Oooh...... -
Haha! Hadn't clocked the non reverse p before, but know you say it I realise I know you from the Sandberg players group on fb too! It's a great pickup combination, I used to have an old Cali vm and tonally it was possibly the best I've had.
-
VERY nice collection Ead! Do you tend to favour one, and if so which? I'm STILL contemplating another..... can't justify it really, but y'know...
-
Thanks for your replies guys, looks like I'm headed to Ruislip in the morning then! It's gonna be a long day...... But great hopefully!
-
Haven't checked, but I'm assuming there's parking at Olympia? Also, does anyone take a bass with them or not?
-
Arrrggghhh! I've been looking for this thread for ages and only just found it! Looking forward to meeting any of you guys that are there, I'm going on Sunday. Weird question maybe, but is anyone taking a bass?
-
Omg, I wanted one of these so badly when I first saw them! Gorgeous bass, GLWTS.
-
Dude! I can't believe this is still here! I'm gassing for a jazz with a maple board too...... Temptation......
-
Hi Norwood, sorry for the delay getting back to you. Do you have any other pictures available? Thanks.
-
Hi there! What is the weight please, and where are you based? Thanks

[quote name='tricky' timestamp='1479769000' post='3179213'] [attachment=232497:TM4 Front.jpg] Not had this long - it's my first sandberg but won't be my last. [attachment=232498:13962870_1197371340314035_8120322261634799421_o.jpg] [/quote] Very nice mate, and quite unusual! I'm trying to talk myself out of ordering another one at the moment......

Now sold, thanks folks. 😀 👍 -
Bump! Offers welcome
-
Thanks BB! Certainly is a LOT of bass for the money, feels and sounds like a far more expensive instrument, and definitely got that familiar sandberg feel.

Pics added.

Apologies folks, for some reason the uploaded won't work at the moment, will add pics as soon as I can.

Hi guys! Selling my Cort Arona 5, which I bought last year. These are really superb instruments for the money, the neck feels fantastic, and they sound great. The result of a collaboration between Cort and highly respected German hand made bass manufacturer Sandberg. They are designed by Sandberg, and built by Cort. Featuring a swamp ash body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, Sandberg hardware, Delano Desonic J/Mm pickups, and two band eq with passive bypass. These seem to be becoming quite hard to come across now, which is a shame because they're excellent basses. Although I bought it as a backup, thankfully I've never needed to use it on a gig, so pretty much just been used for home practice. It's in very good condition, there's a very slight shiny patch above the neck pickup from my thumb, and a ding just inside the curve of the top horn, but otherwise superb. Selling because it just doesn't get used much, and I could do with freeing up the cash. It doesn't come with a gigbag or case. Preferably buyer to collect, but I can fairly easily arrange a courier at the buyers cost. Thanks for looking! Let me know if you have any questions.

Definitely speak to the guys at sandberg service, they're great! They've posted me parts before. Contact [email protected] The pickups probably are original, they've been using their own pickups on most of the range for quite a while now, but do still use Delano's on some models. Way back, they were pretty much all Delano. Don't forget that all Sandbergs are essentially made to order, so they can vary. Most common pickups are Sandberg's own, Delano or Haussel, but you could have anything in theory.

Gorgeous bass, wish I had the money to take it off you! I've lusted after a Roscoe for years...... GLWTS, it's a great buy for someone.
-
Amazing basses! If it were a 5 I'd be very interested. The necks on these are incredible, as is the build quality and tone. GLWTS mate, a great buy for someone there!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1466192577' post='3074091'] If I had only one bass, it would be a Stingray. While a Jazz with its two pickups could arguably be more 'versatile'... a Stingray is not exactly a one trick pony. You can get a wide range of sounds out of a Stingray. It's not just changing pickups, but the EQ and let's not forget the style you play in. You can make a Stingray sit back in the mix or be prominent and cutting, or anything you want. If you *need* a typical two-pickups-on-full-Jazz sound... well, no, the Stingray doesn't make that sound. It doesn't sound like a P if you need that specific sound. But can it sound right for any style? Yes, you can make it sound right. For me, the Stingray sounds great and I don't have problems fitting into any band with it. It feels just right too. That's why it's my favourite bass. If I wanted versatile I'd have kept the L2000 with its two pickups and many switches, or the Warwick Corvette $$ with even more options. But the truth is, to me, the Stingray sounds better than any of the multitude of sounds those two basses can make. So... which is more versatile in the end? The Stingray, for me, as it works for me everywhere. [/quote] Very well put.

I was thinking maybe this..... Kinda want something that could look acceptable in any scenario.
