Jazzjames Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Dear all, I would like to sell my Sandberg California JJ 5 string. Handmade in Germany 34" scale 22 frets 6 Bolt on neck maple board active/passive glockenlang preamp The preamp is pretty much the same as the passive sound when flat, but if you roll up that bass knob, you get a whole load of low end! They don't make this exact bass anymore but I assume (anyone know?) that the dimensions are probably the same as the 5 string jazz basses Sandberg make now. I bought it from the Bass Centre, London in 2008. It has been my main bass since then, and has a couple of small dings in the body, and one on the neck just back from the 3rd fret of the A string. This does not affect playing at all, and you can barely see it, as the string blocks it from view. See pictures. The screws on the pick guard are starting to rust a little bit. The neck joint screws are also rusting, but I've never had the neck off, so they're perfect. A bit of cleaner would probably sort them out. I changed out the Delano big pole piece pickups it originally came with, and put in a pair of hand made bill lawrence pickups that I got on here, so it sounds a bit closer to a jazz bass than most other Sandbergs do. I can't really post it, but I drive so if you pay my mileage I can meet you. Probably best to come and try though... It is currently strung with R Cocco nickel strings from bass direct. It's a really great bass, and I'll be sorry to see it go, but I'm just not using it so much anymore, as I'm mostly playing a precision and double bass nowadays. Was £750... now ** £725 ovno ** Priced for quick sale. Thanks for reading, SOLD Edited April 8, 2013 by Jazzjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_g Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Very interested if I can get rid of my lakland before this disappears! Do you know how much it weighs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzjames Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sorry I only just saw your comment. No idea of actual weight. It is a bit on the heavy side, but jazz type basses usually are. With a wide strap I've never found it to be a problem for my back, and I'm a little guy. The sustain and low end depth it has is awesome for the dense wood though!
