Figure I'm gonna have to post my current Sandberg:

That is infinitely rad.

I've tried two different German Warwicks. One is my 2006 Corvette Standard Fretless (bubinga body, ovangkol neck, ebony board, passive MEC's) and it has a very thick but also very round neck. Fairly flat at the back but it has very round shoulders. Somewhat like a thick C. The other one is a...

Does anyone know the frequencies of the 3-band Sandberg preamp?

Thanks for the response. So far the EBS Reidmar looks really good for the price. I might look into a Genz Benz Shuttle as well. I'm on a bit of a budget, so Mesa and Aguilar stuff is mostly out of the question. I tried a Gallien Krueger amp once, which I didn't really like. The TC Electronic...

Anyone else?

I'll look into the Hartke, though the EBS Reidmar looks like it's great for me. All the reviews and talk I've seen of it say that it's insanely loud for 250 watts, and it's ridiculously cheap here in Scandinavia (€480, roughly). Also I play my fretless 90% of the time, strung with...

So I've started playing bass again after learning music theory and getting into fusion jazz (originally a death metal guitarist). And now I need a decent amp for gigging and rehearsal. I don't know much about different amp brand "signature" tones, but the tone I'm going for is a really deep and...

Wow, thanks for the great response - exactly what I was looking for! It seems that I should go for a P/MM (how odd that bass pickup abbreviation goes the opposite direction of guitar, haha!) then. I like the thought of a very deep and growly bass tone. Can I use a preamp with a regular set of...

I get most of that from my guitar knowledge. :) The thing I'm interested in is just basically knowing stuff like: which pickup style is best suited for slap (and in what position!?)? Which one do people use for distorted death metal tones? What's the most common funk-style pickup? I know I...

Hello fellas, new guy here! I'm mainly a guitarist, but I have played bass far longer. While I'm a huge guitar gear nerd, it just occured to me a while ago that I know hardly anything about bass gear. I'm planning to make my own self-assembled bass soon, so now I need some info - mainly...
