NOW SOLD Up for sale is my Sandberg California 2 VS4 Lionel short scale . I bought this from Bassdirect a couple of months back as during lockdown I was thinking of moving to short scale basses full time but having tried various Mustangs and this, I have decided that I am more comfortable on 34" scale basses. This has an ash body in beautiful satin blueburst colour and has the black hardware which looks ace. The bass is in exc condition, just one small mark on the wood at the underside of the neck which is a mark on the wood itself: see photo. The bass weighs 3.8 kg or 8.4 pounds. It has GHS round wounds fitted and comes with the rather nice Sandberg gig bag. The build quality is spot on as usual with Sandberg. Specs: Neck: Canadian maple, 39 mm at the nut, the neck has been fully plecked, lightweight tuners. Body: Ash, satin blueburst Scale: 30 inch Electronics: Passive volume and tone, Sandberg black label pickup according to the Sandberg spec sheet. Don`t trust the BD website, the specs are quite often wrong. I`m looking for £750 collected from Paisley or local meet up or will post UK mainland only for an extra £20. Payment by bank transfer only. These are quite rare basses and you are saving £350 on the new price for an as new bass. Any questions give me a shout.

Now Sold!

I`m reading Rhino, Winos and Lunatics for about the 5th time. Deke could really tell a story. Sex, drugs and yes, Rock n roll. But no Cliff and The Shadows....

I have managed to source a Fender short scale gig bag for this bass so I can throw that in instead of a full size gig bag if preferred. I am off work until Wednesday and if someone wants to buy this and requires postage, I wouldn`t be able to get it collected from me until Thursday. Ta

Now traded.

NOW SOLD! Fender Mustang black limited edition from Bax music. Bought this earlier this year but not been able to use this, you all know the story..... Usual Mexican Mustang spec but with black hardware and ebony board and rather sexy black headstock with Fender logo only. The neck has a bit of flame on it. Weight is 3.6 kg or 7.9 lb`s. Great condition apart from a small dink on the front face of the headstock near the end, not through to the wood. I had a badass bridge on it but it didn`t make much difference so I took it off, sold it and replaced it with a different hi mass bridge which does the job fine for a lot less cash. There is a couple of small marks where the baddass was but none are through the paint and you can only see them close up. See photos. There is some dust on the bass even though I dusted it before hand and black is a bugger for showing up the slightest things. I`m looking for £400 for this collected, postage will be an extra £20, UK mainland only, bank transfer please. It will come in a rather nice full size gig bag as I don`t have a short scale version. No trades please

As a sale for this bass has had less interest than a Bank of Scotland savings account, I may be open to a trade on a similar value 4 string bass. Not got anything particular in mind but must be 4 strings and be UK based. If interested pm me.

Price drop to £900. Bit of a bargain for this as they retail at £1350.

NOW TRADED I bought this new a few months back but as usual with Jazz style basses (I know this isn`t strictly a Jazz) I`m just not bonding with it so I will stick it up here and see if there is any interest. It is in as new condition and has never left the house. It weighs 4 kg or 8.8 Lb`s and is fitted with a brand new set of D`Addario nickel strings. The build quality is fantastic as any Sandberg owner will testify. The pickups are by Delano and you can split the humbucker and use it as a normal Jazz bass. There is a passive option by pulling out the volume knob and the treble control becomes your passive tone control. The neck size is between a Jazz and a P. If posting is required, I will only send it on an insured service and this will require a hardcase which I will source but this will take a few days to sort out so please understand this. The cost of this insured service is around £30 but I will spilt the cost with the buyer, so £15 each. Please note payment by bank transfer only and strictly UK mainland. I will not be sending this overseas so please don`t ask. Specs: Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fretboard: Rosewood Scale: 34" 22 Frets Pickups: 1 Delano J-Style and 1 Delano Power humbucker PU Split Sandberg 2-band EQ Active/Passive Colour: Blackburst Matt
