I had one of these once. Completely different to the Japanese made 4-string (although that’s good too). A real air of class about it, like a custom shop model. IMHO the only weak point was the preamp, which as kind of a precursor to the Sadowsky 2-band is an acquired taste - and you’ve sorted that with a much more flexible and musical preamp. I dare say the Nordstands lift the tone, too. The string trees leave a nice break angle at the nut and IIRC the B string was well above average, I think party due to this. So tempting but GAS funds have been depleted after a couple of recent purchases. GLWTS.

Thanks… The original pre amp is definitely the worst part but the John East has sorted it out nicely. It’s one of the nicest 5 strings I’ve played but doing more gigs with four strings and just bought a Serek midwestern 2 so albeit sad… this has to go. 😐

Not that particular guitar but a quick look and it looks like a VM with two humbuckers. I’ve got a TM5 aged and it is fantastic, so playable with a really slick neck. 

Just testing the water… I have a TM5 that’s seems to be my main go to bass now… So this TT4 hard core aged with a beautiful bound neck is not getting used as much as it should. Thing is m not really sure how much to ask for it?

It’s a great guitar and the mod to elect really does make a difference. Need a serek midwestern for a project that needs an older woody sound… so sadly I’m parting with it. Another one to regret letting go at some point. 😂

Fender Marcus Miller 5 String For Sale

Making way for a new purchase is my treasured 2013 USA Marcus miller bass

Upgraded with John East Retro 01 pre amp and Nordstrand NJ5FS pups giving it a lovely deep rich tone.

I have kept the original pre amp and pick ups for anyone who wanted to swap back to original.

Comes with Fender Hard case.

One tiny ding on strap horn as shown in photo.

These are becoming super rare now.

Has anyone ordered a hand configured Sandberg this year. I ordered an HCA California back at the beginning of Feb. Although the lead time was six months I was told it could be sooner. Anyone had theirs through in less than six months?

Ok thanks for looking 👍

Yeh  huge long shot but the dtr 2000 or are you asking as well????

Even longer shot on the Korg  But if you have it gathering dust?

Just ordered a California TM 5 from Tom at Wunjo in Denmark St. Sent them my configuration and they are handling the rest and also got a great price. I had the same worries as you about import duty but the deal was good enough for it not to come into play... www.WunjoGuitars.com 

Hi all

if anyone is selling a hardcore aged Sandberg TM5 with block inlays. Prefer rosewood fretboard and natural headstock. I’m interested. Long shot but you never know... thanks!

I have a series 1 aged TT4 custom made with a banded neck... it is beautiful but need a 5 string... if anyone is interested in swapping a Sandberg 5 string jazz, pref aged? Any takers for this beautiful 4 string... After a TT or TM 5?
