    The only comment I can make is to be sure to try out a lakky 5 first. I found the neck width and 35" scale a bit much. In comparison the tighter string spacing and slimmer neck on the Ray 5 were much more comfortable for me.

    Played a couple of these - both were on the fret. YMMV....

    Almost worth splurging that as a project........less than 20 miles from me too, hmmmm.

    Yup, an early 90's with a nice bit of figuring in the neck, with the 'mute' bridge and in good nick I'd go at £700ish maybe a touch more if black/maple. A later one like mine (2005) tend to be more 600ish.

    Damn, I was tempted to make a punt for this but my previous experience with 35" didn't work out. I know it would end in tears. Lovely bass tho......

    Now gone to a new home. Pleased to see that it stayed in the county of Yorkshire.

    I'll keep a look out on the Rotherham side of Sheffuld. It's a stand out bass so if the scum bag decides to 'exhibit' it should be visible.

    Well a month has passed and this bass is still not getting as much use as I'd like basically because I prefer my 4 stringer Status for the day job. So I'll stick this back in to this doldrum like market' at a hopefully very reasonable price of £570 or trade for a nice 4/5 string fretless. Don't let the fact that this Sandberg doen't look like a Fender put you off...........lol

    Must be some variation then L, The maple/maple neck on my 1990 (matt lacquer) was a bit chunky (I was playing it back to back with a Jazz at the time), wheras the 2005 Maple/Maple Ray I've currently got is quite slim, fast and easy to play.

    Love the look of this, unfortunately I think it would tkae a couple of months for my Sandberg to sell.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='542130' date='Jul 16 2009, 12:16 PM']I'll try to get some more pics up later when I'm home from work - must find the camera. I'm not aware of any mods - I'm at least the third BC owner so maybe others can report on that.[/quote] No mods while I had it - and none that I could detect from the previous owner(s).

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='541541' date='Jul 15 2009, 07:05 PM']Or save up another £300 and buy a Status Streamline. Someone around here's got one with an MM pick-up in it. I'm sure Rob would oblige. Okay, they don't do a "woody" tone, but they do everything else! Maybe see if you can hunt down a s/h one- or a bolt on S2?[/quote] My Ray couldn't do woody if it was nailed to a tree. Amazingly my Streamline seems to be able to do mellow, albeit with a bit of knob twiddling.

    [quote name='wrinkleygit' post='541601' date='Jul 15 2009, 08:42 PM']Still no offers,it can't be overpriced,surely ???[/quote] No, it's well priced. If I was closer, had the cash or you would take a 5er in trade I'd be knocking on your door.............sorry that's not much help.

    Lovely but expensive. Did it myself once but the other way around, put a Status fretless neck on a MIM Jazz. I was lucky and got it cheap (£165 inc. Hipshot h'ware). If I had been looking at full price I might have stalled. I still love graphite necks (obviousy got one on the Streamline), the feel is excellent and on the through neck there's no dead spots to talk about. However if I was just trying to make a 'standard' fretless bass fretted I think I'd probably go down the Warmouth route, you'd save a few hundred quid and not much loss in terms of sound.
