JensWest Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Have you made that string through your self...?
aryustailm Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 @tombboy - I had one of the Elite series (80s active P). Fantastic bass, but I think I'd be looking for something with a flavour I haven't tried yet. That Special looks like a beautiful bass though! @JensWest - no! I'd never attempt any DIY on such a nice bass! Bass wise, I generally prefer passive instruments and tend to gravitate towards Jazz variants (and P / J). Ideally after an Aguilar DB212 though.. Thanks for looking.
G-funk45 Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 What a beaut. Alas I have nothing to trade but if a buy it price comes up, I might very well have it.
spacecowboy Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 What an amazing plank of wood! Looks gorgeous!
aryustailm Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 Now for sale at £700 collected! (Or a trade for an Aguilar DB410)
G-funk45 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Can you split the bridge pick up and if so, how close to a single jazz pick up sound can it get?

[quote name='www.sandberg-guitars.de']Split Switch: the pickup split switch splits the humbucker (bridge pickup) to a single coil pickup (only neck direction coil working).

It can do a great single coil Jazz bass sound, in the slightly more modern sounding scale of things . You could struggle if you're hoping to nail an authentic Jaco tone and match a vintage Fender exactly - but then lots of Fenders don't even nail that. It'll get you into that territory no doubt, and sounds (to my ears) more along the lines of a 70's Jazz than a 60's one. But the whole approach of the Sandberg to me, is that it's a sincere tip of the hat to Fender, but isn't scared to break out of the tradition, a little Ultimately, it depends where your tastes lie. It sounds great in it's own right, but might only get you 85% bridge pup Jaco ?! Edited August 26, 2010 by aryustailm

Lateniteradioboy Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 [quote name='aryustailm' post='925926' date='Aug 15 2010, 10:18 PM']Hi all, I'm looking to trade my Sandberg JM5. It's a fantastic bass, switch-able between active and passive with one of my favourite necks on it, making it lovely to play. Specs at: [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calj-series/caljm"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-ove...lj-series/caljm[/url] My main reason for parting with it is I have another 5 string that I'm also very happy with. I don't *need* two, and I'm really after an Aguilar DB212 or DB410 at the moment. I'd be interested in a trade plus some cash, depending on the condition of the cab (I'm going on the fact that a new DB212 is around £700, and a new JM5 is £1000+). Sandberg gig bag is included. Having said that, I could probably be tempted by other fine basses... ( who couldn't ?! ) I'm based in SE London. Thanks for looking.

Would you be willing to trade for this little beauty of mine?

pete.young Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Ah , I recognise that nicely figured top - this was PTP's old one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38300"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38300[/url] which explains why it has string-through. Is it still for sale?

swanbrook Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Hi I have a 93 jazz in very good condition or a 2005 p bass in great condition with a bad ass 3 bridge and flat wounds on both USA. Do either of them grab you ?
aryustailm Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 Thanks for the interest all! PMs should be replied to. I'm looking to sell only now. elsharko, I've just measured it and it's 34" scale. Cheers.
