ashevans09 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Mostly just crappy customer service. Here ya go: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/175787-lack-of-customer-service-in-uk-stores/page__p__1644975#entry1644975 [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1337424141' post='1659662'] Oh really, i must have missed that! Can you link me to a thread? Might save me some hassle..... The Basic should sell because it's a great bass, but I might have a problem if it hasn't sold in time to pay the balance! I've been talking to Session Music, and they've been really helpful. [/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietruszka Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was looking at some Sandbergs on Thomann, and I came across this little gem! http://www.thomann.de/gb/sandberg_custom_stripe_bass_fl.htm How much are kidneys these days? It's insane that more people don't stock them here in the UK. After all look at the positives; Very well made, light, excellent sound, excellent feel, and above all, very reasonably priced! I actually can't think of a negative. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No negatives I got to record through mine this weekend - both channels of my Mesa 400+ with a Sansamp GT2 between the bass and the high gain channel, into an Ampeg 810 with a room mic, close mic and DI and it sounded absolutely phenomenal. I've never been this happy with my bass tone. I was only playing simple lines - the songs needed simplicity - and it just dominated. Even pre mixing it sounded great . I'll post some sound samples when I get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Recently got a used Sandberg basic and I absolutly rate this bass! First bass I've had with a zero fret, and there is a distinct difference in open notes compared to normal non zero fret neck. The finish is immaculate, no fualts. I would compare the quality to Musicman basses, without a doubt, and it sounds killer. I don't think anyone would know in a blind test that it wasn't a thurough bred Stingray. My only real issues are with the pickguard not being cut very close to the pickup leaving a small gap, but still a cracking bass. It reminds me of everything I love about a Warwick double $$ corvette I had and a Stingray I had, super pleased. The used price was ridiulous for this bass aswell.
