    Congratulations.

    Having had a long chat with Mark at Bass Direct this morning I'm going to go with a Nordstrand MM4.2 pickup over the other two I mentioned above.

    Just checked back on the Euro LE necks. I'd say very similar to the neck on my Sandberg Calirfornia II TT bass. Hope that helps as an alternative frame of reference.

    At the moment I have nothing to compare them with directly however I think @Paulhauser is correct as the two Euro LEs I have are both very comfortable. Not sure the nut width has changed but the Euro 4LEs definitely feel thinner front to back than what I recall of the previous Euro 4LX I used to own.

    Hey folks I'm doing a little project to convert one of the 'value' Stingray copies to sound a more like the pre Ernie Ball Rays. I'm going to go for a Stinger '77 preamp but would like to know if any of you good people have any experience with either the Delano MC4 AL/V4 or Seymoud Duncan SMB-4A Dual Coil pickups. Both claim to be a good replacement vintage style pickup. Also interested to hear about good replacement bridges. Thank you.

    Even my regular Alder Sandberg TT is only 8lbs so very easy on the bodily particles.

    Never had any problems with it myself. The occasional string does pop out every so often but adjustment wise never had any intonation issues. A bit like Spector bridges really.

    These are Sadowsky knobs. There is a thread on here with sources to buy that are not in the USA:

    For sale is a brand new set of Sandberg steel wound strings that came off a new bass that I have just received, I believe that these are made by GHS. Essentially I forgot to request nickel strings at the time. They were put on the bass at the factory and then shipped to me. I played them for maybe 5 minutes to check everything was OK then took them straight off. Cut for a 4-in-line 34" scale bass. I think the gauges are 45-105 but I have no way to measure this. The other set Sandberg use are 40-100. £12 posted UK mainland Pics below. Packaging is not related to the contents, but it keeps the strings clean and safe.

    Plays beautifully, the neck is amazing. Sound wise very J bass. Picks are pretty hot so are wound down a mm or two lower than on a typical jazz bass. Still playing with the VVT set up to explore all the options, first impressions are extremely positive though.

    NBD Arrived this morning. It's basically an "if Geddy had visited Sandberg" bass. Satin body, the Black Label Pickups and passive VVT electrics. Nice and light at 8lbs too. Couldn't decide on pickguard so got a couple of spares...

    Hi folks Completely new and still in box as received from G4M. FYI the pic below is an identical one that I already own and use. Good quality and perfect for lumping a bass to rehearsals and gigs (remember them). Here is the link to the G4M website for the specs etc.: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Deluxe-Padded-Bass-Guitar-Gig-Bag-by-Gear4music/AAW £15 posted to UK mainland please.

    For sale is a black Gotoh 4-string bass bridge in excellent condition. I purchased it a short while back but never used so hopefully it will find a good home and be put to work! £30 posted UK mainland please. Couple of pics of the item.

    Hi folks For sale is this brand new East onboard preamp, this one: https://www.east-uk.com/product/uni-pre-5-knob/ It comes with the black knobs and is completely unused. I bought it from John a few months ago thinking that I'd put it in a particular bass but then decided to sell the bass. I have opened the box to peer inside but that is all. If you want any pics I'll happily provide some but they will be of the packed item in the box. These are £207.50 to by new so grab a bargain at £160 delivered to UK mainland which is c.25% off. Thanks for looking.

    Just received the exciting news that my new bass is in transit....

    Just relieved Dan of the burden of ownership of an effects pedal. It arrived super quickly, was exactly as described and Dan is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks very much for a smooth and easy deal.

    Are the pickup casings the same size on these?
  25. ead
    Maybe it's a bit lukewarm?
