Have also used Tonerider pickups. Fitted a set to a Squier jazz bass and they totally changed the sound. Played back to back with my Fender Vintera p bass and the held their own. I could not find the jazz bass bridge for the Sandberg and opted for the Ironstone ones and very glad I did!

Recently discovered the bridge pickup on my Sandberg VT4 was dead. Its a fairly old bass and I wasn't really in the mood to shell out for a brand new Delano jazz pickup. Thought I would give the Ironstone pickup a bash. At under £32 delivered I had nothing to lose......well maybe £32! What a sound! Loud ,clear and dare I say it as good as the remaining Delano neck pickup! To be honest I wasn't 100% sure if it would have worked out.I bought the bass second hand off e bay and only recently noticed the pickup was not working.Went down the wrong road at first and replaced the blending pot( soldering......aarrgghh!!) Anyway,there was an issue with the pre amp but a bit of jiggery pokery sorted that out. After checking the pickup with a multimeter and attemping to open it and sort it out(yes...I know!!) I gave up and bought a jazz pickup from Ironstone. Well worth the money and very pleased with the results!

Jack.....bin it! It's done!!!🤣

Keep it simple Dave. The Mesa stuff is tip top but over the top for pub gigs. I use the Bugera Veyron or my Fender Rumble 200 head. Along with my 2 Fender 1 x15 cabs. No issues,decent sound and the Fender Vintera sounds ace!. No pedals just the tuner out. I'm sure the wee amp will do the job!

I'll just leave this here....

Just sold a bass to one of the fine chaps on here. He had arranged a pickup from my house today and after my wife being in all day and me arriving in after 3 and waiting till 6pm it was a no show. A while later I checked the tracking only to be told that ''Unfortunately we were unable to attempt collection of your parcel today'' What the!!! I had seen the van in our street and thought it was turning at top of the road. Checking online some folk say this is what they do when they are running late or are too busy.. Anyway we will never know cause thats all that was said! It has been rearranged for Wednesday. Fingers crossed!!

We are back in on the 26th December. Drop in at some point and speak to Paul. Its a good setup and usually crowded!

True Dave......we all like a bit of slagging in Scotland! Wait....does that mean something else in other parts of the country?

Good gig in Village Inn,East Kilbride. The owner Paul is very much behind live music and it's a good venue to play. Pretty packed it suffers from the usual whizzed up punters so called dancing in front of the band. Had stand on the feet of the mike stand to save it getting knocked over a couple of times. One of our guitar players usually plays a Gibson Les Paul. He did the gig with some old £40 thing last night just in case.....For some reason some punters wanted drum sticks off the drummer at the end of the night. I think I might take a handful of old strings with me next time out....

Are you allowed to say that now....with all things being ''pc''.....We have two vocalists!....There!

Nice one Dave. Glad it all went well.....backing vocalist?...I think Lynn deserves a bit more respect than that! lol.

Don't listen to drummers......lol

P bass....no pedals! Keep it simple!

I stand corected as they say....I actually think it sounds fine as is. But I have adjusted the price a bit to make it more in line with what it is which is stock. It's hard to get an idea of a price with it being pretty rare and not many examples about.

Last one on here seems to have sold for £550....I shall see what it fetches soon I hope lol! Thanks for posting!

Watched it.....to be honest I thought it was awful.

I seem to remember buying that said Sunburst bass from you Andy. Cracking guitar. I got offered another 1100s in a trade in shortly afterwards and decided to keep it,sticking the one I bought from you on the usual places. It was bought by a nice chap called Martin from London. I sold it for £300 plus £20 postage. A snip I hear you say! Anyway,I put the money to something else nice. You can imagine my surprise when checking the postal address and seeing it was The Bass Gallery,Camden. You can also imagine my surprise as it appeared on the shops web page for sale at £950. It's still there now!! London prices!!! What are they like!!!....................................
