carlsim Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Sandberg California TM5 BASS in great condition. Plays great and is a nicely balanced instrument. The natural finish looks great and it is a well worn in instrument - a few marks and dings here and there but nothing major... Musicman pup to the rear with a single coil jazz pup to the neck. Delano pups I believe with single coil switch for the rear pup if you fancy that more jazzy sound. 2 band EQ with pup blend and main volume. No noisy electronics, could do with some new strings which I will sort out for the new owner. 1 noticeable mark near the rear pup (see pics) and there are minor marks in the natural wood on the back but it's a great bass and a very easy play. Thinning the herd a bit which is the only reason for sale. Can post if required, any trial is welcome or could meet up within reason if needed. One note - this is quite an early Sandberg I believe so I'm not 100% on the model number. I will be happy to share the serial number if anyone could share some light! Cheers!

cLepto-bass Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Beauty. Just as a Sandberg should look; old shape, no fretboard markers and sensible colour. I'd be all over this if I didn't already own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsim Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Cheers... It's a great bass and I wonder why I am selling... To be honest I have a stingray 5 which I can't part with so want something that sounds different... Probably something cleaner and more modern.
