PRICE DROP - Sandberg California TM5 - £1000 - *SOLD* £1450 NP12, South Wales

[SamPlaysBass]

Basschat special - price drop to £1000. Every time I’ve sold something on Basschat, it’s been a dream. I’m not desperate for the cash, but would rather a swift and uncomplicated sale. I’ve had a very solid figure from Bass Direct, so before it gets carted off there at the end of the month, I thought I’d offer it here first. Firm price. 
 

I have for sale my beautiful 2016 Sandberg California TM5 in a rather tasty blue (Marley Blue I believe?) with a maple neck. Delano pickups with 2 band EQ and coil split switch (humbucker to single coil on rear pickup), white block inlays and weighing in at a rather svelte 4.1kg.
 

This has been an absolutely brilliant bass to own and play. Construction is second to none, bettering Fender’s traditional jazz bass design with fanatical German attention to detail (just don’t test its emissions). Hardware is all shiny and tight, with just some player wear to the body and neck. 
 

35” scale though doesn’t actually feel like it. I’ve suffered with 35” scales and shoulder pain in the past but this doesn’t bring it on at all; it feels like your common-or-garden 34” scale but with a wonderfully tight B string. Well balanced, it sounds great and the Delano pickups have a lot more character than I ever thought they would have. Beautifully matched to a 2-band EQ with coil split switch. Low action with a beautiful vintage-but-not-vintage feeling neck. 
 

It’s been a staple in my wedding band for some time now but I’ve been offered something fantastic and need to raise the funds. Comes with the standard Sandberg soft case. 
 

Not willing to post unless you arrange courier etc. and send a box, but more than happy to meet within 50 miles or so of NP12 (Blackwood, South Wales). No trades as I’m raising funds. 
 

Any questions, drop us a message. 
 

Cheers!

Trade for a Spector and cash my way?

[SamPlaysBass]

@G-bitch It’s a wonderful old thing. Worth a look, you never know what’s fallen down there between the crisp wrappers and Quality Streets!

 

@attackbass Just put it back in the case for another 6 months or so, you’ll like it again then 😉

Open to cash offers or trades with more cash my way (try me, why not)
