GreeneKing Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Now £899 This is a really nice bass. Beautifully made with a great tone especially with the full John East Uni Pre. Since I collected my 32" scale Zoot it has only been picked up a couple of times and this is only a reflection on how much a medium scale suits me better. It is a custom built Sandberg but not originally built for me. I guess it was commissioned with someone's 50th birthday in mind. The woods are stunning. The grain makes me think Wenge although I'll bow to those more knowledgeable. There's wedge and bubinga going on methinks. The zero fret compliments a fairly jazz proportioned neck and the fretwork is excellent with low wear. This is simply a superb bass. Being the woods it is, it's about 10lbs on my bathroom scale. The controls, from the neck are Volume, Balance, Treble over Bass with a pull bright setting, Mid sweep and finally a Passive tone (that works in active) with a pull for passive. I'm happy to let the lovely Harvest strap go with the bass if a buyer wants it. It's just right in my opinion. Dunlop strap fittings. I don't have a hard case. I only have one gig bag to my name and no boxes so shipping is an issue. I'm happy to meet up a reasonable distance away. I'm in the far flung NW of England. I'd certainly consider trades for a 32" scale bass. Viewing welcomed as is having a noodle Peter Edited December 19, 2021 by GreeneKing 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 I’ve just bought, on impulse a short scale bass. So this needs to be sold. Reduced to £949. I understand that shipping is an issue but if you send me a hard case I’ll ship for that price. This is to me a bit of a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I've just spent nearly £35 unsuccessfully on an eBay sale (such is the price of having a reserve). I played this bass last night and it emphasised to me just how good it is, how well it is made and it's condition. So another price reduction. If needs be it'll stay because it is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
