Hey, I'm really new to this forum, but have been diligently looking through what's around for a wee while, and learning a lot. I think the Sandberg greenburst is pretty much what I'm looking for: a bass that has plenty of versatility, a pleasure to play and can hopefully "open up things" for me as it did for you. Sooo, I'm OK about the £500 (including delivery, right?), but can you tell me how old it is? It looks really clean on your pics, but difficulty to see if there is lots of fret wear etc?
