Dominic. Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 is that one of those sticks that you put in the fire to make the fire change colors? Hadn't seen this post after you had edited it.

IntelligentAl Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hhhgngn Matthijs the wear on your basses is freakin gorgeous. Is it all from you or have they had previous owners? If it weren't for the headstock I'd have said you have the natural version of my bassist's Ibanez: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 He has a jazz pu in the bridge though The Sandberg is a relic'ed model, I think about 4 years old now. The Ibanez has proper roadwear since '83 but I've had it for about 4 years now. I love the wear and tear on it, also because it means I don't have to be overly careful with it.

Bentley Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 More Hi-Rez goodness. Oh lordy I'm jelly. How well does it play? They all sound the same to me anyway. /guitarist. Well I can't tell the diff between a Les Paul and a Strat so the bassist/guitarist ignorance coefficient balances out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I got it set up recently and it plays great. A bit heavy compared to my others perhaps (but my other basses are set up really low, so it's still no problem). Put some .50s on it for more b33f.

Bentley Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I got it set up recently and it plays great. A bit heavy compared to my others perhaps (but my other basses are set up really low, so it's still no problem). Legit. Also reminds me alot of the ATk line Ibanez currently makes Put some .50s on it for more b33f. DR 50-110s. Best evar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 You boost using an EQ pedal right? Would you also use the bass pre-amp? It depends on the bass. With my schecter, yeh, if I solo the bridge pickup I have to boost the bass loads on the pre-amp to compensate, but then on my new bass, it's fine with the pre-amp flat. Most of my tone is based on trying to keep a nice constant fat rumble in the low end, so if you can accomplish that with the bridge pickup, then when you start bringing out the high mids it's really powerful. I remember the first time I solo'd the bridge pickup on my schecter and it was so weak, it didn't try it again for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm using pre-amp a bit more lately, and I'm actually starting to like it. The Roadstar II doesn't have an active one though, but that one has plenty of low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 it's a sexy bass allright. I doubt I could manage with just a P pickup now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Might as well add the last bass too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 have you ever tried a 5 or a 6 Matt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yup, had a 5-string, but ended up using the B as a thumb rest... it's not for me I guess. The Sandberg does have a hipshot d-tuner but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 it all depends on what you're playing I suppose. If you didn't fancy the low B though I would deffinitely recommend trying a 5 with a high C instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Could try that out at some point, but if anything I'd say a 6 is a better buy then if it's for exploring purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 yeh, why not! You can get some pretty nice cheap 6ers. I got a Brice one from Rondo Music and I still love it. I think it was about £150 inc shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just think, you could Les Claypool properly with a 6er (providing its a fretless) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Les Claypool plays all sorts of basses, including 6 string fretted, which is what I play. There aren't many people who could Les Claypool properly, and i'm deffinitely not one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
