Rowley Birkin QC Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for a TRADE for a Marcus Miller 4 string Jazz Bass (with cash adjustment), which MUST be in WHITE (I know, fussy aren't I!) The Sandberg is in PRISTINE condition and plays & sounds as you would expect........awesome! But I've wanted a Miller Jazz for some time now for a "KEEPER". Anyone in the frame? The site's picture uploader appears not to be working at the moment?????? So if you can offer what I'm looking for, drop me a line and I'll send you an image. Alternatively, would sell for £750 Cheers Rowley Edited December 4, 2012 by Rowley Birkin QC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemeckfrac Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You'd be better off selling Sandberg and buy Miller as they show up quite often here for about 500£ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley Birkin QC Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 You may well be right, perhaps I'll change the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I know only too well how it feels to get a case of GAS...but in all honesty the Sandberg is a lot more of a bass than the Fender MM (sorry MM owners!). Keep the Sandberg!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Sandberg!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] I don't doubt you're wisdom, and I must admit it really is a gorgeous bass in every way. That said, I have a Mex Jazz Deluxe with a J-Retro which I just keep picking back up, and it's certainly equal to the Sandberg in terms of tone range and has a gorgeous neck. Perhaps if no-one comes forward with the right offer (and I'm in no hurry) I'll just keep it, sell a few other things, and buy a used Miller as well!.......don't tell the missus I said that tho'!

Bungie Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I had an oly white Miller. It was a minter and I didn't realise how sought after they are until I put it up here for trade. It swapped quickly for a Stingray. I'm a pick player and try as I might I couldn't get the Miller to sound right, far to much top end and honk for me. Funnily, enough very nearly traded it for a Sandberg, which I love the lokk of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm completely the opposite as a finger player (and indeed find it difficult to play with a pick) but each to their own. Somehow it's the LOOK of the white miller that appeals as I know I can get the sound I like from it, and I admit that might not be the right reason to get rid of the Sandberg.........but what the hell!

Ashborygirl Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 mumble, mumble, mumble POISEN MONKEYS!, mumble, mumble, mumble. Is this a Jazz width neck & what do the controls do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley Birkin QC Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 [quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1354102470' post='1882004'] Is this a Jazz width neck & what do the controls do? [/quote] It is a jazz width neck and the pots, starting with the one closest to the neck and working backward, are as follows; 1. Volume Push/Pull - activates/de-activates the active circuitry 2. Pickup balance 3. Treble 4. Bass Further there is a toggle switch which splits the humbucker (bridge pickup) to a single coil pickup. Hope this helps.

Just for any other interested parties out there, I've just weighed this in response to a PM and it weighs in at 11lbs, quite heavy, but I like that in a bass!
