Details

I am reluctantly selling this beautiful Sandberg TM5, 34 inch scale, creme with block inlays. The bass is soft aged (mildly reliced), so it has a few minor nicks and dings and a beautiful tint to body and neck. I am usual not a friend of reliced guitars, but this is very tastefully done. I am the 2nd owner, I don't know if any additional dings were added before I bought it, but it would not make a difference. This bass has the mojo of a well loved but not abused vintage Fender. I tried to document everything in the photos. It plays and sounds fantastic. Trussrod works and frets have plenty of life. Based on the serial number it was built in 2019, weight is 8.9 pounds. Bass will come in its original Sandberg gig bag.

$1750 local sale, $1,900 shipped to the lower 48, Paypal F&F only, no returns.
Need to move this for cash since I need to make some space, no trades at this time. I am located in Cherry Hill, NJ for anybody who is interested in a local deal. I am willing to drive up to around 50 miles to meet half way for a local sale.

Beautiful bass! I have a TM-5 in red otherwise I'd be interested, I'm a sucker for white/creme w/ tort PG.

Can you split the coils on the humbucker and do a 60s jazz vs 70s jazz thing with the neck pickup?

Yes you can split the humbucker. Currently there is a two way switch that allows you to toggle between the neck facing coil and humbucker mode. Would be a fairly easy mod to replace that with a 3 way switch that toggles between neck, humbucker and bridge. The bridge facing coil is 14 7/8th inches from the 12th fret (70s position), the neck facing coil 14 inches (slightly closer to the neck than 60s). The neck pickup is in standard Jazz Bass position. The volume pot is push/pull for active/passive mode.

That's awesome. I keep falling in love with these Sandbergs more and more. I wish I could get my hands on one locally.

Just dropped the price one last time, I will keep the bass before I go any lower.
Now is the time :-)

Just put this back up for sale since I was away over the holidays and wasn’t in a position to ship.
