Members REMUS Posted November 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Congrats You're such a bass whore now! How many do you have? Just the two, I traded my peavey g bass and spector rex brown for the Sandberg, i'm thinking hard about buying the g bass back as well! Right now I have a natural 4 string 'ray in my sights and thats all the extent of my bass GAS until the Bongo 6 is released in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 not really in love with the all-white thingy, but i'd totally nail it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Even though I generally prefer natural headstocks on maple necks with maple-fingerboards, I'm totally digging the painted headstock! How's she sound? Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's she sound? Emre It's quite incredible really, it doesn't sound like the clips on the Lakland website. I'm deferring a review of the Sandberg and Lakland until my 700RB-II arrives, because the crate powerblock i've got at the moment... can't really handle either bass properly. The pre-amp gives huge tonal variation, it's a bit weird getting used to double stacked pots when making fine adjustments... but rest assured, this baby girl ain't going no were for a long time! I feel I have also bonded with this bass quicker and to a greater extent than the Sandberg, if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Perfessor Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Nice color, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members REMUS Posted November 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Nice color, too. It's kind of an off-white as you can see, it's not quite cream and it's not quite white. I like the subtle contrast with the pick guard allot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hawkeye Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 I feel I have also bonded with this bass quicker and to a greater extent than the Sandberg, if that makes sense Totally, some instruments just "speak" to you and are responsive in a way that others aren't. I don't pretend to understand it, but I have experienced it. That bond I believe also translates into creativity. Comfort is good. By the way, besides the obvious differences like shape of body, P/Ups etc. What are the major tonal differences between the DJ and the Osborne?

Members REMUS Posted November 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes a huge difference, my bass only touches on a vintage tone. It is modern in every sense of the word in comparison the JO, so if you like the tone of a Modulus VJ a 75 or 62 reissue fender then the JO is for you. Although it is hard to compare, because it is a long way from a standard DJ... Like I said before though, the amp i'm using at the moment is terrible for reviewing the tone of any bass... it clips at anything above practice volume. One thing I have noticed about the DJ is that the neck isn't as well finished as the Sandberg, there is more resistance and doesn't "feel" as nice... it is also allot lighter then the Sandberg, i'm guessing it weighs in at maybe.. 8lbs?

Members Hawkeye Posted November 21, 2007 Members Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'll have to try out both at Club Bass here in T.O. and get a sense of the differences. I think Fender has by far the nicest satin finish on the back of their necks but I find the Skylines aren't too bad in comparison. My Skyline 55-01 has "glossed up" a little on the back of the neck now that I've had it for a few years and feels slick and easy to move around on. I think you'll find that the finish kind of "breaks in" and is easier to play with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
