The Nighthawk basses look the business

Agreed but it needs a black/ebony fret board to finish it.

Concur. The fingerboard would of course be fretless with no lines. Tape wound Labellas to finish it off nicely.

If you want to hear my Basic Ken Taylor, here's a link to some sample tracks I did with Hereford Soul Choir a little while ago:

Hey guys.

I'm a new Sandberg owner. A MarloweDK is white. A great bass

Very nice Christian! I have not seen one of these before, I thought the MarloweDK was only available in the fiesta red colour with the graphic. What is the 12th fret inlay?

Hope you enjoy it!

I guess you get what color you want! When I played the Marlowe model I really liked it but not the color :) The inlay says AM which are initials for my daughter Asta Marie. I also made my album titel after her "[url="http://audioscapers.bandcamp.com/album/after-am"]After AM[/url]"

When I play gigs far from home she will always be on my bass :)

Oh guys....... I've got GAS BIG TIME again! Trying to figure out what I can sell..... might advertise my black KT5 again....

Here's the plan:

Cherry burst Basic 5
Maple neck with pain maple headstock
Chrome hardware
White pearl pickguard (and maybe a trans one too)
A WHITE pickup!

What do you reckon? :D

My baby! I loved that bass, my first Sandberg. If I hadn't moved permanently to 5ers I would've never parted with it.... In fact, that's been another consideration for a new bass: exactly the same but a 5er!

How are you enjoying it? :D

Posted

It's great! Very pleased with it. Nice low action with no fret buzz. I just wish I could do it justice.

I am please you moved to 5s. :)

I believe it did Stephen proud too!

Best purchase I`ve made.

That bass changed everything for me, I never thought I would find something that suited me so well. It began my love affair with sandberg (I've had 5 now), and led to me selling everything else!

Glad you're enjoying it, and even though you say you're not doing it justice, having an instrument that you enjoy and feels great week inspire you to play more and improve yourself more than anything else!

Glad it's stayed within the BC community! :D
