Sandberg Ken Taylor

Here are some tones of this pretty cool little bass.
This particular model is a custom version with quartersawn vintage tinted neck, maple fretboard and alder body.
Action is set very low (a bit too low actually), with 100-80-60-40 aged Elixir strings and the settings you can hear are the following
- single coil, both pickups, passive mode (kind of JB like)
- dual coil, bridge PU, active with some mid boost (duck sound)
- dual coil, neck PU, passive mode (woody sound)
- dual coil, both PU, mid scoop, treble&bass boost (sorry I forgot to correct the volume for this slap part).

Alors, est-elle très différente par rapport à la première (blanche / touche ébène?)

[kascollet]

@DolganoFF : non, pas des masses (autant que je me souvienne). Le feeling de la touche vernie est moins soyeux que celui de l'ébène et elle pèse un peu plus lourd que l'autre (3,9kg).

Je ne vois pas de nuance sonore.

Le manche de celle-ci est encore meilleur par contre, et me rappelle clairement les qualités et la géométrie de mes ex Vigier Excess. Action à tomber par terre, bords de touche bien ronds, frette 0 ajustée, coupe sur pur quartier, je me suis pas fourvoyé en la dénichant celle là.

Great bass! And great playing! Did you sell your Peavey Cirrus to get this or do you still have it with the Thumb BO BN 5?

[kascollet]

@lasteffect I traded the Thumb for this Sandberg (the wide neck was just terrible !).

Getting rid of y beloved Cirrus is absolutely out of the question : every other fiver I've had instantly got smashed by the Peavey (that's why I've mostly tested 4 string basses those last months).

@kascollet So... How long til you're back in the Wick Club again? Any Wicks you wanting back or wanting to try?

Also, are there any non-wick basses you're looking into to try?

I must say, I'd love to try a Wal or Ken Smith out... but right now, my Streamer Stage 2 fretless 5er and Thumb NT 5er keep me as happy as my Ric 4003 does. :D

[kascollet]

@lasteffect : well, after having had 18 Wicks, I think I'm done with them, but you never know ! I've yet to discover the SS2 and the Katana.
