walshy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Sandberg VM5 in surf green. Typically been after a 5er and I now have two Sandberg 5’s so one has to go. This one I got in a trade and it is a beauty! Owned by a couple of guys on here so I am sure they’ll chip in. Plays and sounds excellent and one tiny ding on the body, that’s it. Comes with a gig bag. Welcome to come and try anytime. No trades thanks. Edited August 4, 2019 by walshy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybassdoyle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Sorry it didn't work out matey. FWIW I agree, it's a cracker and a great colour. I would have kept it had it been a 4 but there you go.... Just to add to the thread I would say this is a killer bass in that it's exactly what the rest of the band and the punters want to hear. Gobs and gobs of clean phat bass. The preamp is very nice, subtle tone control and nothing radical that changes the bass too much - very similar to the passive bypass other than additional bass/treble. Personally I really liked it in passive, the treble control then acts as a kind of high pass filter I believe. Think it's a glock pre. I've still got your Nate M which I might move on as part of the perfect P hunt, unfortunately I don't think we can go back now but someone will snap this up. I can also testify that Walshy's packing is second to none. I reckon it could survive a month in a war zone no probs...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its a beautiful bass and I won't be sad to hang onto it, the colour is lush! Maybe I should sell the white one instead 🤔 Thanks for the packaging comment 😂 I do try and make sure stuff doesnt get knacked en route to its new owner. Sorry the Nates not working out, That WILL sell quick if you push it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
