lapolpora Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Sold pending payment. Thanks for all the interest and nice comments. I didn't go to Bass Day, but I still have the GAS so up for sale is my Sandberg California PM4 in near mint condition. It's a beautiful bass, build quality is outstanding. The only blemishes are what I would call fingernail scuffs on the pickguard, a couple on the back and a couple on the back of the neck. I have done my best to photo them but they don't show up well - in reality you can only see these under the "microscope". The body is actually slightly smaller than a Fender P. The neck feels more Jazz like as well - slim and fast. I see this as a P bass for J bass players but you might think differently. The bass comes with a Rockbag gigbag so would need to be collected from my home in Crystal Palace, South London. Possible to deliver or meet halfway if it's not going too far. Price - £650. I may be interested in trades for a 5 string of the Sandberg, Zon, Vigier, Sadowsky quality with cash adjustment. Cheers, Derrick Edited November 27, 2009 by lapolpora

neilb Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 That is wonderful. £100 and I will mow your lawn aswell?
BigBeatNut Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Verrrry nice ..... I see a 5-string one of those in my future Have a bump Andy
Soloshchenko Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Great bass. I've never played a Sandberg I didn't love.

I didn't have the money when Geoff sold it but was lucky when NGH moved it on. It is a lovely bass, the lightest bass I've owned and with a very balanced sound across the range. I'll miss it - but if I told you what I was buying in its place you'd understand why I've decided to sell.

Davetbass Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 The best £650 you'll ever spend!! Didn't know Sandberg did Maple boards as I'd never seen one even on the bloody website!! The photos of this bass made me feel sick! Anyway, they are great basses and I'd have this in a second if funds permitted. Have a bump on me Dave

dave_bass5 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Was thinking of getting one of these when i get rid of my DJ5 but for now i cant do anything as i cant make my mind up if i can go back to 4 string. Good luck with the sale, hope it comes up again in the new year :-)
niceguyhomer Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 This bass is probably what you're searching for Dave. If it had 5 strings, I wouldn't have dreamed of selling it.

Saying that i know for about £150 you can get the neck with block inlays. I quite fancy that as well. Oh well, lets see who gets it this time around and how long it takes him/her to sell it. Its certainly a better option than getting a Duck Dunn. Love the fact that its not a P neck as well. Edited November 25, 2009 by dave_bass5
niceguyhomer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 WTF is this still doing here? It should have a queue of people fighting over who was first
lapolpora Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 Lots of lust. But no love yet. Friday evening bump
