    Yes and the sound degrades rather than going off. It may be crackly and/or lower output. When I buy an active bass I pretty much always change the battery and write the date on it. I then change batteries on my birthday each year.

    I concur, Sandberg are right up there with Spector in terms of customer service.

    Legends (Korea) mostly bolt on although there are a couple of NT models. Legend electronics slightly more basic. Euro are sort of USA lite models. All NT (I think), do not have the Haz preamps like the US models. Probably worth checking the Spector website for more details.

    Yeah, plenty of them but few doing their own material even if it is in a Rush styleee.

    I use the long scale sets as that gives me the tension I prefer. Would the short scale actually be long enough? I have, on occasion, bought a bunch of D'Addario singles to get a lighter weight set that are 40/55/75/100 compared with the 170BTs that are 45/60/80/107.

    Same here, with the honorable exception that I like the D'Addarion EXL170BT set.

    They only made 50 of the '77 version according to PJ Rubal. He's getting the final production numbers for the '79 for me at some point.

    Whilst I don't have any proper tools to measure, I have just had a good look at them side by side and can feel no noticeable difference between the two. Both necks are delightful

    Just discovered YYNOT. Aside from doing pretty decent Rush covers they have a couple of CDs of original material. CLearly influenced by Rush but a good listen. Great bass tone too.

    I take copious pictures of the bass and also at various stages of the packing process. No idea why just seems like a good idea to me.

    Responded.

    For sale is this chorus pedal that I bought new and then has pretty much sat in its box. Having a mini clear-out so hopefully somebody will find a good home for this pedal. It's built like a tank so very usable in the presence of drunk punters (and drummers). Box and instruction leaflet also in excellent condition. The grey colour has proved quite difficult to photograph in the murk today but I'll try to get some more pics when the weather improves. £30 please. This includes Recorded delivery to the mainland UK.

    No but a good idea, thanks.

    Hopeful bump.

    Of the Fender catalogue my favs have been: MIJ Geddy MIJ 65RI (but hard to find), 62RIs also excellent Preloved American Standard

    I really liked it and would love to have it back if I could find it. I had to sell a bunch of basses a year or so back as we had a bit of a family situation requiring some rapid fund-raising. The Limelight was one plus I had to sell a couple of nice Sandbergs at the same time. I've been thinking hard about comissioning another identical one. But I rather liked the fact it was one of a kind. Here's the link: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-custom-00208/

    Nurse, @DiMarco hasn't been taking his medication. Anyway for me it would be: My Limelight Geddy Lee replica (I love to track this down but so far unsuccessful A US Spector maybe an NS-2 or a Forte 4 Curious about the US Michael Tobias basses

    Limelight built me a Geddy replica using loads of pics of his bass and I got an extra pearl p/g with it.

    So far I'm really impressed with the bass, the neck is super nice to play with the whole bass having an open pore satin finish. I've played it mostly in passive mode so far but had a quick twiddle with the preamp and that seems very flexible. I certainly wouldn't call it polite as you can dial some pretty aggresive tones in. Now that I have once again sold my soul I'm also thinking of getting one of the Geddy YYZ pedals that seem quite fun.

    Cort A5 through neck in a last ditch attempt to play a 5er

    I too succumbed despite selling three basses and think I was OK with that. I bought a bass from here this week. Cork's out the bottle now I guess.
  22. ead
    Cheers, but even Geddy played a 4-string bass.

    For sale is my Barefaced Super Compact. I also have a BF Big Baby T up for sale and will keep whichever one is less popular. The cab is is excellent overall condition, no major dings or dents that I can see. The cab has been gigged but you would be hard pressed to know that, great sounding cab.. Now sold thanks for all the interest.
  24. ead
    Almost what I'm dreaming of, but I'm heading towards a more Geddy look with a parchment p/g

    I would try Mark at Classic and Cool. He has always given me the best prices for builds as is a Sandberg agent. He always has a few in stock too. https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sandberg-new-basses/
