    Always said I hated PJs [NBD content]

    Couldn‘t stand them optically. Thought they were a lame compromise for those who couldn‘t decide between P and J. But then… Every rule needs an exception. Can‘t get any better than glossy cream white and tort!

    In praise of Sandberg‘s customer service

    Ok, bought a used 2012 Sandberg California I Fretless a few years ago which I dearly love. Also bought a used Sandberg gigbag to give it an appropriate home. Problem was, the zipper sliders bended and broke about the second time I seriously used them. No excess force applied, I swear. Happened...

    Pickup resistance off

    I have an old 1985 Japanese-made Washburn double-humbucker bass (B-40 actually), which I bought used some time ago. It turned out that, while the bridge PU sounds ok, the neck pickup is barely audible. The active electronics works as it should, so I checked the resistance: bridge PU reads 13k...

    Please help with pickup and potential short circuit problem

    I scored a 1985 Kasuga-made Washburn B-40EQ a few weeks ago. The bass has got two humbuckers w/ active electronics and a three-way pickup selector (garden variety one, nothing fancy with it). I noticed that only the bridge pickup was operational. The neck pickup seemed to work, but when soloed...

    This is what happens when a Ric and a P spend some quality time together (NBD)

    1982 Matsumoku-made Washburn Force-8. Slab body, Telecaster headstock, split-coil DiMarzios, sunburst with white binding and perloid pickguard. Aged but well taken care for. Who could ask for more. Don't even ask how she plays and sounds. Have been GASsing for one of these underrated beauties...

    It's all Dr. Cheese's fault (NBD inside)

    This thread of his caused a hefty GAS attack Real World U-Bass ... and when I came across this 2011 fretless U-Bass, you know how these things happen... I love it. So much fun to play. Glad I already have a Sandberg (NBD: 2012 Sandberg California Fretless), so no danger on this side, haha.

    NBD: 2012 Sandberg California Fretless

    Hi fellow-TBers, Following up on this thread Poll: Which fretless should I buy I nonchalantly chose to ignore the poll result and bought the Sandberg. Well, here she is. Felt at home with her immediately. Couldn't be happier. Will change the rounds against a set of TI flats I have at home...

    Poll: Which fretless should I buy

    Hi fellow TBers So, I'm in the market for a new fretless. Budget is give or take € 1000. Prerequisite is: no fret lines, so the usual suspects, like Fender J, Squier, Sire will be out. Also, I don't care for active basses. Main use for the bass will be an acoustic cover set. Currently I've...

    An object of sheer beauty

    Well not the guy, the Reverend... Pic taken @ St. Paul & The Broken Bones in Berlin, June 2015. Awesome show BTW. Audience and band had a terrific time.

    Presonus Blue Tube preamp - opinions please

    Heya all, could get one of these used for a reasonable price. Am currently playing a Zoom B3 into one to two active EV ZLX15 and the two channel Blue Tube would fit into that setup nicely to add some real tube grit. Did the search and opinions were basically positive, but I would appreciate, if...

    Set list from hell...

    So I answered to this classified looking for a bass player for a cover band, located 30 min drive out of town. We had mail contact, a phone call, everything going on very nicely. We agreed on an audition on Pentecost Monday, which is a public holiday over here in DE. I asked for a set list, so...
