Cheers @AndyTravis wasn't sure hence the question.

Thought the 57's always had a "hootenanny" button on the back of the headstock?

Perfection 😍 175 miles away 😭

Under the bed with the CS Dusty Gold Top. Don't you bloody start 😆

Couple of new pictures (case not included).

Thanks guys, really appreciated. Couple of new pics (case not included in sale).

Cracking bass, cracking bloke, glwts Lozz.

Dayum, forgot these had the wide nut unlike the Attitude Special. I know this will be a brilliant bass, glwts

THIS IS A BARGAIN!!!! for a bass of this quality.

I can now send this HOWEVER buyer to organise & pay for courier so they can choose insurance level.

Cheers Paul, all PM's replied. Facebook conversation at teatime. Bloke. "You know you can get a new one for £389 don't you?" Me. "Yes" Bloke. "I want a blue one". Me. "Perhaps buy a new one & get it refinished?" Bloke. "That'll cost me hundreds more." Me. "Perhaps buy mine?" Bloke "Yours is too expensive." Me. " Have a nice night, 'Bye."

PM's replied. Yes Dave, this one is particularly great to play, lovely neck. You won't get many basses of such high standard that they are Plek'd, for used Mexico prices.

Lovely Ash (no not you, you pillock 😁🤣😁). If either of mine go, I'll be on the A66.

Cheers, indeed it is. Better than my photos 😪 Cheers Spencer, hope you're ok fella. Thanks Marc, it really is an extremely good bass. The way the original early Chinese Series CV's are going, makes me wonder if in time they will be the next JV's. Sadly, I'm too old to see if that happens 😭😆

Get it bought Dave, Wee Jimmy'll just cancel your holiday anyway 😭. Or not 😁 The Sandberg was "sold" yesterday afternoon until I made sure the chap was aware it was fully passive now. Pity the half witted pox doctor's clerk didn't read the bloody advert!

M = Mexico, Z = 2000/2009, 9 = 2009, last 6 numbers are it's serial number for that year.

Top amp & top bloke, GLWTS Dunc.

Lovely amps, great price, top bloke, what more could you ask!

Glorious bass, first year of release, possibly one of the 1st production run of late 2008 in preparation for release of the series at winter NAMM 2009 & subsequent availability. Hmmm, thinks.

Have a bump bonkers one, top fella and one of our own heroes. Good luck & keep safe mate.

Where would Basschat be without gear sluts like us eh? 😁

This is from the original run dated 2008, crafted in China. The same factory & time as the original Classic Vibe 60's which are now changing hands at around £400. Unlike most 50's style basses, this has a modern C profile Precision bass neck and 41.3mm nut, so it's not the usual "baseball bat". Light at 8lb 2oz (Basswood). It has 3 little dimples, pretty good for 12 years old. New D'Addario 40-100's. Basic gig bag included. Sorry, no trades, no offers. A £50 non refundable deposit will hold it for you. If the Sandberg goes first, I keep this one. Collection from Darlington would be great, but I will meet up within 100 miles. THE FIRST picture is a stock image, to show the plate & tugbar. They are not on the bass but will be included. Keep safe, Karl.

A friend wanted my Warwick Dolphin & put this as part trade. He knows I need to sell it on, HOWEVER, IF my Squire Classic Vibe 50's goes first, this will be kept. Fully converted to passive, quote from my friend's original PM. "Sandberg Electra VS4 (P bass) that I have removed all the original fit electronics and installed a Martin Herrick slightly overwound (by about 5%) '58 P bass pickup to the spec used by Steve Harris, this is coupled with the V/T/T passive circuit that Adam Clayton uses in his sig Warwick Streamer CV. This was made by KiOgon for me." V/T/T passive example Apologies for photos, raining yet again. Zero fret & Plek'd, weight 8lb 10oz, nut is 40mm, lovely bass, comes with a basic gigbag. The last photo shows one slight dimple. Somewhere. Will meet up within 100 miles of Darlington Sorry, no trades or offers thanks, the basic version of this sells at £631 although they seem a little scarce at the moment. If you want it on hold I will require a non-refundable £50 deposit (too many vanish/change their mind!!!) Keep safe, Karl
