"Thank you Garry & Steve from the bottom of my heart for your quick and professional attention last weekend. At 2pm Saturday my Double Bass decided to breakdown and pop an E string. Panic stations set in, had no spare strings and was due to head down to The Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London to play with Mishaped Pearls, as invited by Tom Robinson's Radio 6 introducing show live! Phoned Steve and within minutes not days Garry was on the phone saying I'm stuck in traffic on the M25 I'll turn around head back to Sible Hedingham and if we can't get it sorted out I'll let you use my own double bass. Sure enough,
when I got to Sandarac HQ my sound post had dropped out of place. Garry zipped up his Rubner DB and I was back in Suffolk within the hour with his bass. I would highly recommend the service, skill and professional attention to all working musicians. Stuff like that doesn't happen everyday and I wish them all best!!!" Marty Prior - Bass Player & Composer
"Sandarac's consultation process, combined with the natural quality of their materials, results in basses with an even, deep tone with lots of sustain.
And without the wolf notes normally associated playing beyond 6th position these basses are a pleasure to practise on and immediately opened my own playing to a wider range of tonal possibilities" - Darren Taylor, bass player, Courtney Pine Band (pictured right)
A Bulgarian hand crafted string bass made to order and customised in the UK to the player's specific needs. Sounds good? It is and you won't have to take out a second mortgage. Made out of locally sourced tone woods kiln dried in the traditional manner, this very pretty instrument comes in three quarter size as well as full size with a variety of finishes.
It has a warm 'woody' but lively timbre particularly in the lower register and is well balanced across the full range with excellent sustain and harmonic response. Playing is a pleasure, the neck is neither too deep nor too wide and there aren't any rough edges underneath the fingerboard. Indeed, the craftsmanship of this bass is remarkable with beautifully carved swell back, ebony detailing to the heel of the neck and a nicely fluted ebony tailpiece. Topped by German-made individual machine heads, French bridge, and tailed by a very solid brass threaded rubber foot, this bass has both character and class. - Dave Holgate. Jazzwise - View Review
