Dov65 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Immaculate condition Sandberg 48 in pillar box red this 48 is passive, I don't think there's many around like this one. A member on here 3d printed 2 new covers for me as I wasn't that keen on the original pickups which were sealed inside the covers epoxy or something like that. I stuck 2 (paired) Nordstrand Big Singles in it then put the 3d printed covers back on. It sounds absolutely smashing....a brain wave kicked in & i decided to have a guard made up by the excellent Brian Pillanz so the pickups were exposed...I prefer it like that but changed it back for this add BUT its easy enough changing it over...the guard was stuck on with double sided tape so there's no holes. Pickups are centralised in the cavity just my crap photos. Balances no prob on the strap, I stuck new black Hipshots licensed m/heads on and a new Sandberg black bridge. Nut width 40mm according to my 6" rule. I do have the Sandberg 48 shaped bag that it came with but I'd really prefer a meet up half way distance anywhere in the UK. I do have some good feedback on here 😊 REDUCED 1000/trade .this 48 cost just over 2K Edited August 23, 2021 by Dov65 Reduced 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I prefer passive basses as no batteries to worry about and less chance of electronic failure which i've experienced over the years with a couple of basses including my Warwick Thumb (twice). My Geddy CIJ Jazz has one of the slimmest necks i've played. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
