    Now on hold pending trade SKC Bogart Sport 5 string custom built by Stephan Hess in Obernburg am Main in Germany. Bought from lowregisterhead on this forum a few months ago. Blackstone body - various composites wrapped round a spruce core and finished in Alpine White with carbon fibre neck and phenolic composite fingerboard. The pickups are USA Bartolinis and the preamp is a Mike Pope Flexcore with 4 band EQ. There is also a switch for coil tapping the bridge humbucker. Scale length is 35" string spacing at bridge is 19mm weight is 3.6 kgs Amazing bass with super playability, fantastic tone and killer looks. Comes with hard case. Bass is in excellent condition with no cosmetic, mechanical, electronic or structural issues. Bass is in Market Drayton, North Shropshire. Would trade for a StingRay 5 in similar condition with maple fretboard. Trans teal or trans red would be my ideal choices but colour not a deal breaker.

    I think I want a clear pickguard for my hybrid 5. Looks so much better than the white one imo

    I play a couple of Metro Express fives with my band - a J/J and a P/J. Which begs the question, why do I have a couple of more expensive four strings (MM Sabre & Klos Apollo) and a pair of very capable five strings (MM StingRay 5 and SKC Bogart 5) sitting at home? Sometimes I think I need my head checked. But then again I've always sold basses if I need the money for something else.

    I had a factory lined fretless Deluxe in the same see thru red. Only sold it as part of a cull when I relocated 250 miles south. Fantastic basses these Deluxes (and the Elites) and this fretless conversion of yours looks very clean. Excellent job! GLWTS!

    Bought a Marshall Vibratrem pedal from Ross. Really impressed with the pedal and the deal was super smooth and easy. Arrived before I expected it to as well. Another top basschatter. Highly recommended! Cheers Keir

    Same for me. I had a black 1980 which I owned between 1989 and 1997 (swapped it for a Streamer Stage 1 but that's another story) I remember ogling and hankering after the very svelte looking EB models at Rose Morris in Denmark Street, who I always thought carried a great selection of MM basses at that time. And again later when I moved back to SW Scotland at Sound Control and I remember marvelling at the woods and finishes on the EB basses. Then I bought a 1990 Sabre in 1994 and again the woods, fit and finish made me think my pre EB was a clunky old thing. Still loved it though until said Streamer Stage 1 appeared.

    I owned both a Ray34HH and Ray35HH and I found the output drop on the in between positions 2 & 4 (both inner and both outer coils) made switching between those tones and positions 1, 3 and 5 almost impossible in a live band setting. The in between positions sounded great but almost impossible to keep a consistent output if switching settings. Shame really as both basses were otherwise really nice. I didn't get this problem with a USA deluxe Fender Dimension HH 5. That was a great sounding bass and the inner and outer coil settings sounded terrific.

    Red mirror pickguard bought off here for my '05 LE

    I struggle to comprehend that this is actually my first Sandberg. Bought off here just recently-beautiful VS5 with capabilities that far exceed its relatively low price and single pickup. I'm hugely impressed and now a bit of a Sandberg convert🙂

    My Classic Sabre 😍 Gets me really close to a StingRay. Has the Lakland H+S mode and does the 'hollow' two pickup tone with the switch in the middle position. There's a lovely woody P bass mode tone on position 4 and lastly a nice fat warm neck humbucker on its own. I prefer the 'Lakland' and 'P bass' inbetween settings on the Sabre 5 way compared to both inner and both outer coils settings on a StingRay HH.

    Understated and classy looking imo. F basses really intrigue me. Would love to try one.

    Bought Rick's Sandberg VS5 which is now my Sandberg VS5! Lovely instrument at a super price. Rick was great to deal with throughout. Top fella and an absolute credit to Basschat. Many thanks Rick for a really easy deal. All the best! Keir

    Love this black/black/maple combo on a Jazz bass. If only this were a 5 or that I still bought 4s
  17. dub_junkie
    Stunning! Red/maple 😍

    I recently let go a modern 5, black with maple board.Everything about it was top drawer It was a sublime thing that always sounded great. and was a real jack of all trades, master of everything and anything sort of bass. This one looks lush in sunburst😍

    I owned this bass for a couple of years (as well as owning no42 previously ) and they are great Super J basses. Very rare here too - I can only think of nos 11, 42 (and possibly no 5 iirc) which I've seen for sale on BC and in the UK in the past 15 years or so. There could well have been others but I don't recall seeing them. Would love to buy it back, but I'm not playing fours these days and I've overspent as usual. Seller is a top basschatter as well! GLWTS!

    Totally agree that the core tone of the Sadowsky pre amp is one of, if not my favourite bass tones. And I find that I'm getting that tone off the MEs. I did worry about the preamp being a little bit over bright even with the treble set at zero and how the lack of VTC would mean taming it from the amp head itself but I noticed that at volume it doesn't come across that way at all. In fact I was boosting the treble a bit. What is always noticeable though is that big lovely fat but clear bottom end. It just works!

    I've been rehearsing and gigging with my two first gen MEs and they've been great so far. Possibly not so much I haven't missed the VTC that was on my M5-24 and Valenti, as just learning to work with what I have. Anyway no complaints at all.

    I just ordered one. Now going to go through the 47 pages on here 🙃

    I bought a red mirror pickguard for a Stingray 5 from Craig. Arrived super quick and as described. Very happy with the deal. Thanks again Craig! Cheers Keir

    Bought a TC flanger pedal from Jim. Top bloke, great comms and super quick delivery. Absolute credit to this forum. Thanks Jim, the pedal was packed great and sounds brilliant! Cheers Keir

    These are fantastic basses. I owned one for a fair bit and loved it. Only sold it when I changed back to fives. GLWTS!
