M@23 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I'm putting Sandberg up for sale. I've not had it long at all - less than a year. I really do like this bass a lot. But, i'm playing at least three times a week and my back can't take it. Therefore, unfortunately, i need to move this on and get something feather weight. This bass weighs [b]10 lbs[/b] exactly - so isn't a back breaker, it's just because of the amount of playing i'm doing and due to a bad back anyway, i need something super light. It is a real quality instrument. Fit and finish are perfect. It plays wonderfully and has a great low B. It balances perfectly on the strap too. It has a Sandberg gigbag with it. I have done quite a few gigs with it, BUT, i am beyond careful with my gear and it is in extremely good condition. It has no gouges, dings or chips whatsoever. I'll say 9.5 out of 10. It could pretty much pass as new. I am based on the Isle of Wight, so collection from here, Portsmouth, Southampton or Lymmington are preferable. I could post at buyers expense, if needed. But i'd rather not as it isn't in a hard case. I could be tempted by trades for light weight 5s. Sadowskys/Mike Lull's etc... The spec goes something like this:[list] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Neck: 6 x bolted / canadian hardrock maple[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Fretboard: 22 frets, block inlays, matched headstock[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Scale: 864 mm / 34"[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Body: Alder[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Finish: Creme[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Pickups: 1 Sandberg splitcoil / 1 Sandberg powerhumbucker[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Preamp: Glockenglang 2-band, active / passive, passive tone control[/font][/size][url="http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/5_zps8k9bie6m.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/4_zpsap1ndxpt.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/3_zpseyon5ox9.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/1_zpsnx3yfgoy.jpg.html"][/url][url="http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/2_zpse84vqbge.jpg.html"][/url] [/list] And the sun is out!
