It's a lovely instrument. I don't slap much if at all. I have large hands but no sausage fingers so the slim neck feels good. The Aguilar pickups are quite dynamic and I like the preamp, especially the mid frequency selector.
I'd be aggrieved having to buy a cheap bass off Amazon for the drunk greasy dipsticks to play. I'd sooner scour charity shops or car boot sales for something with 2 strings and a bowed neck with 1 inch action and a flaky pickup that only works half the time.
The latest update in the local newspaper says people were spotted inside packing stock into boxes. I guess they didn't find a buyer then.

I was in Badlands recently trying out a used but mint Squire 40th Jazz. The owner and I sat and chatted about the whole Fender standard move. Nice chap, great shop. But please someone go buy that Jazz and save me from my GAS.
My 3D bridge is a pleasure to adjust compared to my Sandberg. Setting the intonation on it once was enough. I'm never changing it again, and I don't care if new strings, or a truss rod adjustment put the intonation out. Nothing wrong with a standard Fender bridge IMO. It's basic but it works.
So to answer the OP question - all Sandbergs should use a basic L shaped bridge.
Yeah I just realised. What was I thinking? Lol. I've had a hard couple of days. It's late, I'm tired. It won't happen again 😂
Let it be known, I am a bass player first and foremost. Always have been, always will be.
Low end FTW.
