You should'nt have worried did you see the tatty old Sandberg that Pinball bought with him ;)
Dont know why he bothered :rolleyes:

Haha! That Sandburg was my favourite instrument to play that day. :) But I wonder, did the tattiness help?

I noticed there weren't any pictures of it-too old and tatty. Never mind if it made everyone feel superior with there shiny basses thats a good thing :) The smartest thing about it was the case and I don't have that anymore!

Maybe I'll smarten it up with a lick of paint for the next one me-thinks!

If you happen to get bored of it in the meantime though... I'm only round the corner! Definitely beats all the Fender jazz's I've played which would actually put it at number 1 in all of the basses I've played.

APA, could you remind me which strings were on one of your fretlesses that I tried? Were they GHS ground wounds? i.e. these: http://www.ghsstrings.com/strings/bass/brite-flats-1 and do you know of anywhere that will sell them cheap? Ta! I want to put some on my Overwater as they were really nice to play (or that could have been your bass, either way I wanna give them a go!)

Ah well that depends on which one you played :blink:

I seem to remember us talking about the ones on the 4 string dark green one? In which case yes they are GHS Brite flats. I got them of ebay: Paul Comerford

The ones on the 5 string Antiga were Rotosound 77 Jazz Flats

Hope that helps :)

Wow thanks, I knew you rated it high but thats amazing. I have to say that also rate it up there.

It almost wasn't mine after the meeting as Captain Rumble bought the case it was in and thought the guitar may be included-nice try!

All joking aside that UMBO was very nice to play and did its own thing on the jazz tone I just dont get the "lets attack it with a sander" thing :rolleyes: but hey eye of the beholder and all that.
For me john's blue P was just so lush :gas: and I know why Jerry raves about that Hamer :gas:

Lots there to admire, the Blue P hit the spot for me, as did the Leviinson. Your Sandberg was great Captain, the Hamer sounded massive, the Yamaha was nice and the fretless were all were gorgeous, the overwater and your Squire-Ithe list goes on. don't think I played an instrument I didn't like.
My only regret is that I didn't get to the corner to try the Fenderbird or Joes basses

First chance I've had to log on since Sunday - a very enjoyable afternoon had by all I think! Cheers to John & Keith for organising the day.

Nice to put names to faces!

OOh forgot about the Ricky, my first chance to try one and I was impressed. I now understand the attraction. Thanks for bringing it along

Well, as a result of playing Tommys Stingray at the bash, I'm a Ray convert. The next day I bought a Ray 5 string fretless.
