Mace Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) EDIT - SOLD Bought this here for £700 so would want the same back, she's still in lovely condition and plays like a dream - the tone options available are amazing, does P, J and MM easily and is a real head turner. Also included in the sale is heavy duty Sandberg bag. Pictures below are from the previous owner's ad (cheers Pete!), nothing's changed since I've owned it as I've only gigged it twice, otherwise I'd been at home getting the odd spank so she's probably wasted on me EDIT - I'm also semi-open to trade suggestions but am pretty fussy/specific so would only be interested in 5 strings of a smiliar value/quality along the lines of Warwick Corvettes/Thumbs, a Gary Willis signature Ibanez + £££, or rosewood necked Stingrays... not looking for another Jazz sorry Will post at buyer's expense/risk although would prefer collection from Bristol - could meet/deliver somewhere on the way from Bristol and Chipping Norton in the week, if it's not too far out of the way too...

P-T-P Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Great bass and Ieuan is a top bloke too, even if he is a numpty and didn't swap this for my Corvette when I had it for sale lol
cLepto-bass Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Awesome looking bass. If I hadnt already bought myself the JJ5, I'd be all over this.
PauBass Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Very tasty bass you have there Sir! What's the neck like on this bass? I mean, rounded Fender type, flat ala Lakland... Do you know the string spacing?

[url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calj-series"]check this out [/url] in the meantime? The neck is a bit wider than my old 5 string Stingray, with a similar profile and a smidge shallower I reckon but this is just a guess/feeling without the two being in my possession to compare Hope this helps!

Was a lovely bass to play too, really opened my eyes to Warwick...
bassatnight Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I have the 4 string version; its a dream - Have a bump from me for a fantastic bass!

Shockwave Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Really lovely jazz but the scale length is a bit too much
