It's a superb bass and the build quality and playability is better than pretty much any other bass I've owned. Just struggling with the extra string due to my hand/forearm injury from a while ago

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1204725' date='Apr 19 2011, 01:27 PM']As tempting as that is, it's on its way back to Bulgaria due to a trade that fell through so I won't have any trade bait. Ah well, nevermind eh? Truckstop edit: and I've just realised/remembered you already have one and are possibly being facetitious! [/quote] I was being serious. I had a potential modding idea

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1204670' date='Apr 19 2011, 12:44 PM']Oh my god, I want it!! Truckstop edit: but have no money[/quote] I'm willing to take a Sting Bass inpart payment

It is. I traded it for a jazz and was hoping it would fit the bill. Unfortunately not, so its up for sale at a (in my opinion) a more realistic price

Thanks for the PM's and enquiries. Just to clarify, it's a Custom Shop model not the standard run. I'm guessing this is due to the aged finish etc but am no expert!

I picked this up in a trade plus cash (from me) recently and it is a superb bass. It's a Sandberg PM5 Custom Shop in a gorgeous yellowed colour and has been sympathetically reliced. Build quality, playability and sounds are amazing and it has got to be one of the best put-together basses I've had in my mitts. The Delano pickups and preamp are superb and the range of tones available from the P Bass pickup and the MM pickup will surely cover everything you would need. I've measured the scale from nut to bridge and it's the same as my Fender P bass. Due to a hand/arm injury, I have problems playing a 5 string bass Weight-wise I would say it's 9lbs (ish) but can check later. The pickup blend pot is a bit scratchy and could probably due with resoldering or cleaning and I have taken this in to account with the price. Now traded

I bought 2 tickets for me and my Dad to go to the annual Lee Brilleaux memorial concert on 6th May at the Oysterfleet hotel, Canvey Island. Sadly due to work commitments I can't make it. This is the 15th or 16th annual concert and is a great day/night. The musicians are Feelgood's past and present as well as The Wilko Johnson band. The last few years have seen Norman Watt-Roy, Sparko and Dave Bronze pn bass! I paid £60 for these 2 tickets including a donation to the local Hospice and would like to make this back. There are only a few hundred tickets sold each year, so it's a pretty intimate gig. SOLD!

I've manage dto pick up another Fender (new Series) USA Jazz bass in a trade and wondered if anyone has any interesting trades to offer at all as I already have one of these. It's in superb condition, lightweight (C 8.5lbs) and plays beautifully. The colour is a gorgeous Sunburst/tortoise shell/rosewood. I have nothing in mind in particular by way of trades but I like Sandbergs (PM's) Fenders (US P basses, 5 string Jazzes), Musicman, Lakland (Bob Glaub, Duck, Hollowbody), double bass?.. Please PM me with any trade bait

If only this was a Double bass...

Bump for lower price

[quote name='ahpook' post='1160506' date='Mar 13 2011, 02:40 PM'] thanks for the advice about sorting the issues out...i think you folks may be right. i was hoping the (what i consider to be) low price would tempt people, but it seems not. time to take it down to the bass gallery i reckon.[/quote] Or sell it to me for £200

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1160471' date='Mar 13 2011, 01:57 PM']As an outsider I'd have to say that NOT getting the problems fixed and getting it set-up (mentioning that it needs a set-up indicates that 'something' needs to be done), could well hamper your sale at any price! I've no idea if £250 is a good or bad price for one these days (I had one when they first cane out and recall that £250 was about the going rate back then), but if the fixes are as cheap and easy as you say then getting them done could justify a couple of quid added onto your present sale price... otherwise potential buyers could be stroking their chin thinking; '£250 plus cost of new electrics, possibly inc pups, PLUS the cost of a set-up... could get expensive'! However, £275 for a fully sorted bass with no issues could be attractive. As I say I'm just playing 'Devil's Advocate' and looking at this as a neutral outsider; fear of the unknown is a sure way of folks keeping money in their wallets especially when times are hard. [/quote] Totally agree. Ive been looking at this thinking "if it was £50-60 cheaper I'd snap it up". I'd even brave Tottenham too
