wal4string Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Sandberg California JM 4 String Natural Finish, owned from new. For sale is a 4 string Sandberg bass with a Jazz and Music man pick up configuration. Bass has a glossed natural wood finish. Specifications are: NECK 6 x bolted with block inlays/ canadian hardrock maple? FRETBOARD 22 frets SCALE 864 mm / 34", HARDWARE sandberg PICKUP 1 Delano J-style / 1 Delano M-style humbucker / PU-split PREAMP sandberg 2-band, active / passive, passive tone control Bass purchased new about 18months ago. Only used/Gigged on 2 cruises lasting 4 weeks in total, not gigged since. Great sounding bass, and very versatile due to the push/pull active/ passive controls as well as the built in E.Q. Bass fell off stand causing a splinter in the body of the bass but only very light, stupidly I made damage worse when the splinter ruined the sleeve of my DJ (new DJ which cost me £200.00), pulled off the splinter back as far as It would go, fixed the sleeve catching problem but made made bass damage worse, a local luthier has told me he would charge £40.00 to sand down and varnish, not visible from front and only [color="#4169E1"][b][size=3]cosmetic[/size][/b][/color] without effecting the playability so not bothered. Looking for around £750.00 OVNO. Price drop now looking for[color="#4169E1"][size=4] £650.00[/size][/color]. Price drop saving can be used to cover the cost of repair, but as I say this is only cosmetic Buyer pays for shipment if not collected. Comes with Sandberg gig bag. Removed the black pick guard which will ship with the bass (can't find screws at the moment) (screws now found) Took bass to my local Post Office bass weighs 4292 g = 9.46224 lb [size=3][color="#FF0000"]Only trade I might be interested is a Musicman Stingray.[/color][/size] Laptop problems so if you could email me [color="#FF0000"][size=4][email protected][/size][/color] You can always text me 07518378808 or call for any questions.

ThomBassmonkey Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If this was a 5 string it quite possibly would've sold in 6 minutes. Good luck with the sale, I've not found anything that can compete with my JJ yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say these are excellent basses so a deserving........ [size=5]BUMP[/size][b][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump[/quote] No mate, not since last year. Although you get to play every night, still not sure if I miss it or not. More often need to play crap, which is not good. When I say crap I mean badly written charts, or you get to back an act that mimes all the high notes (Jane McDonald), but totally different from playing on land. One minute Jazz, next Rock, next classical etc. Good for learning to be an alround player but not got to the stage as though I have sold my soul to the devil. Although about three years ago was expected to mime a whole show, refused, as had played the same show for over twelve months, put my bass down and sat in the theatre through the run through, (rehearsel) came close to being fired but managed to keep my job as I knew the show arse about face. When I say show I mean a big West End type show with 6 singers, 12 dancers etc. I would recomend to any bass player (reader) but not for everyone.
