pineweasel Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 I’ve just read that online retailer Left for Dead is closing down. They have a couple of Sandbergs left with decent price reductions: https://www.leftfordead.rocks/leftybassguitars 3 Quote

LeftyJ Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Thomann have a killer Cyberweek deal on the Sadowsky Metroexpress Hybrid 5 fretless. I ordered mine on Monday and received it today: Sadowsky MetroExpress 21-5 Hyb BK FL LH – Thomann United Kingdom Thomann are still clearing their stock of the first series, as the new and improved series has been available for a while now. The one I got has a serial number dating it back to 2021. Not sure yet if this one has had all the initial QC issues fixed or if it's from before that, I'm still at work and have yet to plug it in. Issues were mostly electronics-related (noisy preamp, poor string-to-string output balance due to P pickup having two coils below the A-string - even if only one has pole pieces). 1 Quote

rasher80 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 @uk_lefty it really does.... its a YOB bass for me too which makes it very tempting! Quote

JottoSW1 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Westone Thunder 1 a . £250.00. Located in Kettering. Looks rather like the one I sold in 1993ish , sigh..... On F/B Marketplace (fwiw etc etc, but looks legit.) As I'm on gear abstinence thread I'm posting for my own ( vicarious ) benefit. 1 Quote
