Bump.... Possibly it'll turn out in a trade within a couple of days although a sale would have been preferable..maybe someone still turns up who wants to buy this bass. Thanks for the reactions so far...have a great weekend.

Thanks for the compliment but rarely get impressed by what I'm doing myself.. In fact selling this bass is part of a bigger sell-out which I have been doing the last years.. I used to own 29 basses but I found that all those great ambitions with certain instruments turned out to be a dead-end street in the present climate.. Never has the musical perspective for bassplayers been so little stimulating to own a wide spectrum of basses when in the end you seem to need only a plain bass which does every job.. Why own fantastic five-strings capable of alternative tuning with d-tuners or have fancy fretlesses when in the end I end up doing gigs where I have to play root-fifth basslines...Not that there's anything wrong with that but the climate has changed and it depresses me as a bass-player... Seems like I can only be creative anymore in my livingroom but as a free-lance bassplayer it's not that obvious anymore to do that on stage anymore.. Playing fretless live for instance doesn't seem to exist anymore, things have become so conservative.. Sorry for the off-topic but wanted to have that off my chest..

Thanks Jens, had just looked it up myself and made some new measurements.. It's around 18mm.. hope that helps.

[quote name='chrisbass13' timestamp='1336595784' post='1648258'] hey thanks for your answer. 7mm? that would be rather tight ;-) maybe you mean 17? [/quote] Think I got it wrong, sorry.. like I said : I know a bit how to play a bass but have never been interested in the specs of basses, they just feel comfortable to me or they don't :-) I started measuring the space between the strings near the nut and I came up with 7mm..but I guess that's not what you wanted to know. If I'm still mistaken, correct me.. always ready to learn :-)

Stringspacing is around 7 mm, bridge is not sideways adjustable... [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/wombatboter/BRIDGE001.jpg[/IMG]

I'll check the bass tonight as soon as I'm home, still at the office but I'll get back to you..

Deal didn't go through in the end... This is available again..

Sold pending payment...

I always thought this was one of the best looking basses ever but there is one flaw which "bothers" me..:-) This bass has such a huge (and beautiful) headstock so I can't understand why they put all of the tuners so closely together while you have all the space in the world.. It doesn't minimalize the value or the beauty of this instrument but they could have spread it a bit more...

Traded

These are amazing basses...I used to work in a shop where they had Ken Smith, Alembic, Wal, etc... I found myself playing this sort of Peavey-bass a lot, it could easily compete with all those more expensive basses imo.. Good luck with it..

Looks great, amazing how low the action seems to be...

I have owned a lot of Fenders and even a '66 Fender Jazz... It's a matter of taste but I prefer my Sandberg bass above everything I have ever owned. I would buy this as an extra Sandberg but unfortunately a friend of mine is building a bass for me and this holds me back from buying this.. These are amazing basses which combine all the best from the "competition". Good luck with the sale.. these are the best and they cut through anything when playing live in a band.

Best amp in the world imo...good luck with the sale.
