positives when there have been many missteps is a bit galling for some. Sure the glass is half full for those of us one financially comfortable enough to see it through. If on the other hand one is struggling with all the associated impacts of reduced wages, isolation, trying to entertain kids, manage bills, mortgage etc etc then it’s hard to think “I know life is shi8 just now but those lads in Oxford did well!” Maybe once it’s all over folks can look back and appreciate the human endeavour of developing a ‘quick vaccine’ but it’s maybe hard for many to not feel like they’re looking at a generational impact in terms of austerity, tax increases, job security and prospects for them, their kids and the long term educational impact on their children’s futures/employment opportunities etc. Again as has already been said we’re all keen to see positive outcomes but the long term impact has already begun. Still those lads in Oxford did well!
