giblett123 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm selling on my California JM as I have too many basses & alas the Sandberg isn't getting played enough & I could do with the cash! Specs are: Standard J body in Cherry burst, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, Delano J & MM pickups, 2 Band active with passive bypass switch, Sandberg hardware. The J/MM configs list around the £900-950 mark & this one is just over 12 months old & in pretty much mint condition. I'm dropping it to £575 (if collected) for a quick sale. Courier would be a possibility but collection preferred (based in Birmingham). Thanks for looking & drop me a line if your interested. PS I'm not really looking for trades but may be tempted by a clean fender USA P bass, duck dunn/bob glaub sig or even a 4 string status S1/S2 + would discuss a possible cash balance either way Edited July 12, 2009 by giblett123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardrickenbacker Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 What did I say?? I knew you'd get shot of it once the Shukers turned it. This bass is damn good (I know cus I've played it!!!) as good as most USA fenders, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veils Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I want this but can't afford it. Once again fate has let out a cleveland steamer upon my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Good luck with the sale, this is gorgeous and I'd have it in an instant if I had the spare cash. Somebody's gonna get a cracker here, I'm pretty sure my JM4 is a keeper for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy_moogoose Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sandbergs are the shizzle imo, living in brum has given me the oppurtunity to play them through for a couple of years due to the wonderful store that is PMT culminating in me purchasing a rather fetching maple fretboard Ken Taylor 4 and a TE 715X for my 19th...damn they sound nice, and they play like butter, with perfect action. These seriously take a whatsit on Fender from a rather large height, and along with Warwick prove that Germany is way ahead in terms of exceptional quality at great prices when it comes to bass! Have a brummie bump on me!! I'd love to take it off your hands but I'm skint and there's not many tones it can get that my Ken Taylor model already can't, sexy bass tho man, sexy bass!

wombatboter Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was always curious about these Sandbergs and a couple of months ago I tried out a JM4. It was love at first sight. Mine is an "aged relic" cream white and arrives next week.. Superbe basses that combine the good things of other basses and add a personal flavour.
