33. Don't Panic Great that you finally got it, enjoy it!
As to trujo777, yes there is a diference between the Delano and Sandberg pickups. Before Sandberg used the Dalanos as standard until they started winding theire own pickups.
I really couldn't hear a significant difference between the two (they are quite similar). The Delanos are not really an upgrade, I think you can get them without extra charge. My sandberg is equipped with the ones from sandberg and I'm happy with them.
The electronics are all from Glockenklang.
If you have any further questions please ask, also there are some videos of Sandberg tests on (www.musik-schmidt.de). To get an idea of the Sandberg sound.
Enjoy!
Both Sandberg and Delano pickups are imho terrible. I had Haeussel custom wounds put in. They made a big difference in clarity and bottom punch, ...

thanks for the response. finally somebody answered my question. now... what would be the price I could expect to pay for that bass i posted pics on on my original question used?
These weren't made with a better camera, but under much better lighting conditions (less noise):

Oh my fudge that's pretty...me want bad!
However,I wish Sandberg brought out more items along the line of this:
JJ4 Passive version.
or my personal favourite, a P4 black on black for under a grand in Germany.
If you want a passive sandberg or a specific color scheme just ask your sandberg dealer. Should be no problem. Hey, I even have non-standard electronics, pickups, body shape (P-Style with JM pickups) and finish (satin black without burst) and no pickguard and it only cost me ~1.4k in Germany.
That's a pretty cool deal. Through which dealer did you order it?

Hey Trujo777.
I think a good price would be around 700 euros, but I'm not quite shure for how much they go usually. You could check on the german ebay (www.ebay.de), search Sandberg and you should get results.
I checked right now and there is a Basic PM on auction, which will finish tomorrow. If you follow on that you might see the end price it goes for. Also usually from time to time they will appear....!

When they put an MM pickup in, is it in the MM standard position, or so the rear coil is in the Jazz position?
thanks for the response. too bad I am stuck at work all day and i have no access to ebay on this computer.
Hey Trujo, I hope you had the chance to check the price of that Basic. Unfotunately I missed it, sorry.
To all other Sandberg fans I seriously advise you to check out www.ebay.de from time to time. Right now there are some really nice offers like a custom shop red JM5, very nice looks. Also one of the first sandberg models is on there to, for a good price. Those old models have a Bartolini humbucker with a 3-band EQ and are very interesting.
I also saw a very rare 6-string.
Sadly enough I havn't got any space to store many basses. Would be great if some of you guys could buy some and sell them to me in the future.
Enjoy.
