Do you guys know what used Spector NS-2 Doug Wimbish models usually go for ? I was offered a black stain matte one with a beautiful quilted maple top, pau ferro fretboard, EMG/HAZ equipped made in 2019 so no Stuart Spector signature for 3400 EUR.

Up for sale is the Warmoth PJ project that was finished just a few months ago and is built from solely highclass parts. It has only seen a few hours of playing in our living room and the practice room of my former band. I am selling it now because of two reasons: I feel like the typical P Bass body shape is way too massive for my 1,65 cm body height. Everytime I take it out to play in the living room and pass the big mirror in our entryway I think to myself "Wow, this looks awful. My upper body is almost covered by this". Besides that I am lusting for a US made Spector and I am missing a few Euros to place an order/hit the purchase button. Warmoth Custom Body Model: Chambered P Bass® Orientation: Right handed Scale: 34" Wood: Flame Maple on Mahogany Contours: Contoured Heel / Tummy Cut / Forearm Contour Battery Box: No Battery Box Rout Top Finish: Transparent Purple Back Finish: Transparent Purple Finish Type: Satin Finish Warmoth Custom Neck Style: J Bass® Orientation: Right Handed Neck Wood/Hals: Roasted Flame Maple Fingerboard/Griffbrett Wood: Ebony Nut Width: 1-1/2" (38mm) Fret Size/Bünde: 6150 Tuner Ream: BML (17.5mm) Radius: 10" Scale: 34" Fret #: 21 Pre-Cut Installed String Nut/Sattel: GraphTech Black TUSQ XL - Standard Nut Inlays: Cream Face Dots Side Dots: White Side Dots Stiffening Rods:Standard Steel Rods I put several layers of TruOil on the neck and put one seal of wax on it in the end - Feels just awesome and looks amazing !

It received the best treatment and all the routings and the electric cavity was shielded professionally. This is what it cost me: Pickups: 230 EUR Bridge: 130 EUR Electrics inkl. Potis: 200 EUR Body and Neck incl. shipping and all taxes: 1500 EUR Tuners: 145 EUR Security Locks: 20 EUR Luthier costs to put it together professionally: 630 EUR In total: 2.855 EUR This is a beast and the sound will not disappoint you. I've never had a bass that vibrates as much as this beauty.

That is a great looking bass. So it is tuned in and set up for ADGCF at the moment? What is the weight of it? -
So since we were surprised by seeing two beating hearts on the sonography I decided to cancel the order of the Sandberg Nighthawk Plus. To flog this crazy good sounding and looking Warmoth is not necessary anymore and therefore this offer is now withdrawn. Thanks for your interest.

The Sandberg California VM2 4-String RW Crème High Gloss is a 4-string bass guitar from German guitar manufacturer Sandberg. The bass features two Sandberg Power Humbucker pickups that deliver a full, powerful sound. The pickups are complimented with the Sandberg 2-band EQ preamp, with active/passive switching. The Canadian hardrock maple neck is joined to the body with a 6-bolt connection and has a rosewood fingerboard. This VM2 also features black Sandberg hardware, high gloss finish and 34” scale length. The bass has a Crème finish. The body is made from alder. I bought this new in 2017 for 1.500 EUR and switched the chrome hardware to black hardware. Weight is around 4,3 Kg according to our baby scale. This bass is in very good condition since it has been treated very well from the first second I owned it. It has never seen a concert stage and was only played in my living room as wel as the band room. It is set up for D Standard tuning. I will add a Sandberg basic gigbag as well as an extra pickguard in black (original Sandberg pickguard) I put it up for sale for 980 GBP/ inlcuding ... ... shipping to anywhere within the European Union ... standard Sandberg Gigbag ... extra black pickguard I am not interested in a trade ! You can play and pick it up in Munich/Germany and pay in cash if you want to. You can also pay by bank transfer (You cover the transfer costs) or by PayPal (Family & Friends only) If you want to I can make more pictures.

And uuuuup

Quick summary what you get on top of the Bass - Sandberg Gigbag (Basic model) - Sandberg leather strap - New set of Sandberg stainless steel strings (40-100) - It is currently strung with a new set of DR 50-110 Drop-Down Tuning strings

Hey ! I will add a brand new Sandberg leather strap

Thank you. This Bass is not just a beauty looks wise but also sound wise. (Which of course lies in the eye of the beholder) The combination of this Noll system and the hum free Sandberg Black Label Pickups is not just extremely versatile but also very strong. You can get all sounds from very dark and muddy stoner sounds to popping slap sounds. I only considered selling it because I thought that I would easily get the funds I need for the Sandberg Nighthawk Plus that I already ordered but it seems that people are not willing to spend as much money for an extremely high quality Warmoth built killer bass as they are willing to spend for a good but pretty standard USA made Fender/Gibson/you name it instrument. Maybe I have to sell my Sandberg VM2 bass instead. Of course I could not ask as much as I am asking for this Warmoth but I think it is easier to sell as it has a "name" on the Headstock

Still available at a very good price

Hey ! I ordered this set from "Rockinger" which is a famous online store over here in Germany. As almost every other store they did not have this set in stock so they had to order it from Sandberg. I am not sure why but most stores only have the 2xMM style set or 2xJ style set available.

