  1. Mine was about that, maybe slightly less.
  2. @ped Over the years I've accumulated a few feedback threads (you'd think ead would be easy enough to type). Is it possible to get these combined into one thread to rule them all?
  3. I swapped the Delano's in my Sandberg TT for a set of Bartolini B-Axis pickups. Not single coils but nice warm sounding pickups with that bit of growl too.
  4. Jack has made me a few exellent p/gs.
  5. They're only worth what somebody will pay for them. Personally I'm highly delighted with mine but as ever YMMV.
  6. String choice aside, I can't hear a great deal of difference between Rosewood and Maple fretboards in a band context.
  7. I've been reading this thread with interest as I am in the same place more or less as the OP. Without boring everybody with my deliberations I clicked Buy on a Basswitch Sonic Spark too so fingers crossed.
  8. I had one of these and it was a very nice bass to play. Unrivalled value for money. Slightly differnt headstock on mine but no idea in what order they were produced (sorry).
  9. I've left the bridge cover on my '66.
  10. You could put a post on here (and maybe the Ric forum?), explain there's a lead time and see? Worth doing a design registration if you're serious about it though. Any idea what it's likely to cost? I sold my Ric 'cause I couldn't get on with exactly this issue and in those day additive manufacturing hadn't been invented. Actually not strictly true it was was called rapid prototyping then and still very costly for hobbyists.
  11. Great job there. Methinks you should stick a post on the f/sale board for these...
  12. I recently swapped out the Delano pickups in my Sandberg Cali II TT with some Bartolini B-Axis items. Picked them uo pre-loved from Bass Direct for not much at all and they are an interesting alternative to singlr coils. I know it's hardly a bitsa but just wanted to mention the pickups.
  13. I would certainly recommend Limelight. They made me a great copy of Geddy's famous J bass down to the minor blemishes. I would recommend looking for 'real' old basses and ask them to copy it. Andy Baxter basses is a good resource for pics and ideas.
  14. I've been trying to find some info online about the contraol layout. Please could you expalin what the various knobs do as I cannot find a diagramme online.
  15. Deffo ACG. You might well have a bit of change too.
  16. We're just working up Eleanore (The Turtles) and a rock version of Be My Baby. Not sure if Id'd class either as 'forgotten' though.
  17. Like most things they are only worth what folk are prepared to pay for them.
  18. Does this mean we all own pre-Korg Spectors atm?
  19. The bass has landed safely. It is like new, I can't find a mark on it. Action adjusted, Tonepump wound back a little and plugged in. Goodness what a great bass. Looking forward to using this one with the band (s) rather a lot. I'll do more pictures when the light is good, but here's another from the ebay advert to keep you going...
  20. The guitarist in Anathema wears headphones on stage.
  21. I'm in Chorley and have a number of P basses (only 2 of which are Fenders). You would be most welcome to come and try my basses and A/B to yours if you wish.
  22. Not yet Paul. The bass will be shipped on Monday so hopefully with me on Tuesday or Wednesday.
  23. I'm still experimenting. The one above has D'Addario EXL160BTs fitted, however the new will have a lighter set made up of singles I think.
