M@23 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Did a deal on this with a good friend, but we had to call it off. So, it’s now back with me for another half-hearted attempt to part with it! it’s a wonderful jazz V, that I love but don’t really need, which is why I’ve not resorted to eBay yet. Which will probably be my next step as I’d like to put the cash elsewhere. It has a great sound and it plays like a dream. The action is low the length of the fretboard without any buzzes or rattles. It really is very well setup and very stable. It’s typical Sandberg quality, handmade in Germany and features a Norwegian maple neck, cedar body, aluminium hardware, Black Label pickups coupled with Sandberg’s usual 2 band EQ. The volume pot also acts as a push/pull to bypass the preamp and run in passive mode. It weighs in at 2.9kg, but balances exceptionally well. The weight savings run across the bass. It is NOT a case of lightweight body but everything else remains the same. It balances very well, just happens to be significantly lighter than average! I can include an as-new Music Area aa35 case, which is a hard case/gigbag hybrid, costing £160 new, as well as the Sandberg gig bag. Trades, please message me. Particularly interested in other Jazz 5s alongside cash, or short scales. Edited April 9, 2022 by M@23 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That is a truly lightweight bass, lighter than many short-scales - GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiveringbass Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Pretty much what I'm looking for... unfortunatly it seems that taxes and duties between UK and Europe are just prohibitive, especialy on second hand private sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes… that whole situation. A shame. If you can find one in your area I’d wholeheartedly recommend them. Weight aside, they’re just really great jazz basses. The low B is fantastic too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
