malbass Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Up for sale is this Sandberg JM4 that I got off here last summer. A really fantastic bass but it's not suiting my needs at the moment. This bass is an absolute tone monster with a huge varieity of sounds available from the Jazz and MM pick ups and the superb onboard preamp. As you can see, the bass does have some damage which I feel is reflected in the price. From what I remember a previous owner said it was caused by falling off a stand, I think if you search through previous sale threads you might find more information. When I got the bass I was going to get it repaired but have never got round to it, its one of those dings that you can't see whether its on a stand, hung from the wall or on a strap - it never bothered me enough to do anything about it. Fire away with trade offers, open to any suggestions, though I'm only looking for 4 strings at the moment. Further pictures can be made available, just shout if you want anything specific. It comes with a Sandberg gig bag so I'm not totally sure about posting at the moment, have yet to find a courier that will insure a bass shipped without a hardcase. I guess I could get hold of a hardcase and post if need be, would have to come to some arrangement about the cost of this though. I'm in Nottingham if you want to have a look at the bass.

LukeFRC Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 don't have a jazz bass I'm afraid. can you not put the MM pup in single coil mode and turn the preamp off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegatward Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Would a Shuker Jazz satinline prototype be of any interest ?

[/quote] Yep that is possible but not really doing it for me. I'm not gigging at the moment and I guess I just fancy a change as well. Feel free to hit me up with other offers, I'm quite easily tempted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegatward Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'll get to you over the weekend. It looks just like the one in the link but the bridge and tuners are slightly diferent (though still black). And of course being the prototype, it was basically a jon shuker custom build !

RnRDave Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I just creamed my knickers, this is a dream bass for me. Only ever played passive though, is there a huge difference in tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In the case of this guitar there is quite a difference between the active and passive tones (it can do both - one of the pots is a push/pull switch). The active mode gives more powerful tone although this can be shaped to suit your needs and as I mentioned before the range of tones is huge, you don't have to twiddle the knobs very far to have a big impact on the tone.

LiamDavies Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Would you be interested at all in an old mid 90's warwick corvette, passive with jazz bass pickups. Got the nice slim jazz style neck not the newer baseball bat necks. Sounds very much like a jazz bass but with a little more woody growl. Absolutely beautiful bass, should be worth about the same as your asking price as it's one of the older german ones. I can get you pictures and sound clips if you want.
