petergales Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 These are great basses and very under-rated. The name "Basic" doesn't help as it's anything but basic. I used to have one and I can testify to just how well the neck plays. The EQ is also very versatile and gives an amazing range of sounds - a lot more than you would think from a single pickup. It's typical Sandberg quality throughout. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Daveo Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 You are spot on mate basic is the last thing these basses are,they ooze quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammeFriday Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Dammit! So close, but yet so far ... A blueburst Basic is right at the top of my GAS list, but it would need to have 5 strings, so sadly all I can offer you is a free bump and a hearty GLWTS. (PS I know Basics are fairly lightweight basses, but ... 1kg? Might that be a typo, there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Amazing instruments! I hope someone snaps this up quick, if it was a 5er I'd be all over it! My first Sandberg was a Basic 4, which made me fall in love with Sandbergs and ultimately sell everything else. I've had two Basic 4's, a California VM4, a Basic Ken Taylor 5, and now have a Basic Ken Taylor 5 and Classic Booster 5, both built to my spec. It's the necks that really do it for me, but they are just superb instruments in every respect. GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
