***Sold***Sandberg Basic 5 £495

SANDBERG BASIC 5
Something has taken my eye and applying the "one out before one in rule", am seeing if there is any interest in my Sandberg Basic 5
It is in good condition, finished in Blueburst, and with a maple fingerboard. The odd "ding" as this really a players bass. it was recently set up by Steve Robinson and a new set of Elites fitted. It is the version with the Noll 3-band pre-amp, (Cut/Boost on Bass/Middle/Treble), and has a Coil Tap switch fitted allowing the Delano MM pick-up to be set either Series/Parallel or Single Coil. The Vol control has "Pull for Passive" option, invaluable if your battery dies mid gig. It has a very defined, clear sound and does the typical Stingray sound really well. Set up with a low action, and the neck is the nicest one I have ever played. The build quality is excellent! Looking for £495 for it.

If the Bass I am interested in sells, I will probably withdraw this. It is such a dream to play.
Cheers,
Stuart

I really, really love these basses. Don't sell it mate, they are brilliant and worth far more in terms of an instrument than the price you'd get.

If my Sandberg PM4 sells and this is still availible, consider it sold. I'm really feeling the 5's at the moment.

The neck looks superb, I assume the zero fret is present?

It is indeed, on both counts. The frets were all polished when Steve did the set-up.

In that case, I certainly need mine to sell then. I'll be in touch.
