Sandberg Bass the World Edition - *SOLD* £1375 London/Reading

[HoorayForAnonyms]

My move to exclusively playing short scales continues and this one will likely hurt. This is the last long scale I own and ended my search for THE passive jazz bass. 
 

Sandberg make great instruments but this California TT Bass the World edition is really something special. 
 

The vintage-voiced Kloppman ‘64 pickups that come as stock with these special edition basses elevate it to a growly, grindy funk machine. 
 

This example is from early 2024 and in ‘as new’ condition except some swirling on the pick guard. It also comes with all the case candy including original hang tags! 
 

Full spec below including weight but first some video and pictures - 

 

A short video of the actual bass for sale: 

 

This is possibly the most recorded bass on YouTube with Gregor from Bass the World regularly featuring this edition on the Bass the World demo videos. 
 

I’ve selected a few videos below but there are dozens more on the Bass the World YouTube channel! 
 

 

Price includes shipping across the UK. I will also ship in new Thomann hardcase which should offer the protection needed. I can also give the original Sandberg soft case if collecting in person. 

 

You are also welcome to pop by to try the bass out if local to Reading or I’m happy to meet up in London. 
 

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Sorry not to be a buyer, just an admirer, but this is just gorgeous. 

If I hadn't already spent money on my 60th birthday present, this definitely would have been it.

Thanks for getting back to me. Can I ask why you’re selling? The bass looks brand new!

I’ve switched to playing short scales is the main reason. And I reduced the number of bases too. And it basically is brand new! 

[Karen Smith]

Great! Would you be able to accept a PayPal payment or prefer bank transfer?

[Buddster]

Glad you're buying it, it's a lovely bass

[Karen Smith]

Can’t wait to play it!
