eddies left thumb Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) [size=5]For Sale one 5 string Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor Bass guitar with Bubinga top + Sandberg soft case[/size] [size=5]Only (reduced)£800[/size] [size=5]This is a German hand made 5 string bass I custom ordered around 3 years ago. Unfortunately I've spent too many years playing 4 string and can't just get used to the 5th string so with sadness its got to go. It is in excellent condition, has hardly been played and only done one gig. It plays excellently and has a very versatile tone from stingray tone to P bass tones and much in between. It has a nice warm tone when set flat but can easily go very aggressive or scooped or reggae tone with the active 3 band eq.[/size] [size=5]Controls are volume, pickup pan, bass, mid, treble and single/double coil switch[/size] [size=5]Sandberg is an excellent company and when I ordered it through Electro Music they sent through pictures of a choice of wood tops with different grains and patterns to choose from. Every Bubinga top is very different making this pretty much a unique bass[/size] [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/70028459@N05/sets/72157628309915757/[/media] [size=5]For detailed specs go to[/size] [size=5][url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/basic-series-top/basic-kt"]http://www.sandberg-...es-top/basic-kt[/url][/size] [size=5]For magazine review go to[/size] [size=5][url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/index.php?option=com_rubberdoc&view=doc&id=46&format=raw"]http://www.sandberg-...d=46&format=raw[/url][/size] [size=5]Viewing welcome, please pm/email to arrange[/size] [size=5]I am from the Rotherham area South Yorkshire but I travel to Kent every few weeks so within reason or a little petrol money I could possibly deliver or arrange viewing between Yorkshire and Kent or the in London area.[/size] [size=5]Please email to discuss[/size] Edited March 10, 2012 by eddies left thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnebass Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi, What's the weight of the bass? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddies left thumb Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi I've put it on the scales and it reads around 4kg, I'm not convince that's very accurate though. It feels a touch lighter than my 4 string stingray which there web site says 4.22kg which does tie in with the scales measurement so I'll say 4kg ish but cant guarantee it. It does hang on a strap nicely and I've never notice it being heavy but I wouldn't say it was a light bass either, all subjective of course. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
