Hello to all. I contacted Sandberg about special order of 5 string short or mediım scale and the answer I got is that they can build 32.5" 5 stringer. Has anybody specially ordered or already has a 5 string short or medium scale from Sandberg? I may ask a few questions about the process. Cheers

I bought a bass from Brian. He is great to deal with. He was kind enough to think about the taxes and finding the solution. The bass arrived very well from a looong way and in as described condition. Very stable and sturdily packed. I am sure I will have more deals with Brian in the future. Highly recommended. Thanks again Brian. Cheers.

I would go for used instead of new. You can find some good models of Yamaha or Ibanez for the price of new entry level basses.

In production: Spector Bantam 5 MTD Kingston LK 4 and 5 MTD USA LK 4 and 5 (532) All over the price range I guess Not in production: Aria Cardinal I believe you can find in your price range.

MTD listed them as (MAP) $979 for 4 strings and $999 for 5 strings. I assume 5 strings won't be more than £1000 at Bass Direct. Sounds fair for what it is. Please let me know when you have chance to try and good luck with the search. Any info about when they will be in stock?

I can guess that they will be great if they are half as good as the US LK model. They are not listed on MTD's website either yet but they appear in the price list and they don't seem to be too expensive. US prices though.

I too look forward to try one of these. Bass direct listed as "coming soon" but it's been some time. I am talking about Kingston model. I have one of these and they are very good for the money. I also have US made MTD Lynn Keller Signature (532) and it is great in every way. Just too valuable for me to play at every gig so I bought the Ibanez Mezzo 5. No anxiety 😁 I think I saw a Mensinger 5 string at bass direct and I saw that Wilcock is making 32" 5 string as well as an Italian brand called Biarnel. Maruszczyk may have some too.

I am looking to trade with Fender Road Worn (3TS), Yamaha BB735A (Black), Ibanez SR2605 + cash my way but I may consider other trade or sensible cash offers. I can also add some cash so feel free to offer trade with more expensive basses. -
Back on sale with new price

WISH. Elixir strings for crazy price.

So, what is the conclusion? Are they genuine? -
Thanks for the nice words. It is indeed a nice looking, great sounding and versatile bass.

Price dropped to £1450 I am open to sensible cash and trade offers. It is sad to see this beauty go but it is even worse to see it sitting in it's case not played. It is in very good condition. Very versatile due to 3 pickups and 4 band EQ. The bass is located in Cyprus. Shipping is included.