Hey ! This bass is not an only child. It has a younger sister so you won't have to fight with the typical problems of only children when you accept this bass into your family

Hey, I adjusted the price

I put a pair of Sandberg Black Label PJ Pickups in my Warmoth project. There was a problem with the phase since there was a mistake in the instructions manual which resulted in 21 EUR extra charged by my luthier. I informed Sandberg about this and Holger sent me a set of strings and a leather strap as a "sorry". Awesome customer service.

Hello there ! So I fell in love with a Sandberg which I've already ordered and since I am not Richie Rich I need to sell something to raise the funds for this aka live in peace with the mother of my children. I have to admit that this move is stupid since it burns the money I've spent in the blink of an eye but the love for the Sandberg is so strong ..... I don't care. Up for sale is the Warmoth PJ project that has just been finished and is built from only highclass parts. So far has been played on for maybe 3 hours so it is like new !

Already ordered the new Nighthawk Plus model in dark grey. I think that is the most beautiful bass I have ever seen in my life 🤤

Does anyone in here know if the Sandberg Black Label P (Neck) and J (Bridge) Pickup fit the Warmoth routes (4 string) without any problems ?

Hello there ! So I have all those PJ bass parts coming in soon and the PJ pickups are the only parts that are missing. This bass will be played in D standard and will be used for Stoner/Doom/Sludge music only. I will use a Darkglass Tone Capsule with 18V and now I am looking for a good set of PJ pickups. I have my eyes on four different "sets": - Häussel BigMag P and J Those pickups have 9,5mm MM style pole pieces (Alnico V magnets) - Aguilar HOT P and J (Unfortunately they are not available as a PJ set) - Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder PJ set - Rio Grande Muy Grande PJ set Aguilar, SD and Rio Grande have 6mm pole pieces (Also Alnico V magnets) The problem is --> I've never played any of them. They are only on my radar because of youtube videos and reviews on the internet. Does anyone of you have experience using one of those sets in combination with the Darkglass Tone Capsule ? Thank you very much in advance Dan

Well here is my explanation. I was interested and looking for a VS4 but I did not like the colour and the maple fretboard of your Sandberg so I moved on -
Even though my daughter is only 11 months old she has already started to destroy my physical condition. Therefore and with a lot of distress I have to let go my ~5,3 Kilo Schecter bass made in the early 80s just when Manowar released the glorious "Battle Hymns" and when Pantera was about to start their way into music history. My shoulder just can't handle it and I can not play in my band sitting on a chair. So this lovely Schecter PJ bass was built during the so called Van Nuys era. Back in those days Schecter was a small repair and custom guitar shop started by Dave Schecter that was located in Van Nuys, California. Together with his employees (one of them was Tom Anderson) Schecter built replacement parts but also complete guitars (the "Dream Machines"). Instruments made during that period of Schecter are regarded as very high quality and great sounding instruments. But I don't want to bore you with its history so I would like to refer you to the following sites. https://www.mk-guitar.com/2010/10/22/the-schecter-story-schecter-guitar-research-dream-machines-the-van-nuys-era/ https://www.schecterguitars.com/about https://foxyguitars.com/ This passive bass was bought in Germany in 1983. It is made of a 2 piece Koa body (no laminate, solid Koa). Neck and fretboard are made from one piece of wood. I am not a 100% sure but I guess it is Pau Ferro. All brass hardware. Nut 43mm. Volume, Volume, Tone. The volume knobs have a push/pull function each. I am not exactly sure what they do electrics wise but they take a bit of that punch and aggression from the tone and add a bit of warmth. When it was bought in 1983 it was decided to make it a fretless bass so the frets were professionally taken off and the nut was adjusted. Since I am not a fretless player I brought it to a professional luthier over here in Munich (Stevens Guitars) to get it refretted with Dunlop 6110 Medium Jumbo frets. It also received a new brass nut. That cost me 400 EUR. Now, the fretboard looks and feels and plays like new. The bass itself is a beast in all aspects and if it were not that heavy I would not sell it. Of course there are dings&dongs all over the body but nothing major. The electronics work but there are two very small issues I have to mention. There is a wee bit of noise on the J volume pot and on the tone pot if you use them. The luthier told me that over the years dust found its way into those pots and he could not clean them completely. It did not bother me because I usually do not touch them during a song. My asking price is SOLD - Price for shipping within the European Union is included. For shipping I will dismount the neck. Payment by PayPal (Family&Friends because I don't want to pay fees), or bank transfer or cash when you pick it up in Munich. I might consider a trade for a +/- 4 Kilo Precision bass + partial payment. More pictures on request. Thanks a lot Daniel
