Now sold!! Up for very reluctant sale is my gorgeous Sandberg California TT4 Passive, finished in a really deep Natural Highgloss (which highlights the lovely grain on the swamp ash body) with Rosewood fretboard and Whitepearl Blocks, and weighing in at a very lightweight 7lb 1.9oz!! This bass has barely left the house since purchase from Kytary in December 2018. I actually used it for the first time in the studio just a few weeks back (it sounded awesome and even drew compliments from our drummer!), so is in pretty much mint condition. The only marks I can find are on the top of the headstock (please see pic) and some light swirling on the scratchplate. I've had some work done on it by The Bass Gallery in Camden, basically I felt the neck was a little fat, so I had them shave a couple of mm off the shoulders and completely remove the satin varnish, so it now feels and plays just like my other Bergs. Other than that, it's completely stock. Sandberg have confirmed the date of manufacture as 30th April 2018 and also shared the spec code (see below). I'm assuming the pickups are Sandbergs own, but can't read the code well enough to know for sure, prehaps any Sandberg buffs will be able to advise? Either way, it sounded awesome in the mix, really balanced tone throughout the range and cut through no problem. Code: CANT1-TT:S-SPS-4S-34-HG-NT-SWP-NOT-RWF-F-WB-NOM-CRH-CLT-PS-BP-X-RH I really don't want to sell this bass, but a new venture needs funding so this (and my car!) have to go. Comes in its Sandberg gig bag. Please contact me to discuss shipping, collection in person from BN22 is much preferred. Payment by BACs is preferable. Thanks for looking!

Thanks mate, I agree 😬

I'd have to say 70s look, I don't have any info on the history of the bass I'm afraid

I don't I'm afraid, it was sold as seen without any real history.

Price correction to £250!!

Up for sale is my 70s PJ Fender copy, in very relic'd condition. Edit... The asking price is £250, not £350! Fat thumbs + small keys = dumbass mistake 😬 I've owned this one since 2015, but as I don't really get on with P width necks, it spends its life sat on the stand looking super cool, but is unplayed and gathering dust. Tbh, it's way too good a bass for that! The Precision pickup's a genuine Seymour Duncan Bassline with the cover swopped for an authentic look. The jazz pickup is an original 1970s Dimarzio Humbucker, one of the first made for sale. The previous owner installed a discrete 3 way toggle (neck/both/bridge) to maintain the classic P look. I've just had it in to the tech for a going over and all dry solder joints redone, so is ready to gig without fear of any problems. I've swopped the scratchplate for a brand new Northwest Guitars tortoiseshell Pickguard, which still has the plastic cover on. Tbh, I was going to relic it to match the bass, but my last relicing effort was a disaster, so I'll leave that the new owner to sort out... It has vintage tint neck, rosewood board, truss adjustment at the body end and 70s Fender Precision logo. Truss works fine, the action is nice and low. The machine heads are genuinely aged & pitted early Japanese, they hold tune well and have no play at all. The bass is weighing in at just under 4kgs, so not too bad for an old Precision. Please contact me to discuss shipping, although collection in person from Eastbourne is much preferred. Cheers Steve

Thanks for all your feedback guys. Seems I am letting my heart rule my head, so Price Drop it is!!

Certainly

Gents, let me know if I'm a big heavy on the price (by PM preferably 😁), my emotional attachment to her may well be affecting my valuation 👍🏻

It's a standard P width unfortunately, 41.3mm.

Now sold, thank for all your interest and feedback 👍🏻 £550!!! Bass I've need in the collection has just popped up, I need to buy it, BC bargain time! 😁 Up for sale, my gorgeous Precision '70s Classic Series. Made in Japan in 2010/11, before production switched to Mexico, this pretty rare and desirable bass is in totally original and near perfect condition (I even have the original, unused thumb rest) and I can find only one small dink below the control panel (see pic) and some light swirling on the scratchplate. I’ve never bonded with it because I can’t get on with maple boards, but everyone needs a P in the armoury and this one has sentimental value, so I’ve held onto it for 3 years just stored in its gigbag. It’s probably only had a couple of hours play since I’ve owned it. But, expensive investment in fixing a troubled PJ has now dented the bank account and also rendered this one surplus to requirements, so it's time to move it on. More pics HERE £650 + Post.
