    If only there was a high output bass with a P pickup and woofer ready to go.... Looks cool though!
  3. BassApprentice
    The thing is, they have the template for smaller body as they made the 481G for the guy in Kasabian. Would be far better tweaking that than shoehorning a short scale on to a full scale body.
  4. BassApprentice
    Whilst it's a cool and all, £750 for a bass with the same less electronics and hardware as the SUB range....
  5. BassApprentice
    Same - but as you say expected. Weren't going to be for everyone since Dart's tone is normally super compressed so the bass will sound very different in your hands vs his.

    And there's one for sale. Slight bit of profiteering but not really much you can do since you can't buy them new (as it stands)
  7. BassApprentice
    I realise I phrased that badly 😅 I meant what @martthebass said. The pickup changes seem to lean towards a more vintage sound, which you can get from any number of Fender basses at this price point but the build quality and finish of Sandberg is above them. So you'll happily spend a touch more on pickups.
  8. BassApprentice
    From reading here, it seems a few have changed pickups. Surely changing the pickups speaks volumes about the build quality and value of Sandberg versus other Fender shaped basses?

    Apologies if that came off as a negative, but it is true. I know as I'm one of them! 😂 I'll go in for a nosey, on a lunch break or the like and have zero intention of buying, but I'd still expect the people in the shop to perk up and have a wee chat.

    I worked in retail recently, specifically watches, so understand the niche/geeky clientele it can bring. I learnt that you have to appreciate those who are truly interested and will invariably just be in to browse and kill time, but at least have a quick chat with them. Yes, it takes you away from other tasks. Yes, it might not be a sale, but at some point it will be if you do the right thing. Timewasters can be annoying, and I can see that being a big problem in guitar shops, but customers keep the doors open.

    Think that's a good shout https://www.coololdguitars.shop/products/1997-fender-japan-pb62-62-reissue-precision-bass-ocean-turquoise-metallic

    Not to tempt anyone, but the purple one whilst being sold out, does say available on demand...😅 Might be worth a message to see what that means timeframe wise
  13. BassApprentice
    Not having much luck with basses just now! Hopefully you find a good one soon enough, such a faff having to return them.
  14. BassApprentice
    I know these things are very much down to specs and materials, but what sort of price range does he sit in? If I were to commission a bass, being able to support a local guy would be handy!
  15. BassApprentice
    As above - I am big Vulfpeck and all surrounding projects fan, but couldn't stomach those costs. As basic as they are, they do look cool. However, should you find it's not for you I'll politely take my spot at the front of the queue for first dibs 😂
