I've only owned one US Stingray, well a Sterling to be precise, and a few Sandbergs. I think the Sandberg necks are right up there in terms of playability with anything out there.

Close To The Edge was the first LP that ever I purchased.

Odd isn't it. I've had mine for a good few weeks now and really enjoying it. Taken it to a few practice sessions too and it fits in beautifully. A fellow BCer brought his Will Lee Metro (MIJ) bass around so it was good to compare the two (even though his was fretted obvs). I know he is on the look out for a fretless bass and I think he left with a very positive opinion of my MetroExpress bass. Also very interesting to compare the Will Lee to my Sandberg California II TT passive.

I'm being quoted 10-12 months. My last Sandberg came in 9 months so looks like things are getting busier over there.

Lead time getting longer for Sandberg basses. Currently 10-12 months so don't hold your breath.

Just ordered one of these.

I was quoted £1,364 from Classic & Cool Guitars.

Ah OK, I thought you were after the saintly Mrs ead for a moment.

Just ordered one, not a word to Mrs ead please folks...

I feel a GAS build-up starting myself.

What are your specific issues with it as they do look pretty similar to my eyes?

You can play Fb on a fretless bass 😁

Don't know her personally but been to several of her gigs in the UK. Very good they were too.

I have some remorse over a number of basses I have owned and moved on for what seemed like perfectly rational reasons, by which I mean rational seen through the GAS lens. The one I genuinely kick myself about is this early ACG fretless bass. I'd buy it back in an instant.

Just acquired a pedalboard from BW. Everything as described, speedy delivery, happy bunny. Many thanks for an easy ride.

Definitely. I was looking for a low dirt content, lightly over-driven signal to feed into a Flanger. Does the job nicely and a v cheap way of getting that Muse tone for Plug In Baby.

I acquired a pre-loved one of these recently and rather like it too.

Mine wears D'Addario EXL170BTs.

I have a TT (passive) based south of Preston so not too far for you?

The Bass Whisperer did a good video of the Ray34 and SB14 (I think he rather liked both of them).

Just purchased a bass from Ander. Top bloke and went out of his way to make the exchange a bit easier for me; many thanks. Deal in full confidence fellow BCers.

Mine was a black Squier Affinity P bass. It was subsequently donated to a friend's son to learn on as I moved onto a preloved Spector Legend:
