They still have it up for sale online at this moment having forgotten to remove it from the in-stock page! I'd made the visit to try the Masterpiece basses they had in but really liked the TT4 deluxe when I tried it. A 2 pickup lightweight to complement my VS4 for 3 set gigs was the requirement but it has become my primary bass due to its versatility. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_TT4_QMT.html It's lightweight mahogany with a birds-eye maple top, passive and is perfectly balanced tonally and does a surprisingly good P tone. It can also sound a bit Gibson-ish at certain pickup blend positions. I've added the extra weight of a black pickguard ! I did see that one on the site. Looks lovely. I'm glad I didn't travel to try it out myself - if it's not there anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Have you got a photo with the pick guard on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opticaleye Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) The pickguard is removable. The screws are just heads glued to the guard. Edited September 17, 2018 by Opticaleye words 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Doesn't Shuker do a super duper lightweight JJ Burnell P bass? May be worth a looksie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Dunno about Shuker. Is it chambered or something of the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
