wombatboter Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Got this bass some time ago from Scooby here on bass.chat and have played it with great pleasure.. Still noticed that I got back everytime to my old Sandberg which has a humbucker in the bridge position which I prefer a lot.. So this bass is for sale again... It's a very light bass (3,3 kg), has a very low action which demands little effort while playing and the quality of every aspect of the bass is amazing,versatile enough to cover a lot of styles. Especially the weight is such a nice surprise. Some specs : Lightweight swamp ash body Crotched walnut top (350£ option) Maple neck Two way adjustable trussrod Width at nut 42mm Wenge fingerboard radios 12" 24 frets + zero fret Medium fretwire 34" scale 19" string spacing at bridge Bartolini J Coils Bartolini NTBMF 3 band EQ [color=black]Switching for active/passive and three way mid frequency switch: 250/500/800Hz[/color] [color=black][color=black]Black Hipshot Ultralight tuners and B style bridge[/color][/color] [color=black][color=black][color=black]Dunlop Straploks[/color][/color][/color] [color=black][color=black][color=black]This bass wasn't used a lot (two or three live gigs) and costed 2650 £, I'm selling it for 1850 euros (no trades please since I got my eye on something else (with a humbucker :-))[/color][/color][/color] [color=black][color=black][color=black]Local pickup is possible but I can ship it for around 30 euros to the UK (you can always check my feedback around here)[/color][/color][/color] [color=black][color=black][color=black]Some pics and a quick vid which I made a while ago for some other bassplayers (unfortunately Dutch spoken but the sound is still there).[/color][/color][/color] [color=black][color=black][color=black]Thanks for looking and always ready to answer questions or send extra pictures..[/color][/color][/color] [color=#000000][/color] [color=#000000][/color] [color=#000000][/color] [color=#000000][/color] [color=#000000][/color] [color=#000000][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km3Id6VmvW4[/media][/color]
flippyfloop Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I played this bass when it was at Bass Direct. Very nice & super light. Shame I have no £ at present. Good luck with the sale.
wombatboter Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks .. Not expecting to get rid of this soon since this is rather a "niche" bass but you never know.. When the right person comes along who finds "something" in it which appeals to him that's a comforting thought for both of us. But I guess I will have to be patient :-)
MarkusWarwick Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Its absolutely stunning, jus outta my price range at present :/
wombatboter Posted August 18, 2012 Author Posted August 18, 2012 If I understood the new rules well enough, you have to wait 36 hours before a bump or something ? Well : bump :-)
wombatboter Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Played it this morning with a new set of strings, it inspired me and I fell in love again...I'm going to keep it. Thanks for the feedback and the emails anyway..
