  1. For sale or trade this beautiful Maruszczyk Jazzus 4a custom. Light weight bass with great balance. It has a Lace Sensor pickup in the Stingray position, amazing amount of output! It has an Active/passive switch and a 3 band EQ. The tuners are Hipshot ultralights. This bass is a one of a kind, as far as I know there is only one. This bass is as good as new, only played by the people at Public Peace. No scratches/dings or dongs. Comes with a set of fresh strings and a a nice low action. Price is 835 pound (new this bass would have cost at least 1400 GBP ). Trades are welcome, I'm open to a lot but especially looking for a good fretless or a hollowbody bass (Fender Starcaster, Guild starfire etc). Thanks for looking!
  2. Thanks! I added another trade option, a fretless bass would also be welcome as a trade.
  3. Thanks! One extra video I made a while back, it's bit weird and I don't look that happy (had terrible hayfever) but it's another good example of the sound of this bass.
  4. I bought this bass a few weeks ago here on basschat unfortunately it's not exactly my 'thing'. I'm looking for either a sale or a trade. Interested in for instance a Yamaha TRB6, Maruszczyk Jake 5, Maruszczyk Jazzus, Fender P, Fender Starcaster (with extra payment) etc. Just give it a try! more pics of the bass will be added soon. This Sandberg plays extremely easy and comes with a very nice gigbag. It has Delano pickups (passive/active) and a Glockenklang preamp. The humbucker can be split via a toggle switch. Frets are in top condition making a really really low buzz free setup possible. Trussrod works perfectly. Shipping is not a problem, I've got loads of packing material to make sure it will arrive safely.
  5. Amazing bass from a great seller! GLWTS!
  6. Just recieved this beautiful ACG harlot in a trade. Unfortunately, the shape of this bass is not for me. Playes like a dream with loads and loads of sound possibilities. High quality bass with a very nice asymmetrical neck. New pickup configuration on this bass. Two PB split coils but with the bridge pickup wound with a ceramic magnet and the neck with an alnico magnet. Excellent range of sounds from modern to vintage. • Top Wood:Zebrano • Body Wood:Alder • Body Finish: MLF • Pickups: 2 x ACG PB • Hardware:Hipshot Type B, Hipshot string tree, Gotoh GB720 tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, • Pre-amp: East Uni-Pre Weight is 3,2 kg! Bass is located in the Netherlands but can be shipped in a almost new Hiscox case. The last pic shows the colour of the wood in sunlight. Hard to catch in photos. Trades are welcome, especially Fender jazz or p basses but other basses are also welcome.
  7. Too bad you won't ship this bass. Absolutely beautifull!!!!!
  8. Option 5 Destination Thumb boost pedal for sale. I have never used this pedal live so it's an absolute 'like new' condition. The pedal gives your bass a nice boost. Asking price is 55 GBP incl shipping from the Netherlands The Destination Thump is a super simple easy to use reliable and necessary tool for any bass pedal arsenal. Use it to make your amp louder for solo work. Use it to revive tone from long lengths of cable and too many pedals. It can also be used to put 'hair' on your strings by overdriving your bass amp gain pedal for fat killer and cutting tones. All at a price and quality make that you have come to expect from Option 5. These little boxes are so handy you may as well have two! Features All analog circutry 0 to 15 dB of CLEAN gain VERY low noise floor Easy to adjust gain trimmer will not be moved accidentally by your foot Standard regulated 9 volt DC wallwart operation True Bypass RoHS compliant.
  9. Just received my second Pro two days ago .This time in Aqua burst. Great fretwork on this one! Same goes for the lacquer, not a flaw.I didn't do a full setup since the bass had been in pretty cold weather for a few days. Only changed the strings to a set of Fender Shortscale's as an experiment. Not bad! Practised some Proto Cosmos on it yesterday. Really punchy bass this one!
  10. there is a big difference in tone between having the tone pot fully open or fully closed on my SWB's, perhaps newer strings will make it more noticeable for you? That being said the standard pots on the SWB are not the most precise imo. Putting in a different more precise tone pot would ofcourse solve this problem. It's a cheap and easy fix if it bothers you.
  11. After a lot of thought I've deceided to sell two SWB's from my little collection to make room for something new. For sale are: Chowny SWB1 Tobacco Burst fretless. 30,75" scale with an (slightly flamed) ebony fingerboard. Side dots are on the note. This bass weighs 3,7 kg. Comes with an extra custom wood-like trussrodcover and an almost new set of flatwounds. There is no wear on the fingerboard. Chowny SWB1 Vintage Blue fretted. 30,75" scale with an ebony fingerboard. Weight is 3,5 kg. I replaced the stock pickups in the fretted SWB with a set of new DiMarzio model J's. Original pickups will ofcourse come with the bass. (Below is an example of it's slap sound, but this bass can also sound extremly deep and funky when played fingerstyle on the neck pickup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQzWYpZkQeE ) Both basses are passive and are in a like new condition, no scratches or damage whatsoever. Both basses also come with Gator hardcases IMO the SWB1 is the absolute best shortscale bass you can buy in this price range. Great value for the money. I would like 365 GBP for each bass incl. the case ofcourse and including shipping costs to the UK. When bought both at once there will be a small discount in the price. I'm located in the Netherlands and have sold and bought various basses in the past here at Basschat.
  12. Here it is. The quality could be better, it's a bit too dark at the moment.
  13. Made simple video last night with the PRO and man does that bass play nice! incredible low action without buzz......
  14. I have a very nice Gator shortscale padded gigbag. If I'm not mistaken bassdirect sells them. They are a bit expensive but really really good quality!
  15. Nice! Definately get the medium scale! Shortscale GHS are just a bit too short, I know that from experience
  16. Absolutely a lot like the Stanley Clarke Alembic, that's one of the things I love about. You can actually get a really decent Clarke- like tone out of the PRO too!
  17. Just a quick update, I have been playing this bass a lot the last few weeks and yes it really is good! I used the bass on a few gigs and in the studio and it's just an amazing versatile bass with a really big sound. I gave the body a really slight oil finish (well actually dr. Ducks axe wax) which brings out the grain in the wood even more, beautifull! I did have to get the edges of some of the frets dressed though, they were a bit sharp, but that's what you can get when a bass has been made in a nice warm climate and then is transferd to the cold Netherlands. That being said I can truly say that these basses are really really well made and are definately worth the money! Love it!
