Morning peeps - so up for grabs here is a gorgeous Sandberg California custom in satin/natural  blueburst and maple. Cant find serial number in the cavities anywhere  as is a custom order - previous owner to me was the original owner told me he ordered from Sandberg in early 90s. As you can see from the pics it is indeed the early model origina l J shape before fender's solicitors sent them a snotty letter

 

Ash body so on the medium to heavy side, sorry not sure of exact weight. Maple neck with no inlays (just the usual black dot fret markers up along top side of fretboard). Body has a few very small dinks but overall is in nice shape for a 30 year old bass - ive marked them in the images, fortunately the worst ones are on the back, and a couple of smaller ones on the front at edges which are not as noticeable. The neck is completely clean and unmarked

 

Zero fret. Delano pickups, not sure but i believe possibly glock onboard preampfor this age(? if anybody could confirm would be obliged). Coil tap on the humbucker so you can range from full single coil jazz tones to full on ray thump and mixtures in between. Tone circuit is volume, pan, treble boost/cut, bass boost/cut with a pull knob to switch to full on passive in the event of battery failure. Unlike some active tone circuits this one to my thinking was much more controllable and made it a really good bass to gig.  

 

Does not come with hard case unfortunately just the sandberg padded gig bag as supplied originally from factory ... hence will NOT be couriered . Saying that, I am happy to drive up to about an hour from north kent to meet for serious buyers (in fact for anybody who is within about 70miles it works out far cheaper to drive it than pay for a courier) 

 

Am asking a cheeky 700 for this beauty, as you can see from the sandberg website configurator, their custom order price for this spec today would be approx 1430gbp so i figure 700gbp is about 50% of the current new price

 

selling as no longer gigging and thinning the herd, so no trades please

That's a lot of bass for 700 Samolians

How do you find the Delanos?

talking of fenders i see elsewhere that fender rrp of a mim P is around 700

 

for anybody even mildly interested, sandberg customs are arguably at least comparable if not superior in build quality to US fenders

 

:D
