Geoff Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I am selling my Sandberg JM4, which was made for me last September. The serial number is 9324 and the specs are as below; NECK 6 x bolted / canadian hardrock maple FRETBOARD 22 frets SCALE 864 mm / 34" BODY OPTIONS matt finish: european ash HARDWARE sandberg PICKUP 1 Delano J-style / 1 Delano M-style humbucker / PU-split PREAMP Sandberg 2-band, active / passive, passive tone control WEIGHT ~4Kg or just under 9lbs This bass is as NEW, there are literally no marks I can see on it, as I recieved it fresh from the Sandberg factory last September for a band which then got messed over by a label a few months later. This means the bass has been sat in its case for most of the time and it deserves to get out there and get played. This bass sounds extremely good and because of the J and M pickups, you can pretty much dial in any sound you need. It sounded amazing when I used it for recording, but its just a shame it wont get used. Photo's are below; [attachment=56039:RIMG0542.JPG] [attachment=56040:RIMG0543.JPG] [attachment=56041:RIMG0544.JPG] [attachment=56042:RIMG0546.JPG] [attachment=56043:RIMG0547.JPG] [attachment=56044:RIMG0550.JPG] This is the bass having the finishing touches done in the Sandberg factory. [attachment=55061:P1000159.JPG] This was £1250 brand new and as this is in such good condition I will be looking for [b]£750[/b] O.N.O (UK shipping included). It comes with the Sandberg gig bag that is sent out with these basses. I am looking to change my rig for a lightweight option, so i'm interested in Markbass, Genz Benz and the Orange Terror amps, plus £250 my way. Make me an offer anyway! I am willing to deliver within a reasonable distance, as I dont want it getting knocked about in transport. Reply here or PM me if you are interested or have any questions! Thanks, Geoff Edited September 12, 2010 by Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andykelly Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Wow... How much would shipping be in the UK? I live the other side of Oxford, a fair old drive from Peterborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check when im home for a exact quote though. [quote name='sunfish' post='906385' date='Jul 26 2010, 10:03 PM']Hi What is the weight of this bass? What is the width at the nut?

Hey, im at work at the moment, but off the top of my head the nut width is 38mm and the weight is ~2kg[/quote] Lovely bass, good luck with the sale - I think you might want to double check that weight though, 4.5lbs is pretty light for any bass let alone a Sandberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraff Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Good luck with it. As a PM4 owner, I can vouch for the flexibility in tone these kinds of Sandbergs give, and for the quality of finish. Sensible price too IMO. Someone'll get a cracking bass with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Cheers Fraff! This bass is the mutts. I just checked the weight and it is 12kg. AndyKelly, looking on Parcelforce, shipping from Peterborough to Oxford would be £40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Bloody typical as i was crying out for a Blackburst JM4 a couple of months ago, and just brought a MIA jazz so not got any funds left. Good luck with the sale, maybe ill get ti next time. Edited July 28, 2010 by dave_bass5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be over 25 lb and would make a late 70s Fender seem a featherweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2000 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Must be 12kg in the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 This isnt going very well haha I dont actually have any scales at my place and had to search on the net for the weight of the Sandberg. Shipping weight came up as that, but I could be (and will probably be proven) wrong. Even if im not any good, this bass is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Ok, I got myself on some scales and the weight is coming out at ~4Kg. Sorry about the mess up with weights above. Edited August 8, 2010 by Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have no idea why no-one has bought this! Really surprised its not already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Probably because I came across as a noob by getting the bass weight wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Really can't believe this hasn't gone yet. If it wasn't for the fact that I need a fretless I'd have had this. If it was a RW board I'd have bought it and defrettted it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
