Old Horse Murphy Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Not everyones cup of tea I know, but I have just traded a Fender USA Jazz bass for a Sandberg reliced PM5. I always regretted selling my PM4 a while back, so when the chance came to own another one I didn't hesitate. The colour is wonderful and the relicing (like it or not) is very well done. Supreme build quality, superb playability and sounds and very lightweight too. I'm really pleased Quote
ThomBassmonkey Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Sandbergs seem to be coming into fashion atm. I'm hopefully getting my 2nd next week. They definitely deserve it though, fabulous basses! Grats on your aquisition, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Quote
Blademan_98 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I don't really understand why you would buy something that is artificially reliced, but each to their own! I bet it sounds great Quote
paul_5 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Lovely bass, could do with a lick of paint though... Quote
Old Horse Murphy Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the comments It's a phenomenal bass but not sure whether I'm beginning to feel the old problems in my arm due to the 5 strings.... TIme will tell Edited April 17, 2011 by Old Horse Murphy Quote

TIme will tell [/quote] 3 words......Status Streamline 5 (well 2 words and a number). TBH I've given up on Fives because theyre generally too heavy for me, or if its a light one (<9lbs) then I've hated the neck dive on the ones Ive had. So, the Streamline 5 is prbably the only 5 I'd ever consider. Hope it works out Nick. Edited April 17, 2011 by martthebass Quote

I'll see how I go but maybe 4 is the magic number Quote
Gust0o Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Best of luck with it, it looks like a stunning bass Quote
JTUK Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Sounds like a perfect answer to the problem of only playing 5's but wanting a P-bass sound at times. I wouldn't see the point of just a P5 and welcome the extra Jazz pickup..or in this case...what sound does the MM type pickup add..apart from MM sounds which I could afford to miss, personally..
