NBD - Sandberg Lionel

[Lozz196]

Just got myself this little beauty today. Had been looking for a 7-pounder (or under) and this came up at exactly 7lbs. Although it’s heavier than my Superlight TT I’m finding that playing full scale basses standing up is becoming a bit of a stretch hence my search.
 

Got it from Guitar Village, my first time of dealing with them which I have to say was excellent. 

Sounds and plays beautifully, as I’d expect. I’m not really into fake relicing or blocks but somehow these just seem to really suit this bass.

Very nice! I’ve never played one but I’ve only heard good things about Sandberg.

Enjoy!

That looks amazing!

Sandberg do the best relic jobs in the industry.

Congrats Lozz, it looks great and I think the relicing is very tasteful

That’s lovely! Pretty much my ideal Lionel spec 🙂

That's a handsome looking bass Lozz, with so much of everything, character, mojo, presents and a real keeper.

What about a dark red tort pick guard?

That’s a good shout, may well look into that

Sandberg’s online shop won’t ship to the UK since the “thing” so if you want a different ‘guard it will have to be a special order via a UK dealer.

 

Or get someone else to make one.
