markbass555 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I had decided to sell this to fund the purchase of a 4 string california Sandberg as I can not get comfortable with the 5 strings; but due to my central heating boiler expiring on Tuesday I will have to use some of the money to fund a new one......... This is a Georgeous sounding bass and has quite a slim neck and narrow profile for a 5 string. String spacing is 17.5mm in comparision to a lakland Jo or Dj which is 19mm. No need to go into to much detail as you guys are pretty knowledgeable. The bass is fitted with FRET FX RED Led side markers which look superb on this bass. anyone wanting the specs can get them from here [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de[/url]. I have been reliably informed that Sandberg prices are due to increase in January by 20-25% as the pound is so weak against the euro....... so this can be yours for £625.00 plus postage comes with sandberg gig bag or I could be tempted by a trade for a 4 string California P, PJ or PM. So to stop 3 kids having a very cold christmas please dig deep and buy this bass.......

P-T-P Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I may be wrong on this, but I think the string spacing at the bridge is actually adjustable up to 18.5mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Didn't this sell on here only a couple of months back? If I had the money I'd take it off you, I wanted it last time because that yellow is righteous. Not too fond of the "relic" job on it but the colour would still swing me. Hopefully someone else will sell this again in the new year when I can actually buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of getting a relic'd bass but when I played it I couldn't care less what it looked like! Always think that at least if you put a ding in it yourself it won't matter! I am sure this bass is awesome - wish I could justify another Sandberg as I am a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Can't believe this didn't sell on eBay. If I wasn't busy trying to get customers to cough up before christmas I'd have it, I think it's a real looker. Good luck with the relisting, but I think it's just a bad time of year to be selling.

I'll just keep trying. Really gassing for a four string version or a DJ 4 with maple board...but need to free up the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosfandango Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Hi yes it used to be mine and I can vouch for that this is a fantastic bass. The string spacing is adjustable to 18,5 mm (from 16,5 if I remember it correctly). It's a very forward sounding bass so if you are into heavy rock or similar you can't go wrong. That said, I used to have flats on it and used for many jazz and latin gigs as well. Its's also a headturner, I always had many people coming up to me after gigs and asking about the bass. good luck with the sale!

thisnameistaken Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Bleh... I really want this and I don't have any cash. Would you be interested in a trade for a Stingray fretless? At least if you don't want the Stingray it might be easier to sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
