Up for grabs is my 2009 Sandberg VM5 (1st generation). I just never seem to use it over my Bogarts and it is too good an instrument to not be used and for a new tribute project I need a 4 string P bass.... hence the trade preference. The bass is one of the earlier models with Delano pickups. Later Sandberg starting shipping them with their own brand of pups. 5 string 34" scale Weight is 4.8kg Black Alder body Rosewood fingerboard Maple neck Delano Precision /MM configuration Glockenklang Pre Hardware originally silver (some black hardware currently installed) The bass has quite a lot of mojo and it clearly has been used in 8 years, dings, dongs, scrapes, scratches all the things you would expect to see from a working instrument. It sounds really good and cuts through the mix like butter. Neck is somewhat of a halfway house between a P and J 5 string neck. Not overly slim, but no bat territory either. The bridge was changed at some stage (previous owner) to the newer version, which in essence still is an A style model. I acquired some black tuners and strap buttons that I think look really good, you would need to buy a black string retainer, knobs and bridge (GBP85-90 new in total) if you want to complete the transformation. I will include both the original and black hardware. Structurally the bass is sound, really no issues at all with neck, joints, fretboard, hardware or frets so it will deliver for ages before needing any further TLC. I should probably price this a little higher, but I would like to find it a new home and want to facilitate the transition to all black hardware a little too... it would look great. Price included shipping within Europe with neck detached. No case or bag. I would sell for the more than reasonable asking prico o.n.o. Trade value is £825, but that also is not fully set and depends on the total deal. So what would I trade against? I need a 4 string P bass or a PJ/PM ideally passive or with passive tone control. https://imgur.com/gallery/AGGgP

Price: £750, offers entertained, no PX. For sale is my fretless parts bass. It's a lovely bass and sounds great but, although the specs are pretty much what I've always wanted, the neck and body are just a bit big for my hands/arms and it's never quite sat right with me. Specs are: -Warmoth G5 1 piece Black Korina body in transparent purple with rear routed string through and Jazz pickup routing wiht a contoured heel. T5B bridge in black. -Warmorth Deluxe 5 Wenge/Ebony fretless neck with black Gotoh GB7 tuners, 24 fret extension and corian nut. 1 7/8" nut width. Side dots only. -Bartolini 59CBJD L1-LN1 jazz bass pickups -Bartolini 5.2AP Preamp - This is a relaly great pre with Active/Passive volume switch/knob, Hi/Lo Mid switch/knob, balance, treble and bass knobs. Bass was set up for me originally by Mansons guitars in Exeter. It's in full wokring order. Sadly there are two cosmetic blemishes on the back of the body. One is a pea sized chip in the finish near the lower horn, and the other are two parralel white marks ~1 cm long near the top contoured waist. Neither are visible whilst playing. I'll throw in an old hiscox hard case with the bass.

It's a superb cab. It sounds fantastic on its own. It should be loud enough when matched to a reasonable power head to cope with a pop band with no trouble at all. The MB lm2/3 would be fine.

This is Rolls-Royce at moped pricing. I own AER AMP THREE and tried the bassic prior to buying the 3. It is an excellent combo but a little larger than I needed. Can’t fathom why this did not sell on Day 1, other than perhaps lack of familiarity with the brand. If you are on the fence and considering this combo, grab this bargain pdq!

TheGreek you escaped!!!! haha

General better build quality, neck thru and sounds better. I also own the bolt on version. Neck thru version retailed at £1299

I remember seeing Sami Yaffa of Hanoi Rocks using one of these and it looked soooooo exotic, have a bump for a great looking bass.
