WITHDRAWN: Sandberg California VM2 Darkhawk £1475

[Oldman]

This was/is my dream bass, Black, Black and DR Black Beauty Strings. 

I’ll post actual snaps tomorrow, 12 months old, Immaculate no dingaling dongs, it looks the part. Only reason I might move it on is obvious really, no gigs, old getting older, corvid jobby and I’m considering regressing to 34” scale. Bought from these people after stumbling on the Bass whilst browsing.

Face to face transaction preferred, I’ll go half way not happy to post if I do it’s UK only.

Thanks for looking

Have you clicked on the ‘Link’, please do and count the machine heads, it’s a 4 over 1 configuration, 5 strings in all.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

It does look the business. If I was looking for another 5’er, I’d be tempted. GLWTS 👍

 

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Is that switch as it says, a pick-up selector, or does it split the coils?

[Oldman]

I think it splits the coils, I’ll check.

I think he means the seller doesn't even know what the controls are

The switch selector merely says blend.

How many positions?

What is it blending, single coils/both coils/each pick up/outside or inside coils etc

[Oldman]

I’m just the messenger, I really haven’t a feckin’ clue, Bridge pup, both, neck, kettle on/off. 🥺

[Tankdave]

The switch switches both pickups to single coil or humbucker mode. Found the answer in a review 😊

Oh, are you selling for someone else?

Oh, no, it’s my bass, I just don’t really pay attention to the minutia of single, double, split coil dumbuckers with switches, I did find the mid frequency knob useful. I just do bass, not techie stuff, is all. 

Its a feeler, it’s my main bass, I’m not gigging and unlikely to be, maybe never. Whilst  It’s sat sittin’, I’m thinkin, use my Thumb, BEAD it, jobs a good un hence the feeler.

 

[Oldman]

Can’t do it, it’s staying, I searched for this type of Fender style bass, I fancied Sandberg, stumbled on it, it is superb.

Thats it.

Thanks for looking guys
