Mr Cougar Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) OK guys this is a tentative FS for my Sandberg California JM4, it's in redburst (satin/mat finish as opposed to gloss) with a black scratchplate. The controls are (top to bottom) vol, pan, active treble, active bass, the switch is an active defeat. You can't coil tap the MM pickup. It is the standard Sandberg configuration. I'm the only owner, I bought it from new. Condition wise, I've been over it this morning and there are no dings that I can see (although you are welcome to go over it with an oversized magnifying glass if you wish) the scratchplate has a minimal amount of wear from fingers playing it (I'll see if I can get some pics to show this later). It's never been gigged, never, in fact, left my house since it was bought. I would consider a trade if someone has something (that I don't already have) of interest. As ever I'll deal with people on a first come first served basis and no gazumping once/if I accept an offer. I've got some feedback somewhere on the feedback section from a few people but I don't sell too often so it will be well down. Will post in a shagged out old case if required, based on past experience posting will cost c.£30 I'd much rather anyone who wants it comes and has a look at it though, and I'm happy to meet someone a reasonable distance away for petrol money if you deffo want it. Great bass and a shame to sell it, I just don't need it since I have an MM and a Sadowsky Jazz. Sandberg is quoting £1000 for these, and the prices I can find on t'internet are all £900-£950. So I'm after SOLD MB1/Smash I totally forgot when I was putting it up) [attachment=9743:Sberg.JPG] Edited July 21, 2008 by Mr Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually ballanced on some mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cougar Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Bit of a bump and just to say if anyone fancies it I'm after a backup Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cougar Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Having thought it through and to add to my thoughts on trade I'm after a Sterling or a Stingray, and I wouldn't mind tinkering with a comparable 5 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapevinebass Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's like buses - don't see one like this for months and suddenly a black one comes along as well! More seriously, what sort of neck does this have? Is it half moon, or flattened? Also, time this had a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
