Hey Guys,
I'm new to this forum but have been drooling over many a delicious bass over the past few months
Anyways, it's with a heavy heart that i've decided to put my Sandberg JM4 Hardcore Aged Bass up for sale (inc. Sandberg softcase)
Purely down to bills, bills, bills for the most part, and the fact that I can't part with my 'roadworn' musicman stingray as it's been through too many wars, hence the sentimental attachment!
I know I don't need to rhyme off the facts about these basses here. I spent a month looking for and trying to obtain this bass as it was a nightmare to find a good deal in the UK (or a good finish!), that wasn't been listed at retail price (just over £1400 for the hardcore aged series). As soon as I A/B'd a JM4 with a jazz bass in my local music store I was blown away. To my ears, it sounds like a cross between a musicman and a precision when blended 70/30 on the pickup selection knob, a jazz on roids closer to the bridge and remarkably precision like closer to the neck.. an Amazing instrument. It really is a better bass than my musicman.. better build quality, easier to play and far more versatile.. but like I said, I can't sell the trusted old dear.
Ok, so I purchased this new from a german music store called rockshop.de around 3 months ago new (ironic i know for the best deal they could offer which was £1269 + P&P. It's only been gigged a handful of times, in great condition (all be it a heavy relic!) and setup perfectly! I know the resale value on these bad boys isn't the best (god knows why as they're phenomenal instruments with a better build quality than any fender or musicman i've ever played) but I don't really want to part with it for any less than £850 + P&P.
I know the market place for relic'd instruments isn't as prosperous as 'mint condition', but anyone interested in this beaut will no doubt be a 'beaten up fender/jaco nut' who craves a bass riddled with mojo It's by far the best relic job i've see on this line of sandbergs so far..probably due to the ideal finish, 3TSB.
Anyways, drop us a PM if you're interested. I'll happily post to the UK (insured), but would prefer local pickup if possible as it doesn't come with a hardcase (Glasgow based, happy to do a wee jaunt e.g. Edinburgh or a half way meet as well).
Please excuse the average quality mobile phone pics btw. As always, they really don't do the finish justice and I can happily borrow a digital camera if anyone fancies a more detailed swatch
Cheers
Ross
