As a fellow lefty, if I was after a Sterling I'd grab it. It will be hard to find another one anywhere, and you're only looking at a slight increase in cost and some delay in delivery compared to pre Brexit. It sounds like Thomann's post sales service is still good if there are problems.

I do like this freewheeling jazz version of Hey Jude:

I has assumed you could order spare parts from any Sandberg dealer. Is that not the case?

I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with my iPad Pro. It’s bus powered but doesn’t seem to drain the iPad battery too much.

It’s an original Dimension from around 2003 or so. They reused the name.

That looks very like a WD Music bridge I fitted to a Fender about 15 years ago, except mine was chrome. Probably this one, mysteriously not listed on wdmusic.co.uk though https://www.wdmusic.com/standard-4-string-bass-bridge-details.html

That is the Gotoh vintage bridge, which is a bit more substantial than the old Fender bridges. Look at the thickness of the plate.

Same serial number too. I don’t think it’s just appeared at the Bass Gallery either, if you sort by Date Added it’s not up the top

They seem to have gone backwards on worldwide availability in recent years. I've been after a lefty Stingray Special but they're US only, and I've only got vague statements about maybe offering them in the future from EBMM customer services. You could try asking Strings and Things, the UK importer. Is it the rosewood that's illegal? The CITES musical instrument exemption comes into force on Dec 14th in the EU and is already applied for US exports, so you'll be OK then. Until Jan 1st anyway!

When I saw "NBD Marathon" I assumed it was going to be an old Shergold.

Looking closely at the picture, does it have some mild ageing done? It's not my thing but their relicing options seem to be very well done.

Agree with this. They are Plek'd at the factory. Mine is the best playing guitar of any kind that I have owned. I had a problem with a bridge saddle, and Holger replied very apologetically and sent me two spare saddles.

The Minutemen's One Reporter's Opinion is about Mike Watt:

I don't think you can get a V Superlight off the shelf, it would have to be a custom order. Maybe this standard VS is worth investigating? https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/sandberg-california-vs-4-high-gloss-metallic-red-maple-black-dots

Agreed, I bought a used Sandberg TM5 earlier this year for a grand and it is superb. Probably the best playing bass I’ve ever owned.

I followed the instructions under Can I have a refund, it says "If this is the case, please track your order and make your request via the contact form and select My event has significantly changed, what are my options?" Only the automated response so far but they do say refunds are available for date changes so I am confident.

I applied for a refund from See. https://support.seetickets.com says "The only time we would offer a refund is if the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the event are significantly changed after an order is placed (significant changes being a change of headline act (concerts only) or venue)" I told them I was unable to attend any rescheduled gig. I've had an acknowledgement and await further info.

If you got your ticket from seetickets, they offer refunds if the date of an event has changed, so I don't see why you can't get one.

Yes, they’d already announced before this year’s planned UK shows that JG wouldn’t be playing, but without PJ there’ll be no original members on the rescheduled shows. I’ll be trying to get a refund, sadly.

It’s a bit cheeky to charge an extra few hundred dollars to leave out the preamp and controls!

Yes, definitely an fairly early Custom, although it has the two piece output socket instead of the Pro’s single chrome casting. I wonder if the black finish is original? Good price by recent standards.

I like my Mono but if the OP doesn’t leave the house the Thomann one will be great. A friend has the guitar version and loves it.

I must have missed the OC-4
