The bass is in Bristol – apologies for not mentioning that in the ad.

£750 Possible trade in a 34" Sandberg bass (light weight).

re. trades - I actually would consider most 34" scale Sandberg basses but any trade would need to be light weight (they often are).

I keep coming back to this fabulous looking bass, just cos it's awesome really and it is the 5 string black version of my 4 string white. I've not played it obviously, but I'd lay a fair amount of money it's an absolute beast of a bass. The only thing that's stopping me is that, as age creeps on, my hands aren't what they were. My go to 5 is a custom shorter scale which I am fully synced with. If I was 10 years younger, I would have snapped this beauty up. In fact, I can't really understand why it hasn't sold yet.
