nugget Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 When I heard you play I though you had THE perfect setup ! it sounded amazing, the sort of rounded true bass sound I'd love to have. DONT SELL ANYTHING unless its to me at a price I can afford.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 RE the Markbass stuff...yep, you do need it to do the gigs you do. The number of times I see a bass player turn up with a tiny rig and he thinks that from a volume POV he is covered..!! Sometimes he may well be, but others he is straining the c*** out of it and it really sounds like it as well. Enough voume in a rig is not the same as a great sound at all. Keep the MB.. even tho I am not a fan so much..but at least you have the full beans should you need it. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We do have funny ideas of downgrading and up grading. Past a certain point if the bass works then it works and it's price isn't really the same as it's value. One of greatest basses I have owned and really the only one I regret selling was a 1975 cimar jazz copy, cost me £70, worth not much more than that- but boy was it fun to play. I had a valenti for a while- lovely bass but not for me. For me the cimar was the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I am a believer in keeping kit that will be used and is fit for your needs. Over the past few years I have cut a lot of the fat by selling kit that was 'nice to have' and not necessarily being used for anything. The stuff I sold was the fruits of my labour that I aquired over many years and I was proud of my collection, but I sucked up my pride and was honest with myself. But, there is nothing wrong with collecting kit if you get enjoyment from it. I know someone that has never played outside of his bedroom for 20yrs and has a collection of 11 high end guitars and 4 high end amps. There is a fine line between being fanatical about your kit and over practicality. That line is in a different place from person to person.

I suppose when I think back over all the basses I've had (and ultimately not been completely happy with) before I found the Sandbergs, I guess I would be stupid to go back to anything else. If you fancy a night out to Hereford on Saturday, we're doing a Cider festival at the football ground which should be a good laugh! Only a fiver to get in too.
