FS - Sandberg California TT Jazz 5 string Superlight (SL) - £1150 £1150 Plymouth Devon

[Raslee]

The recent purchase of another 4-string superlight means this beauty is up for sale. I'd rather not sell, as it is hands-down the best 5-string I have ever owned and of course superlights are hard to come by, perhaps more so in 5 strings. The low B is lovely!

 

The Sandberg sounds great, feels great, looks great, and the weight of 6.8lb is... great! Gig comfortably for hours. The truth is, the reggae band I use a 5-string with seems to resurface every 5 years on average. I used this bass once only at our last gig in 2025; since then, it's been hung on the wall and not played. I use 4 stringers in my other bands, and recently purchased another 4-string superlight, so I need to balance the bank books. 

 

The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor marks being a soft wood, but nothing of concern. The neck is sublime, so comfortable. Glockenklang preamp with pull passive and passive tone , fairly sure they're the black label Sandberg pickups.

It'll come with a tatty gig bag but can be upgraded for an extra £ - it will be well packed if needing to be couriered. 

£1150  - may take new type Markbass M58R 8ohm 2x10" or 1x12" in p/t ex. 

 

Collection from Plymouth, Devon, or happy to discuss couriers at the buyer's cost.

Ooh, lovely - I *think* I have something else lined up, but if not, I'll be all over this!
