Subbeh Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I expected to have to replace the one I had but was very impressed with it when I got it. Very decent bag for the price. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1436180419' post='2815586'] Apparently Sandberg prices are due to drop! Due to the Euro...must be a first in a long time to see a price drop on new instruments. [/quote] I've ordered one this morning, the price was just stupidly good and I'm so bloody excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Out of curiosity what gauge strings are people using on their Sandbergs? Mine still has its factory strings on, which felt stiff as hell, but are apparently only 40-100. I've been dabbling with 45-105 on my other basses, and i'm liking the extra thump they give. Now the Sandberg is nearly ready for a string change, i'm thinking that 45-105 might be a good thing, though at the risk of upsetting the millimetre perfect factory set up. Hmm.

[/quote] yeah mine came with a black and red Sandberg deluxe gig bag. Seems fine - its a gig bag. No more, no less. Nicely firm and padded, makes for a very light way of carrying a very light bass.

Mylkinut Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Here's my PM4 in surf green, which I think is a discontinued colour. Plays beautifully and sits in the mix very nicely indeed!

GrammeFriday Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Wow! Love it. I already had serious KT gas before seeing this picture - now it is going off the scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nice! Unusual too. Possibly the greatest 'all-rounder' basses ever IMHO. I love mine and wish I'd never sold the black one I had too.... The necks on the Basic and Classic series are just incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 By the way, you may already know folks, but the Forty Eight is on the configurator too now. Think I've still got GAS for a simple Basic 5 though really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Picked up a Claifornia VM in Trans Black from Great British Bass Lounge - used it for rehearsal the same day and it's a winner.

Lysdexia Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 My new Sandberg California II TM4 Gold Top. [attachment=228090:Gold TM4 angle body.jpg] [attachment=228091:Gold TM4 face on.jpg] It's a joy to play and sounds even better than I'd hoped for - sensational basses. Premium quality, perfectly set up via their PLEK system and all that at a decent price. I absolutely love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) "..... a rather special custom bass, at least the unusual 1pickup configuration: we built "this kind of" bass a couple of times. Trevor Bolder from Uriah Heep ordered a 1-singlecoil California some years ago, maybe that inspired some others... who knows. I'm not sure if we ever built a fretless in a similar 1pickup style. Other than the pickup it's a California TT4 (would be a T4, to be correct) Rarewood Edition. Specs are: Mahogany body Cocobolo top maple neck rosewood fretboard 22 frets Pearloid dot inlays black hardware Delano pickup (hum-cancelling) Glockenklang 3Bd EQ the EQ is active/passible switchable and the treble knob is a passive tone control in passive mode. unique custom bass (from Gregor / Holger - Sandberg) Edited October 4, 2016 by eubassix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
