CLOVER/SANDBERG Germany Paragon 4 - Trans Green, Delano Pups, Rare - $850 shipped

Sign in to disble this ad
Note: please post all questions, inquiries, etc on this "megathread": Survivor: Bass Island - 30 Days, 29 basses for sale, only one will remain - Updated!

This is a rare bass...only a few hundred ever made. The Paragon is a product of a short lived collaboration between Clover Basses and Sandberg in Germany (hence the C/S logo on the headstock). Ash body, maple neck, rosewood board, dual Delano bucker pickups and Clover preamp. 34" scale, neck plays like a Stingray w/a flatter radius fingerboard. Newer Rotosound stainless strings on it.

Bass is in great shape aside from a few dings (biggest one is on the butt, pictured below). Some finish chips on the headstock and very light scratches on the body. Neck/frets are near perfect. Currently, the blend pot is not working properly because the previous owner replaced it and put the wrong type of pot in (and wired it incorrectly). I have received a wiring diagram from Clover and going to have it rewired. If you're handy with electronics (which I am not), I'll knock $50 off the price and you can redo it yourself.

Selling for $850 shipped ($800 if you take it as-is). International shipping is no problem, PM me for a quote. PayPal preferred.

thats a beautiful bass, but the string spacing looks a little funny to me...have you had it checked or adjusted?

I believe it's an ABM bridge.

The string spacing is adjustable. I had the saddles unlocked at the time I took the pictures (was tweaking the action/messing w/shims etc). I already adjusted the spacing back to standard. Good catch!
