CamdenRob Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Picked this up about a month ago new, it's a wonderful player with a huge variety of sounds. I'd rather not be parting with it, truth be told, but I've got [s]a serious Sandberg California VM 5 (Natural) itch[/s] an impending house move and need to raise some funds / make some room. Here is a video of me playing it, only video camera audio but the rough gist comes across. [media]http://youtu.be/ARYBA3uPAEU[/media] As new condition (see pics) Taking a bit of a hit on this one, considering I bought it new a month or so back, as I need to raise some funds. Pick up only I'm afraid. Anyone around the Camden area is welcome to pop over one evening and try it out. I still have the tags it came with and the original receipt and I'll throw in a Stagg gigbag as well.

[/quote] Jon-boy does lovely pieces of wood too, I had a Letts fretless 6 for a while that was gorgeous but the scale length proved too much for my intonation so I let it go to someone else with better reach than I
CamdenRob Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Morning Bump... I may possibly withdraw this to be honest. I'd quite like to keep it, although I'd have to hide any future purchases from Mrs CamdenRob. Maybe trades. Anyone got a Mayones Jabba 4 there willing to part with for the G&L and some cash? I only really like the new white or sea foam green ones.
CamdenRob Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Bump - Not too bothered if this doesn't go, It really does play rather well... I've my eye on something else but this might be one of those 'grass is greener' moments Oh well, bump it is for now. Rob Edited August 27, 2013 by CamdenRob
ClusterOne Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Having recently bought L2500 i only can say this bass is well worth of the money.So many different tones you can get from it...
CamdenRob Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1378206529' post='2196941'] Would you consider shipping to Sheffield? [/quote] I'd prefer someone to collect it really to be honest... I'm in the midst of a house move at the moment with boxes and stuff everywhere. I'm so disorganized that if I was to box it up for a courier there's a possibility you might end up with a table lamp / some crockery or the missus delivered instead...
