Reggaebass Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yesterday was a 2 new bass day for me, first , my custom Sandberg arrived which I ordered in mid December , and it’s far exceeded my expectations, it’s a one piece lightweight swamp ash body with ebony fingerboard and black hardware and the neck is by far the best I’ve ever played. I think because of the woods the sound is so resonant , even when not plugged in. When plugged in the eq really kicks. I was a bit concerned that it wouldn’t be bassy enough, I needn’t have worried , the bass control is huge, you really can play reggae on it😀 . IMO Sandbergs build quality is superb 🙂 The second is my first ever 5 string, it’s a Yamaha bb 415 wr , it’s fitted with half rounds, and the low B is so nice, it took me a few hours to get used to the extra string being there, and I muffed a few Basslines, but I think it will come 🙂 and I I really like the controls on this, especially the toggle switch, in P mode this thing really drops some serious bass. So I can now officially comment in the Sandberg thread 😂 and the Yamaha bb thread 😂. No doubt I’ll be hearing from @AndyTravis 😀 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
