Sandberg 48 in metallic orange and matching reversed headstock - *SOLD* £1490 Upper Norwood, South London

[lapolpora]

I'm selling this hi spec and rather unusual Sandberg 48. Soft core aged from the factory, in metallic orange with cream racing stripes, matching reversed headstock, rosewood fretboard with pearloid blocks.
 

The pickups are actually a P bass style neck, and MM style bridge pickup. The Sandberg preamp is very flexible, with passive mode activated by the pull pot volume knob. It comes with its special shaped gig bag, tools and hangtag.

 

This was originally spec'd and sold by Classical and Cool Guitars. Here is their link for this bass:

The bass is as it was when first bought. I had it up for sale here a few years ago, but then withdrew it. No damage (other than the soft core ageing), and no issues. It's a lovely bass to play, frets levelled polished a couple of years ago, very comfortable and beautifully made. Weight is 4.1kg. Well balanced on your lap.  No noticeable neck dive if you use a good strap. Collection from my home in Crystal Palace, South London preferred, but can post. 

Thanks for looking!

Tastefully pre-dinked, to take all that First Ding tension out of gigging it...and a P-Bass neck pickup? If I wasn't already rocking a Shukerbird at most gigs (oh, and skint), I'd be verrrry tempted. As it is, I'll just dribble a bit at it... 🙂

That is one handsome beast.  GLWTS!

nicest bass of the last few years. absolutely love it.

Stylish, retro, and hand made.  The placement of the MM pickup looks ideal for a nice burpy jazz tone.  Beautiful.
