bobpalt Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) [b]SANDBERG BASIC[/b] I'm trying to have another go at reducing the number of basses I own, so as I have just agreed to buy another bass as well, I have to sell some others, including my Sandberg. The Sandberg Basic is in really good condition, and comes with a hardcase. Its finished in greenburst, and has no signs of anything other than gentle playing. It has a very "hi fi" sound for the want of another word, and has been set up with a low action, making it very easy to play. The build quality is excellent, and its loud! Price reduced finally to [size=4]£425.[/size][b][/b] NOW SOLD............................. Cheers, Bob [attachment=35832:prs_029.jpg][attachment=35831:prs_032.jpg][attachment=35830:prs_034.jpg][attachmen t=35833:prs_030.jpg] Edited December 22, 2009 by bobpalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jules[/quote] You guys are just too kind. I'm starting to blush................... Hi Jules. There is a volume, blend, treble then the mid thingy control. To quote from their website: [b] All Villex pickups come with a built in mid-tone circuit and an external pot which allows to gradually change the sound character from vintage to slap. It's like having several pickups instead of one![/b] I believe the pickups are linear humbuckers, rather than single coils, but havent taken them to pieces yet to check! I do have someone who has provisionally bought the Shuker, subject to payment of course. The Sandberg is a great bass as well, but in a more "in your face" kind of way. All the best to Russ, Alan and Jules. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
