  1. Graham bought my Sandberg Ken Taylor and was an absolute star to deal with. Easy to negotiate with and once the deal was agreed, sorted out collection & delivery without any problems. I definitely recommend dealing with Graham, a welcome addition to the BC community!

  3. Cheers Stew, sorry to hear about your loss of earnings. Update - I've updated the listing in answer to a couple of questions I've received.
  4. @posibass Hi Paul, yep it's still available. The asymmetry of the neck isn't something I was aware of until it was pointed out by the tech at the Bass Gallery, and even then its very subtle. All I knew was it was the most comfortable I'd ever played and wanted them to use it as a template and make my TT4 feel the same. The best way I can describe it is, its a touch slimmer on the treble side which makes fingering access easier as there's less wood to get in the way. As I say, it's very subtle but makes an incremental improvement, a bit like rolling the fretboard edges (which this also has). It's not a massive change and doesn't feel "different", just small improvements which add to the overall effect. Hope this helps (sorry it's a bit wordy!)
  5. Thanks Steff, I agree it's an awesome bit of kit. Make a lovely Xmas gift for some lucky lowender 🙂
  6. Putting her up on evilbay this evening... grab her quick and save me from the fees!!! 😅
  7. No worries fella! I'm slowly cutting my collection down from 9, currently at 3 (excluding this one). It's not easy!
  8. I'll be in Higham Ferrers, North Northamptonshire for the weekend on the 13-14th November if that's closer for you.
  9. Thanks fella, totally agree! The neck on this one is even smoother with the work that's been done, absolutely lovely to play, so quick!
  10. Ahh go on, she's waiting for you 😉 I've never played a stingray so can't comment on that, but this one has more than measured up to everything else I've had over the past few years, mainly Fenders but also newer Californias. Cheers Mick, she's a cracker. I'm sure she'll have a new owner soon enough 👍🏻
  11. Now just £550 for this absolute beast of a bass!!!! Massive price drop to only £575!!!!!! Up for very reluctant sale is my awesome Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor. Extremely well made in Germany in 2005, it has a beautifully figured Ash body and a clean, uncluttered rosewood fretboard, giving the bass an elegant and understated appearance. It's in fantastic condition for a 16 year old instrument, with a few minor drinks and scratches on the body and the expected headstock cymbal nibbles and belt rash on the back (please check the pics). It has had some work done over the years, most noticeably the neck, which has had a reshape and satin refinish (highlighted in the pics). It now is slightly asymmetrical, which was highlighted by Martin at the Bass Gallery when I took it in as the template for my TT4 neck refin. Whoever did the work did a fantastic job, this bass has one of the nicest necks I've ever played, smooth, very comfortable and not fatiguing at all. Additionally, the volume pot has been replaced at some point. These seemed to be a bit of a Sandberg weakness on their earlier basses, it also needed to be changed on my Classic. Other than that, everything else is original, works as it should and sounds immense. The bridge is solid and tuners tight, smooth and hold tune well. The two powerhumbuckers and active 3-band pre-amp offer a load of tonal variation, from a deep smooth low end, to a crisp clear high range. With the addition of a split switch, the bass also gives the option of single coil accents. The bass can also be played in passive mode by pulling the volume pot, bypassing the active circuit and battery. It comes in an as-new Sandberg gig bag, has been cleaned, polished and lemon oiled and is set up with super low action. Weight (on the kitchen scales) is 4.139kg / 9.12lb. Nut - 40mm / 34" Long Scale As always, collection is much preferred from Eastbourne, East Sussex, but I'm willing to ship within the UK at the buyers own arrangement, cost and risk. I don't have a box unfortunately, but will use a load of bubble wrap in the gig back to keep it as safe as possible. Any questions, please let me know and thanks for looking.
