  1. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1394047176' post='2387389'] Nice.. [/quote] [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1394047383' post='2387395'] That's a pretty cool looking bass GLWTS [/quote] Cheers guys it is a beauty (should I sell...is it too cheap?)
  2. Didnt think id sell this but have rediscovered my P bass Love. Have my eye on one so willing to take a hit on what it owes me! Sandberg basic 4 string Bass. single MM humbucker. 3 band active glockenklang preamp gives a great range of tones from thumping p through tighter j bass to full on 'ray. Very versatile with a lovely slim 2 octave maple neck with rosewood finger board. Ash body, very light and well balanced with no hint of neck dive. Hand built german quality. 6 bolt neck, factory fitted schaller strap locks and sandberg 3d adjustable bridge. Check the Sandberg website for further details. Excellent condition with only 1 small mark on the front (small mark not through the finish) that I couldn't pick up with the camera. Just mention it to be totally honest. Comes with sandberg quality padded gig bag (hard case in 1st photo not included) tools and original bill of sale (bought from pmt for a deal of £950 but normally retailing at over 1K) £550 delivered in uk or £525 if you wanna pick up from just outside vibrant Liverpool :-) Can't upload photos via my tablet so here's a drop box link. Hope it works https://www.dropbox.com/sh/feek11kmm3f8d2t/vu5TDo0SUu Here's a few YouTube clips of a basic in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f987QpsQd8Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llfsw4GFgSU
  3. One of my fav colour schemes, have a bump. post 2008 fenders are top draw. Wish you hadn't put more holes in it tho
  4. You Forgot to mention straplocks fitted as standard type bump
  5. By the way GLWTS :-)
  6. +1 to the above. Tbh I thought the action was took high on mine but I just needed to whip thew neck off and adjust the relief, new strings to my taste and its playing as good as I could wish for. iMHO I think these are very very good p basses. OK there's no graphite rods or ultra light tuners but there isn't in a vintage 70s bass, its as close to that classic you'll get without a remortgage and you can give it a proper gigging without needing a force field around you, get drunk after the gig and pick it up in the morning. It was modelled on a working mans bass and will do the same job
  7. [quote name='simon1964' timestamp='1392420781' post='2368719'] That may be your opinion, but it lacks class posting it in someone else's for sale thread... [/quote]
  8. [quote name='Freewheeler1968' timestamp='1392416999' post='2368665'] What upgrades does it have please. they are MIM right? Nick [/quote] Spb3 pups badasss bass 2 bridge lightweight ash body nitro finish (lightly reliced so you dont have to baby it)slimmer than normal p bass neck fender stamped 70s machine heads (they don't make these in mexico, they're the same as you'd get from the CS) Bang for buck a top spec p bass I'd say
  9. As far as I know all USA PS and Js had rolled edges from 2008 onwards
  10. I told the fella in the wanted section about one Id seen on Gumtree just trying to help a BCer out. Didn't respond, so think that's dead in the water. Great basses these forget the SIG. Forget the FFs if they're not your bag. Just a quality p bass with nitro and several other great upgrades out the box
  11. [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1391384898' post='2356666'] Look out for a used Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5, or even a Basic 5. Great, handcrafted basses for not much money. [/quote] +1 won't go wrong with a 'berg
  12. My mistake. didn't need a shim just adjusted the neck relief, set up string height to factory settings and with fresh strings. Jobs a goodun
  13. Just bought someTI flats, fast delivery good comms and no problems
  14. Anyone had to shim their Nate? Badass a tad high for me. Would have thought they'd have had a shallower neck pocket knowing they were going to leave the factory with a badass 2 as standard. Not shimmed mine but considering it. Still a belting bass tho. Loving mine
  15. No way of swapping it round so the adjustment is at the neck end? Hex adjustment where the plug was like the later squires saves taking the neck off to adjust
  16. A lightweight nitro finished, ash bodied, quality built P Bass. Excellent choice not only as a first bass but one that will give years of gigging service if required. Good choice well done enjoy!
  17. [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1390579226' post='2347191'] If anyone gots a speare tugbar they don't want you know where I am, mine didn't come with one [/quote] One on ebay right now £7 I think. Seriously though great colour scheme that is only available in £300 and £3k basses. MAD
  18. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1390575265' post='2347087'] A road worn Precision in fiesta red with rosewood neck you say? Better start saving for a Pino! http://www.fender.com/basses/precision-bass/pino-palladino-signature-precision-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-fiesta-red/ [/quote] Haha thats exactly what im after but on a tighter budget
  19. Sorry I meant with RW neck. If they did a road worn 60s p bass as opposed to a 50s that would be my weapon of choice
  20. i keep looking at these as i love the colour scheme my only doubt is the basswood body? dont know why but i just want alder or ash. wish fender offered fiesta red in their other ranges
  21. [b][b]Fender Precision[/b] - 2005, MIM. Gift from my Dad last year[/b] [b]Line 6 Variax[/b] - Gift from my Dad last week. you have a cool Dad! sell everything but the precision it only does one thing but does it so right. congratulations on impending fatherhood its the hardest job youll ever have but the only only that will really satisfy you.
  22. want want want. envy overdrive love a nice p bass and they are beauties. well done enjoy
  23. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1390380482' post='2344606'] I've tried loads, cheap & dear but I always go back to my Precision. Looking for another as a backup. Even with small hands it just works for me. Simple person, simple bass. [/quote] +1 I started with a Jap P and it served me well for years, moved on to usa p then went down the road of trying all sorts EBMM first a usa sub then 'rays fretted and fretless, sandbergs etc.only one jazz for a very short time (went back to dolphin cos the strap pin fell out!) years of knob twiddling and never being happy with my sound -too boomy, not clear enough, not cutting through etc etc Ive just come full circle and am back with a nate mendel. love it a P serves me and my band the best. already gassing for a roadworn P but must admit I still fancy giving a jazz a proper run out (probalby before deciding i prefer a p bass! my current set up is p bass, OTB 500 amp and an ashdown LB212 cab all parts bomb proof and literally plug and play
  24. I have a badass 2 on my nate mendel and its very good although I would have preferred the version with several pre cut grooves in the saddles. The Badass 3 has through body sringing option and precut grooves so would do you fine. bit hard to get hold of at the moment but there wa one on ebay yesterday Bri
  25. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1389810228' post='2338182'] That thing's built like a tank, it's no doubt had some rough nights and has probably outlived several of its owners. I reckon it's probably scared a Strat or two in its time also and growls every time a keyboard player even looks at it. The odd p****d punter invading the stage isn't going to worry it in the least All joking aside, some old basses just look built to last, that's one of them [/quote] [quote name='Jebo1' timestamp='1389818078' post='2338339'] Basses are built to be played. My 66 Fender has cigarette burns, a stain from a pint glass and a bite mark! Buy it, play it, love it (and get insurance!) [/quote] you guys are just making it worse!
