minty fresh death

U.K based would be my preference if possible?

Can I get some recommendations of luthiers who can build a bass to my shape and spec?

Many thanks

Is this a 4 Ohm cab, i cant remember off the top of my head if they do one?

SOLD!

replied to pm's waiting on pending offers before I put it on ebay

Forgot to say, i'll also take p/x if it's something easy to move on like a fender/ampeg...etc

Price drop to 600

If this isn't sold by Sunday, it'll be going on ebay

The bass will be going up for auction soon on ebay, so if your thinking of making me an offer let me know

No way, small world!

Apparently not, single lane on the rise of a hill.

I am incandescent with rage, he hit me so hard it pushed my car backwards with the brakes on, his skid marks where immeasurably longer than mine... I really felt like bouncing his head off the bonnet when it happened and in retrospect I should have... at least I would have gotten some satisfaction out of it.

It means allot to me since it was my first high quality bass, i've had it for about 2 and half years it's my only bass and I would be keeping for sure it if life didn't keep screwing me over...

I bought it for 1200 from a local shop (mid wales music centre), with the extra matching head stock and more expensive silver leaf finish.

It's in literally perfect condition (the pick-guard had a protective skin on it in the pic below, there isn't any damage) and comes with the Sandberg gig bag which is also in immaculate condition as well, this bass was totally babied since I used a Warwick Jazzman JX5 for gigging/practice with my metal band.

If you've owned or played a Sandberg you must have some idea of the build quality and tone... so make me an offer around 650 (which is what I was recommended on this forum), worst I can say is a polite no!

I don't have an amp atm but I do still have my old SWR 6x10, so if you wanted to bring your amp to try it before you buy that's no problem at all. I live near Montgomery in Powys and I would be happy to meet there, or a bit further afield to do an exchange/guide you in if need be.

I've sold quite a few bits on here and i've only had one bad experience, that was mostly due to circumstances and poor luck.

Thanks

Life has just served up another body-blow, looks like i'm going to have to sell it after all, a boy racer in a civic type r going far to fast went into me... knock for knock because it was in country lanes.

Decided to keep it, i'll just keep kicking myself if I do!

Thanks anyway guys for the advice and comments... even if some of them were wrong *cough* thisnameistaken *cough* xD

BUT: it looks like your bass has some significant upgrades (eg the finish), so it may be eligible for a place in a higher price region. nonetheless, I have no idea of how sandberg guitars are made available in the UK. In italy those are sold directly by the importer, and this allows for slightly lower price than most european megastores like thomann.[/quote]


[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='516255' date='Jun 17 2009, 11:15 AM']Probably around £650, although, I am not sure it will be the most popular finish.[/quote]

Yeah the bass cost me 1200.00 GBP new inc VAT, I ticketed all the upgrades appart from fret markers because I prefer it without (:

Hi there, times are hard and it looks like I might have to sell my Sandberg, it's in perfect condition, quite literally not a single mark on it (those nicks on the pick-guard are just on the protective sticky plastic stuff, which i've since removed).

How much is it worth on the second hand market atm, they are quite rare in the U.K due to the strength of the Euro but they have won allot of awards?

Here's sine pic-age for those that haven't seen it before:

+1

But i'm unsure about it untill I hear a sample of it with a bass

I think the GK 1001RB-II normally sells for around 350 second hand doesnt it?

The last AD200 on ebay went for circa 500-600, i'll give you that for it if you're interested let me know.

Are you looking for anything in trade for this beast?

EDIT: Taking cash offers, try me the worst I can say is no!

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='241709' date='Jul 17 2008, 01:09 PM']I would spank my cash on that if I hadn't just spanked it on a Thumb, I love Sandberg, a lot.

If I sell some things, I may be in touch.[/quote]

hey don't you dare complain!

that thumb was one hell of a score

Can you take some close ups of the body in natural light, I can't tell what wether the effect is the black burst or light catching the body.

there is no way its 74kg.... even the 300w verison from the same era isn't that heavy.
