rommi Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Hi All [b]*UPDATE - I've put an offer in on a bass here on BC so this I've put the price down to £625 + 20%VAT = £750 (I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands so you will be charged VAT on 'imports'). Only £625 will actually reach my pocket, with the £25 going towards shipping.. I will be putting this on ebay tomorrow (Monday) night. PM me if interested. Cheers[/b] I have been a member of this forum for a short while now (mostly just 'mooching' around the different discussions and classifieds) and haven't really been very active at all, so firstly I'd like to say a belated hello to everyone from Jersey (sunniest place in the British Isles apparently! ).. Up for sale is my Sandberg California PM4 in a stunning 'satin blackburst' finish with a rosewood neck and black pick guard. I purchased this bass new a few months ago, she plays beautifully and has amazing tonal versatility (I play a range of styles from Blues, to Rock, to ballads, to slap). I have played this bass at a few gigs now since she's been in the paddock and I'm yet to be disappointed. Some descriptive handy stuff; ash body, maple neck & rosewood fretboard,34" scale, chrome hardware, 1x Sandberg P-style pickup & 1x power humbucker, Sandberg 2-band EQ with passive tone control, active/passive switchable, includes Sandberg gig bag and adjustment tools. Anyway, I'm selling due to a love of Jazz basses (Fender mostly).. I simply love them. I try other basses, and they are mostly all great basses, but they are just not a Jazz bass. As I have a loving Fiancée, and she does allow me quite a good bit of freedom with gigs, buying equipment etc, I think if I want to keep this arrangement in good form then I should really sell a bass before adding another to the family =).. **PICS UPLOADED** (Will add more pics in a later post or link to another site as I'm having trouble uploading) **EDIT - finally uploaded using Photobucket =) [s]£850 ONO[/s] [b]£800[/b] Possibly interested in a trade for a Fender Jazz of some sort.. Thanks for reading Matt Edited July 10, 2012 by rommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassfunk Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wow, very nice! do you know if this has the same neck dimensions as the jm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rommi Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='bassfunk' timestamp='1339083784' post='1683409'] Wow, very nice! do you know if this has the same neck dimensions as the jm? [/quote] I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of the JM but I've just measured mine and at the nut it's pretty much 1.5" (believe it or not, from what I have read the JM is wider!!). I've also just measured my Mexican Fender Jazz at the nut and that was ever so slightly under 1.5" so very similar.. [quote name='benjifaith' timestamp='1339098927' post='1683739'] Im not sure about this but hypothetically what would you do for a Fender Mexican Jazz Deluxe trade with cash?

rommi Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Ok mate, I'm in no hurry to get rid anyhow.. I haven't written off your trade, just not certain about it you know.. If you do raise the flash then that's cool too - it may still be available, and there is a Nash jbass that my local music store has on order so the cash would go a short way to funding that :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Evening, I'm not in the market - but would you mind measuring the nut for me please? I'm thinking about a passive one with just the P pickup but would like to know whether the neck is more like a J or a P. Thanks. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 as if this has not gone yet! These are just the most amazing basses ever. I love mine to bits. If i had the cash i would swoop it up straight away. bargain alert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great bass, lovely to play, but a Jazz is my thing :-) If it doesn't sell at this price, or I don't get the right trade I'll just keep it..
