Oldman Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) £1,200.00 This one: https://www.musik-produktiv.com/gb/sandberg-california-vm2-darkhawk-5-bkb.html Open pore blacky, superb in every way, I’m regressing to 34” scale, that, COVID, Malarky and my unplayed Thumb which I’m BEAD’ing. Snaps later today. Would consider an Ibanez SR705 fretted as a part chop or the SRSC805. Try me. Snaps as promised, this bass is unused since Feb 2020 and prior to that 4 times a month for the months I’d owned it, one of those uses being a GIG. It is immaculate, in first class condition, as new. Serial Number 31340 Strung with DR Black Beauties, its a really nice bass as good, if not better, than the Overwater Custom Jazz I had built some years ago. Its light, I can weigh it if needs be but all the info is below: Sandberg California VM2 Darkhawk 5 BKB Body Shape: Precision bass Body Material: Ash Technology: Solid Body Colour / Finish: Black Satin Neck construction: Bolt on neck Scale: Extra long scale Scale Length: 35" (889 mm) Neck: Maple Fretboard: Rosewood Frets: 22 Fretboard Inlays: Side Dots Strings: 5-string Pickup type: Humbucker Neck Pickup: Sandberg Black Label Bridge Pickup: Sandberg Black Label Electronics: 3 band Equaliser Controls: 1x Volume, Bass/Mid/High- Mid, 1x Blend Pickup Selector Switch: Blend Hardware: Pearl black Including: Gigbag Special Features: Darkglass Tone Capsule active preamp Country of Origin: Germany Thanks for looking. Blondie on the right of this bass is next on the block. She’s a 35” unlined fretless masterpiece, neck profile taken from my thumb but in a fiver configuration.

Oldman Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) No longer a Feeler £1,295.00 ono, partial trades looked, 34” Fivers Edited January 14, 2021 by Oldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I now have a box for shipping, so no probs there. Roll up roll up try me with your part swaps, 50/50 or 60/40 depending on what’s offered, 34” 5 string fretted basses, Ibanez preferred 🤗 but Fender a possibility. Can safely meet up 50 miles or thereabouts or courier in box and/ or Hiscox (for an extra few beer tokens).

Oldman Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Part chops considered: 5 String Ibanez, maybe multi scale up to 60% of selling price that is £720.00 or thereabouts. Headless if you have one! Edited February 7, 2021 by Oldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraserwill Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ah that looks a beaut! Shame I'm all the way down in Brighton. Need to get somewhere to try a California maybe pmtonline in Portsmouth ball all depends on lockdown and could be a while. Never played one and it's a good wedge of cash so need to try one first. What does the darkglass bring to the show? Is only one of the the high and low mid setups? Does it still have passive mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Still has passive, TBH set right, there is very little difference (to me) in Passive and Active, more treble in active mode, both acceptable. Not sure the Darkglass brings anything out of the ordinary to the show never having had a comparison. Its a nice easy Bass to play, I certainly didn't need to try it to buy it, it was not even a leap of faith, it is a very nicely put together Bass. Its 35", I've moved to 34", only reason for the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’ll look at trade values in the region of £1,300.00, 5 string 34” fretted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Now this is a bargain, made all the more so by the appeal of a partial trade with your 34” five string and cash my way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
