Have you made that string through your self...?

[aryustailm]

@tombboy - I had one of the Elite series (80s active P). Fantastic bass, but I think I'd be looking for something with a flavour I haven't tried yet. That Special looks like a beautiful bass though!

@JensWest - no! I'd never attempt any DIY on such a nice bass!

Bass wise, I generally prefer passive instruments and tend to gravitate towards Jazz variants (and P / J).

Ideally after an Aguilar DB212 though..

Thanks for looking.

What a beaut. Alas I have nothing to trade but if a buy it price comes up, I might very well have it.

[spacecowboy]

What an amazing plank of wood! Looks gorgeous!

Count me in if you decide to sell.

[aryustailm]

Now for sale at £700 collected!

(Or a trade for an Aguilar DB410)

Can you split the bridge pick up and if so, how close to a single jazz pick up sound can it get?

If it's a bog-standard JM, yes.

[quote name='www.sandberg-guitars.de']Split Switch: the pickup split switch splits the humbucker (bridge pickup) to a single
coil pickup (only neck direction coil working). Switch pushed in neck direction = split
(single coil), switch pushed in bridge direction = humbucker[/quote]

Yep, all the electronics are as mentioned in the PDF kindly posted by BigBeatNut (Thanks!).

It can do a great single coil Jazz bass sound, in the slightly more modern sounding scale of things . You could struggle if you're hoping to nail an authentic Jaco tone and match a vintage Fender exactly - but then lots of Fenders don't even nail that. It'll get you into that territory no doubt, and sounds (to my ears) more along the lines of a 70's Jazz than a 60's one. But the whole approach of the Sandberg to me, is that it's a sincere tip of the hat to Fender, but isn't scared to break out of the tradition, a little Ultimately, it depends where your tastes lie. It sounds great in it's own right, but might only get you 85% bridge pup Jaco ?!

I'm looking to trade my Sandberg JM5. It's a fantastic bass, switch-able between active and passive with one of my favourite necks on it, making it lovely to play.
Specs at: [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calj-series/caljm"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-ove...lj-series/caljm[/url]

My main reason for parting with it is I have another 5 string that I'm also very happy with. I don't *need* two, and I'm really after an Aguilar DB212 or DB410 at the moment. I'd be interested in a trade plus some cash, depending on the condition of the cab (I'm going on the fact that a new DB212 is around £700, and a new JM5 is £1000+). Sandberg gig bag is included.

Having said that, I could probably be tempted by other fine basses... ( who couldn't ?! )

I'm based in SE London.

Thanks for looking.

[pete.young]

Ah , I recognise that nicely figured top - this was PTP's old one

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38300"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38300[/url]

which explains why it has string-through.

Is it still for sale?

[Veils]

Canny believe nobody has taken this yet!

Hi I have a 93 jazz in very good condition or a 2005 p bass in great condition with a bad ass 3 bridge and flat wounds on both USA. Do either of them grab you ?

[elsharko]

[aryustailm]

Thanks for the interest all! PMs should be replied to.

I'm looking to sell only now.

elsharko, I've just measured it and it's 34" scale.

Cheers.

[PeteFromCorby]
