If you can find a good deal on one, I think the Sandberg Lionel is pretty impossible to beat - super light, very comfy neck, great tone…I’d offer to sell you mine if I hadn’t literally sold it the other day I’ve also owned a U5 and loved it. My only problem was the lack of a forearm contour...

It’s a stunner! I still can’t believe such a lightweight bass can crank out the tones you get from this thing. I’ve crossed the short scale rubicon and it’s hard to imagine going back.

Never thought I’d sell this one…but I need a gig-worthy amp setup and mostly use humbucker-equipped basses these days. I may be biased, but I think these are the best short-scale P-basses you can buy. Super light (seriously: 5lbs, 8oz!!), but still brings the thump. The pickup runs hotter than...

Ah, gotcha - that makes sense.

Ha, he’s definitely not! No volume wars here.

Thank you so much for all of this! What do you think about a 4 OHM, 400 watt 115? If I’m understanding correctly, that would let me use all of the TH350’s power, as opposed to just 175 at 8.

That’s the dream…one day. Sticking to a one-amp setup for now. Long live the Boss LS-2, lol.

That is the nice part about just being bass/drums - only two pieces to contend with!

Thanks guys - this is super, super helpful! I’ve found that the Aguilar plays really well with my effects setup. I think I’ll look for a used TH500 and a 212 cab, will check out Markbass for sure. Any others I should look into?

This is super helpful - thanks! Realistically, I can only afford a single cab right now. I could stretch to the 500 and 212 if I sold some gear.

Gotcha. Can you break that down for me a little? This is all new to me, since I’ve always just played with smaller combos.

I’m playing in a two-piece rock band - lots of Royal Blood, White Stripes, etc - and currently putting together a rig for live shows. Our rehearsal space has an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 hooked up to a DB410 cab, and I love the tone. Right now, I’m thinking about getting a Tone Hammer 350 and...

PRICE DROP to $650 - something I want popped up and I want to get this thing moved! Just took this one in on a trade for a guitar I’ve had sitting around, but it’s just not for me - I’ve fully converted to short scale at this point. Let’s say $100 for shipping via UPS in a nice Sandberg soft...

Dropping the price to $1,000. Turns out I really just prefer short scales, so I’m parting with this baby. I bought it used and it had been pretty extensively modified by the previous owner - this includes: *Being refinished in translucent purple *The pickup/EQ being replaced with a Seymour...
