Got to say the teaser pics show how awesome it’s going to be! I was playing my one at a musical last night, I love it so much

Not yet, got a Little Bastard instead though and loving that at the moment. Might accidentally end up with one next time I pop to Ashdown Towers but will try to be good 😇

Sandberg keep producing lovely instruments and this is no exception at all, gorgeous.

Really think I *need* a vertical Two10 in my collection. Need.

The top is something to behold as well, can’t wait to show you a pic of that! It’s going to be quite the bass, just a shame it will have me as it’s player really. I’ll ask @eude to do the sound samples I think!

Bloody photos have come out in the wrong order again 😂

Headstock carved, (Hipshot tuners fitted for an idea), and control cavity drilled and tidied:

Bloody hell what sad news. Only met Colin a couple of times but he was always warm and friendly. My thoughts are with his family and friends

It ain’t us Meerkats though. Just to be clear.

Amazing! Good work

Very nice! I agree with Eude, flamed Myrtle is the winner for me!

They put everyone else to shame with their customer service I think. Top fellas.

Speak to @Ashdown Engineering about both - they’ll certainly be able to help about the hum and can advise on the rack mount possibility. IIRC you can’t rackmount these but I may be (and would be happy to be!) wrong

Those La Bella RX stainless strings are great. I hope you enjoy And yes, BD is always a good fun little experience

I was at Ashdown HQ last week and totally forgot! I’m hoping to pop back in the next month (ish) so will try to do so then

These do look pretty cool. I wonder which poweramp modules they’re using.

Little Bastard. Glorious

Dude, your builds are superb too!

Phil’s been a busy boy! The body blank is now cut to shape, the headstock has had its veneer added and some of the twelfth fret inlay has been, um, inlaid.

Cheap ones from Gear4Music, obvs 🤓

@Cosmicrain did exactly as he promised - there’s a cool video on his Zoot Bass Facebook page. For some reason I can’t copy the link to here but go check it out. It’s amazing what we take for granted in a bass finish, the video is 11 minutes long and doesn’t begin to show the amount of craftsmanship Mike is putting into this. It’s certainly a good window in to the process though

It won’t quite fit on my pedalboard as it stands. So either I’d need a bigger board or I’d need to rearrange things some. Think I’ll take the boy to Andertons this weekend to try it out, he can ogle the guitars and drum kits whilst we’re there. Then I can decide if I need to go slinking back to Sibob, cap in hand, to apologise profusely. 😃

I’ve just found this pedal and have to say I’m struggling not to buy one. Could be perfect for my new project.

The glorious fingerboard in all its, er, glory:
