Question Sandberg Basic or Terra..which nails it?

Sign in to disble this ad
Of course the Music Man tone is as allusive as a unicorn in a field of 4 leaf clovers, but I would be willing to find a suitable substitute. Seeing as how I have an affinity for the Sandberg product, I wonder what the consensus was regarding this question.

Now truthfully, I prefer the Pre-Ernie Ball sound, but I am sure that would be a stretch to ask for that tone specifically, so I will take what I can get.

Looks like the Terrabass has the pickup closer to the original MM "Sweet spot", but I could be wrong.

Anyone have an answer?

Original sweetspot, Good MM-copy (ie Nordstrand) pickup and the '78-copy pre and you're there.

All good points, but I'm looking for a choice between the two mentioned for a reason. Thanks for the input!
