jrixn1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Sandberg California II Superlight TT5 Original asking price £1050; now £925. Sale only; no trades. Update 23rd Aug: Now sold Bought new by me in August 2019. Bass is in Bristol if you want to collect, or I can possibly deliver, or meet you halfway, or can post in a Hiscox hard case. This Superlight weighs only 3.3kg, or 7lb 3oz. It balances nicely as the neck is also made from a lighter wood, as well as the body. It was originally active but converted to passive with a KiOgon loom, with series mode push/pull on the tone knob; good range from bright to dark. The original side-mount jack socket is disconnected. The cedar body is softer and there are some imperfections but they're not that visible unless you go looking for them, and quite hard to photograph. Couple of small dings on the edge (see photos). Details of bass: Made in Germany. Weight: 3.3kg Body: cedar, tobacco sunburst. Neck: maple Fingerboard: pau ferro, 14" radius Nut width: 45mm Scale: 34" Pickups: Sandberg Controls: neck volume, bridge volume, passive tone (push/pull for series mode) Includes a Sandberg gig bag (very good condition), or a Hiscox hard case (used condition).

itu Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I am not able to make the expected move, but I would still love to know the spacing in the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the bass to hand, but the specs say adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrixn1 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Bass is in Bristol if you want to collect, or I can possibly deliver/meet halfway, or can post in a Hiscox hard case. Some clips attached. The first half of each clip is playing along to a backing track; then the second half is just the isolated bass. both-pickups.mp3 bridge-pickup.mp3 neck-pickup.mp3 series-mode.mp3 Edited August 15, 2021 by jrixn1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrixn1 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Price lowered to £925. The light weight makes it really great for gigging — I can't see myself going back to anything over 3.5kg. Reason for selling is just that I prefer P basses to jazz basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
