Wan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Hi, I’m selling this wonderful Sandberg SL California Bass.. “ SL = Super Light “ These Basses are super light and sound amazing.. When I say light… It’s only 6.5 Pounds with no neck dive. It has a great Jazz Bass profile neck and is finished in Red Burst.. It’s an absolutely gorgeous Bass and is less than a month old.. And a genuine reason for sale.. If you want a super great sounding light weight Bass this is for you. Sound wise, You can split the Humbucker to single coil, it has Bass & Treble active cut and boost and a pull passive knob on the volume knob.. The Bass comes with a Sandberg Gig Bag… I’m based in Cheshire. Here’s some info from the Sandberg website… https://sandberg-guitars.de/california-sl-tt-superlight/#1538825801905-34a97c3e-cf2f And a nice YouTube Link… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snfLtkZEKqg The price is £1,100 including postage... Cheers.... Edited May 24, 2019 by gary mac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_ii Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I don't think I've ever seen a bass as light as 6.5 lbs. It looks beautiful and will be hugely appealing to some of those basschatters with neck or back problems. GLWS /M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 What wood the fretboard is made of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Norwegian Maple (although it’s actually from Germany, it’s just the species name) as opposed to Canadian so it’s as strong but lighter. Finger board looks possibly like their steamed/fumed oak, which is similar to rosewood but gives a nice snappy attack - but I could be wrong (hope I am not). If I am right it’s sort of in-between Rosewood and Pau ferro in its sound. Sure the OP will confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wan Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hi, the finger board is indeed Pau ferro.. The pictures really don't do the Bass justice, it's a stunner.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wan Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hi, I'm in South Warrington.. The finish is Matt, I think they're all that finish because of the nature of the wood... Cheers.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
