BassBunny Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Mike. did you get my email about my latest aquisition? Playing in Coppull on Sat and Whittle Le Woods Mon afternoon if you fancy a look. Certainly fits the "different Sandberg" description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I did mate, read it on my phone and meant to reply later. Certainly sounds interesting, and worth considering if I don't get any trade offers. Although is really like another spector now, there's some nice ones for sale atm ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help your shoulder a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 I haven't heard of them, will have a look. I've of a wide levy's comfort type strap which is really good, if a little long. Every gig gets easier to be honest, wo maybe getting used to it now. But would still like a 5 string, or a spector would he good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Awesome! I have a silver one - that is damn heavy too, but it sounds SOOOO good. What is it with Germans and wood that is denser than lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 They do sound amazingly good. Germans really do know how to put a damn good bass guitar together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Bump again, while there are still basses Id like to but this is available. Got a row of 6 gigs coming, I doubt I'll want to get rid when Ive given it another good go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdriver Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 That looks really nice. I have a hankering after a Sandberg cos I keep hearing good things about them but I want 5 strings and have recently acquired a Lakland Skyline 55/60 and an Overwater J Series 5, both of which I love. My Marleux is also not for sale. Yes, Teutonic tonality is rather good. Have another string put on and I'll give it some thought :-) But in the mean time.... Bump!!

mikeh Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Another Bump to give a clearer Idea what Im looking for. Would sell for £700 + shipping, no offers. Or would trade for a 4/5 string of similar value, trade value £750-£850 Basses I would consider, Spector Euro LX or Rebop Dlx. a white Lakland DJ4 (other colours considered) Lakland Bob Glaub 4/5, ideally black/black/maple Lakland 5502/4402 I dont have cash to add to a trade, so looking for something of similar value. I am open to all trade offers though so hit me up. There where some offers Ive already had, that I would reconsider now, but cant remember who sent them!!

chuck_stones Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 How about a MM Bongo? This guy might trade his Bongo for a Sandy JM4 - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178905-fsft-musicman-bongo-4-hh/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Cheers mate, I noticed that earlier. Used to own a Bongo and even though its Fugly, played and sounded amazing. Certainly worth considering. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
