aryustailm Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateniteradioboy Posted September 7, 2010 Share 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 Share 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.
