I did exactly what you want to do. I put the Tone Capsule in my TM4 and kept the tone control in passive mode. Now I'm much happier with the sound, because the two perfect mid controls use a lot more than the original EQ with the treble control, especially when trying to imitate the Stingrtay sound.

As I am aware, Fender wrote this on their web site about the tone control on the Performer: ''This uniquely Fender tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or “muddying” your sound, preserving your carefully shaped tone.'' While making the video I heard the difference, and I can explain it so that the Fender makes the sound less muddy, and Sadowsky keep more bass whet turn the tone pot all the way off.

I have not played Sadowsky Japan, but have an opportunity last week to have new German MetroLine Sadowsky series in my studio, so I made an comparison to Fender Performer PJ. Here it is.

Here is a link for Bogoworkshop if anyone is interested in California II TM4Thumbrest https://bogoworkshop.com/shop/guitars_bass_guitars/accessories/bass_thumb_rest_ramps/thumbrest-for-sandberg-california-tm4/

My new Gallien Fusion 800 with tube preamp is a killer machine. Would love to try and compare it with Mesa Boogie Subway WD 800.

Hi guys From the first day when my Sandberg arrived it was difficult for me to get used to the H+S pickup combination regarding thumbrest. It's ok to hold it on a humbucker or single pickup, but the sweetest sound spot for me is somewhere in between, a bit closser to the humbucker. ...so I made a custom 3D printed thumbrest. Here is how it looks 🙂

Love my TM4 Hardcore Reserved Custom Order

Beautiful basses, just one Jazz pickup to much for my taste 👍

Just saw one pre 2015 TT4 today at my local web ads... https://www.kupujemprodajem.com/muzika-i-instrumenti/bass-gitare/sandberg-tt4-jazz-bass/oglas/138996316?filter_id=1490477318

Which one would you choose and why if you were forced to keep only one of them?

Love that teal green!

Few questions about California Oliver Riedel and Sandberg Configurator (still without answer on TB): Can Anyone confirm that California Oliver Riedel ''Special Hardcore Aged'' finish implies Thermo Treatment? There is a little doubt for me regarding Aged levels and Thermo Treatment in the latest configurator. At the ''old'' configurator Soft and Hardcore aged levels did not include Thermo neither the Vibro treatment. Hardcore Reserve level included only Thermo, and Masterpiece level included both Thermo and Vibro treatment (next to the visual differences). At the ''new'' configurator, You can add roasted option for the neck next to the Aged level You first need to choose. So if I choose Hardcore Reserve or Masterpiece (that should include Thermo treatment), why I can also add the ''roasted'' option for the neck (it also raise the price)? Before I ordered my TM4 Hardcore reserve in 2019 I contacted Sandberg and got the email from Holger, who answered to my question and said that in Thermo treatment (at that time) all the wood for a bass is roasted, Neck, fingerboard and body wood. That puts me in a quandary! So my questions again: What does ''Special Hardcore Aged'' means in relation to the California Oliver Riedel? Does California Oliver Riedel implies Thermo Treatment? Why ''Roasted'' option is available in configurator even if Hardoce Reserved or Masterpiece is first choosen? Thank You very much .

Here is one cool piece from Thomann. Just spent some time with it ...💥

Small combo with BIG sound!

I just had one of Mark Bass combo CMD 121P in my studio and made a comparison video with my GK Fusion combo. Maybe it will help You decide. It is not in a live gig but maybe it would be helpful.

I had two MB series Combos. The second one I had MB212 combo was fan cooled, and the fan was very loud. Played on low volume im my room I was always unhappy with the very loud fan, and I sold it because of that. On the other hand, I like GK sound so much to buy a new Fusion series combo. It is absolutely brilliant!

After a lot of misunderstandings, I made a video about the Sandberg Bass bridge. Hope You will enjoy it 🙂.

Yes

Got an GK Fusion 112 Combo few days ago, and here is the Sound test I made 🙂. Hope You will enjoy the video and found it interesting. Since the video is audio-oriented, these are my short non sound impressions: Firts thing that I noticed while unpacking is the new ultra-tough cabinet coating which I really liked. Different then the lining on the models before, as plastic and kind of a glittering. It really feels durable. Strange notice - ''stby'' led lamp lights always while amp is plugged in to the power and turned off. Led shuts down when You turn on the amp. Similar to a red/green TV led, but not common for amps. I would realy love that Turn on/off switch is located at some more accessible place. It's hard to reach at the lower back of the combo, next to a bunch of other switches while You are holding Your instrument or the amp is on the floor etc. The control buttons are easy to access and nicely designed, but some of them feels a bit loose. Front metal grill looks cool and it's firmly leaning on three rubber pads, but still shaking hardly and gives humming noices on louder volume (more then 12 o'clock on Normal and Master or more bass EQ added). Slight touch on the grill eliminates those noises which are not coming from the speaker! IMO the amp have to much power, but not enough largeness to deliver it without the extension box (as the manual say - optimum power when using external cabinets). However it is loud enough by itself to play next to a loud drummer - proofs at the end of the video. A brief review of the footswitch: Precise workmanship and briliant simple appearance. Robust and durable and at the same time elegant. I love it! Surprisingly not branded anywhere. At the end, there is no lighter, more compact and more powerful Combo amp on the market as I am concerned, with multiple great tonal capabilities. GK strikes again!

Here are three different Pbasses I recorded just yesterday. Hope You will enjoy the sound 😊.

This is one of the most beautiful Sunburst colors I have ever seen

Here is my pedalboard with the latest updates. Thanks for watching!

Which one You prefer, standard or Special Ray and why ?
