I'll take it please if still available. Have PM'd

[quote name='bassface2k10' timestamp='1319889260' post='1419725'] Have been asked how much it weighs, on the bathroom scales it's [b]6kg which =[/b] [b]13 lbs 3.6 oz[/b] [/quote] MikeH will be somewhat relieved to learn that my kitchen scales register a featherweight 10lb 13oz.... hope mine are more accurate than Chris's. It feels about the same weight, in my hands at least, as a Les Paul I have which is about 10.5 lbs as well. Looking forward to picking up the cab tomorrow Mike. Will have your new Sandberg JM4 in the back of the car as an added bonus

PM'd

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1319016383' post='1408831'] The battery box on the back does give it away somewhat [/quote] Oops. Reminds me of... "How do you make a bass player's eyes light up?" Shine a torch in his ear

active or passive?

What is the cab impedance? Also, the condition?

Nice. Any chance of more pics - especially the back? I've heard these can vary quite a bit. Also, do you know the weight?

I must stop looking at this bass..... Single coils or humbucking?

Looked around a bit myself too. Found this: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9072526"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9072526[/url] Seems the CIJs have both Alder and Basswood versions - and there are other differences (p/ups, bridge) - at least for the model year the guy on this thread is talking about. Don't suppose you can tell from the other spec differences mentioned on this thread? Is the model number evident anywhere? Do you know what a 'spiral' bridge is - and can you tell if p/ups are US?

Is the body Alder on these - or something more nondescript? Also, do you know the weight? cheers, JC

[quote name='snaps' post='1053077' date='Dec 9 2010, 05:24 PM']Good idea! I'll write to him. but it may cause problems with spacing the pic ? I measured it is 20mm.[/quote] Hope you get it sorted - it would be a great shame to say goodbye to such a nice bass over something that is easily fixed. When I measured my bridge to make sure I got the correct size to change, I was advised to ensure that I measured from string centre to string centre (not to the outside edges of strings, which of course would add the width of the string to the measurement). Good luck!

Of course, Snaps, if the reason you're trading is purely down to string spacing at the bridge - why not give Kevin a call and get hold of a replacement bridge - though beware the alignment issue I've mentioned above if you stray from 19mm. It's not a big issue, but worth bearing in mind.

[quote name='Apothem' post='1052460' date='Dec 9 2010, 09:52 AM']Oh!! Good to know A couple of years ago in NYC I visited Roger's workshop in Brooklyn and asked Kevin Drexler (Roger's aide) about tighter spacing for a 4 (I used to have a NYC 4 from the '90s with the old Schaller bridge, where you could choose your preferred spacing). He told me that was not a possibility (I suppose because of contractual obligations with the current bridges supplier....) Nice one anyway mate [/quote] I'd have to agree with Apothem above about standard spacing (5 - 19mm, 4 - 20mm). Also, with more recent Sadowskys, you definitely can swap the bridge for different string spacing. At least this is certainly true of NYC instruments, but I cannot vouch 100% for Metros. I have a 2009 build NYC 5 that I acquired s/h, which had an 18mm bridge when I got it. Kevin supplied me with a 'standard' 19mm replacement, which is now on the bass (anyone out there want to buy an 18mm bridge in chrome?). The base plate for the two bridges is identical - the screw holes all lined up perfectly - and now I have the 19mm version fitted, the strings also line up perfectly with the pole pieces on the pups and are better aligned to the edge of the neck too. When the 18mm bridge was fitted, the strings didn't line up perfectly, which affected the sound slightly. So I'm surprised to hear that this J5 has a 20mm bridge because the pics seem to show the strings also lined up perfectly to the pup poles.... I also have a Metro J4 (2008) and that is definitely spaced at 20mm. Anyways.... good luck with the trade. That Ash 5 with the black hardware and ebony f/board is one of the nicest looking Sadowskys I've seen.

Do you have the rack ears with the amp?
