Great!
Keep us up to date.
Any videos of your Fretless Bullet or the Firlefanz?

[yesitsme]

I rarely find time to record new videos in the moment. And just sold the Fretless I started a new series with Mayones basses a month ago and wanted to release 1 video each week. 1 month is gone... still only 1 video... busy times.

edit:

here we go:

My Sandberg Cali TM (JM) is currently strung with TI flats and playing it with my TecAmp Puma I get a sound that is so close to the sound in my head that its scary! Perfect "vintage-meets-modern" sound for me. My fender p
just sounds so dull compared to my sandy that I hardly play it at all.

Agree 100%. I use TI flats on my VS4 (just the P style pickup) and I have no problem getting that vintage sound. Might have something to do with the Ampeg SVT VR combo tho

Hey Guys,

I want to join your Sandberg Club here.
I have owned this little beauty for about 5-6 Years now, and just recently changed a white Pickguard for this tortoise one!

[SolarMan]

You are very wise to put the tort pickguard on before applying for membership!

That is a killer rig you have there. Living in Germany does have it's advantages!

I found that White got boring after a while and when the active electronics broke down, i took my chance to send my bass in and let the pickguard be changed.

And yeah it has I sold my Ampeg rig for this one, so much more my style

[SolarMan]

I don't have the chance to play Sandbergs here in the USA, but I did install a Delano 4FE/M2 (thanks Reinhard!) after being inspired by the look on a Sandberg bass. The sound is something else...everyone now wants my pickup.

One day Sandberg must come to the shores of America - however I wonder if they will be taxed to death before that can happen?

Next I am thinking about installing the 4 steel pins near the neck pocket - simply because it looks so cool and almost nobody here knows what it is.

Yes, I am building a Sandberg replica!

Sure you can have a number. I'll add you to the list, 86 is yours.

Sorry it took so long, but if your question for one is hidden in a post title I can't help it... Ask properly or pm me if you have been overlooked. No need to make a fuss...

[pedulla-2007]

I simply asked a question. Relax!

Must have misinterpreted your last post!
No hard feelings.

Your California looks great, Sandberg really has an artist aging thir basses. There are a couple of youtube videos where you can see how it's done.

How would you compare the built quality of your Sandberg compared to the higher end models you own Pedulla, Ken Smith, Sadowski, etc.. ?

[pedulla-2007]

Build quality,and attention to detail are a step above any custom shop Fender, and are more durable and road worthy than any Sadowsky. It feels like an old friend, that you can depend on to give you what ever sound you need. I consider myself very lucky to have purchased this bass from a soldier, stationed in Germany. As you know bass players are quirky sorts, that trade and sell their beautiful basses, but this beauty will be with me forever. Thank you for being so gracious, and believe me, when people ask about my sound, I will proudly school them about German craftsmanship! Thanks for the number!

Thanks for your reply. I'm very glad that you enjoy your Sandberg that much. If you get a chance you must try some other models too. Something like a Panther or a Custom Supreme, they are just mindblowing, but not easy to come along one of them, not even in Germany.

Enjoy.
