One last bump and if no one wants it, I'll keep it and try chambering it from the back for a bit of weight relief. It's such a great bass!!!

Sandberg California series used to look very much like Fender P and J basses, but a few years back they changed shape slightly. I guess Fender put some pressure on them. The new shapes are nice, but I still prefer this design. The old one is what I have fro sale, the new one looks like this.. https://images.app.goo.gl/hS73DPv62uQvmGP5A

I have one on my pedal board, took me a few minutes to get my head around it, now I love it. It's a great preamp, a nice drive and putting it before my fuzz pedal makes it sound more amp like.

Selling a few pedals that aren’t getting much use. All in good working condition, all have Velcro on the base. Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass – SOLD Early model. Had it for around nine years, always been on the board but well looked after until I got the new version recently - I like the VU meter on the new one. Good condition. Comes with original box, no manual. Way Huge Pork & Pickle – SOLD Overdrive/fuzz combo. Been on my board for a few years, good condition. Comes with original box, no manual. Behringer Bass Brassmaster Clone – £35 Very lightly used, comes with box and manual. Prefer collection in Edinburgh, but can post at buyer’s cost (around £8 per pedal unless buying more than one).

I love this amp, I mostly use it with headphones, but it does drive cabs nicely and I love the gain on it, reacts really nicely.

I'm not sure about this one, I might still change my mind, it's one of the best basses I've ever owned, but (very big but) it is really heavy. According to my cheap luggage scales it's 4.9Kg. I bought it here around 10 years ago, I used it for wedding gigs until my back hurt too much, sold it to a friend then bought it back again because it's so nice - I sort of forgot about the weight issue. It has a John East J retro fitted (John kindly provided a matching switch for the coil split too, so it looks very neat). My friend kept the original Glockenlang preamp for another bass when I bought it back, but I didn't like the eq on it anyway. My friend managed to dig a big thumb hole by the bridge pickup in the short time he had it, and it has a few dings on the headstock, picked up at gigs over the years (see pics). Apart from that it's in good condition. The only reason to let this go would be to get something more useful for me, short scale 5 (wilcock), or a hollow body (Warwick or Ibanez?) or a Genzler Kinetix. If you have a strong back, or like heavy instruments, this might be among the best basses around. PS the photos were taken on a really sunny day, it usually doesn't look so red, it's normally closer to brown, but the matt sunburst changes depending on the light - I love it. Edit to say, I have the original Sandberg gig bag (practically unused) I'd prefer collection in Edinburgh, or meet within reasonable distance, particularly given the weight...

I bought this bass off @jrixn1 just over 2 years ago I believe, I've loved having it, but it just doesn't get the use it should, I prefer 5s so though a P5 would be nice to have, but turns out, I still prefer 4 strings precisions. I think this is the price I bought it for, and it hasn't really changed since then, but I'm open to sensible offers. Currently strung with LaBella flats, but I can put rounds on if you prefer. Body: chambered alder with flamed maple top and back Neck: 21-fret (plus zero fret) hard rock flamed maple with rosewood fingerboard, blocks, and vintage white binding Scale length: 34" Headstock: originally matching, it was subsequently refinished by JP Guitars, Bristol. Nut width: 45mm Tuners: Hipshot USA Ultralites Pickups: Delano PC 5 AL/M2 (neck) and JC 5 AL (bridge) Controls: Volume, volume, tone; push-pull on the tone for both pickups in series. Bridge: Gotoh 205B-5, 18m spacing Weight: 3.585kg, and perfectly balanced - a real pleasure to play. Some info from the previous owner that I would not have noticed or known about if it wasn't pointed out -> It also arrived with stripped neck screws; these have been replaced. Truss rod works correctly in both directions. N.B. Maruszczyk truss rods are clockwise to loosen and anti-clockwise to tighten (i.e. against convention). There are a couple of small marks on the body, one of which has been painted over (see photos). I'd prefer collection in Edinburgh, or delivery/meet up within a reasonable distance, but I can sort postage at buyers expense if necessary. Cash would be ideal, but, I really want a Genzler Kinetix so happy to trade. I'm also after a short scale, and a Fender Coronado. For some reason I can't upload any more photos, I'll try again later (and include a post it note with date, but if anyone wants photos before that, let me know and I'll send them over)

I'm thinning the herd to focus on getting a few things I'm after. I like this bass, a lot, but since getting a USA Musicman Sub This just hasn't been out at all. There are some signs of wear, particularly at the headstock (see pictures), but it palys and sounds as it should. The original machine heads were rubbish so I put some Schallers on it. I'm ideally looking for pick up or delivery, I'm in Edinburgh, but happy to meet within reasonable distance. I have gig bags (lots of them) and I can fashion a box if needs be, but postage would need to be paid by the buyer. Still, I'd prefer you try it first... Cash is king, but, a short scale Fender looking thing, or a Coronado might persuade me. Just noticed the new proof of ownership thing, I'll get a pic with a post it note later today - I just took the photos yesterday, just because it wasn't raining in Edinburgh.

Yes, but that wouldn't include postage.

I'm driving to Ireland (co Meath) from Edinburgh tomorrow if any Irish folk are interested. I only have room for one cab.
