    the neck measures depend on when the bass was built. before 2013 every neck was made by one of the 3 guys who made necks @ sandberg. At this time every neck felt different. Last year they started to make the neck profiles with a CNC router. This year they had some internal changes and the new...

    nice! I just think the control plate looks a bit too damaged compared to the body finish... nonetheless - nice job!

    thanks guys! I've seen the short notes in the ampeg book, but there's really not much to find out. The mixonline page bares any info about the SB-12 and time is too tight to let them search their database. Anyway, no info is an info too :) It's the secret little brother of the B15 and the rest...

    hey guys! I'm working on an article about my SB-12 for a german bass magazine. I'm looking out for as much info as I can find. Do you know some good records this amp was used for? or any other interesting facts besides the regular specs? thanks in advance!

    yes they do! they're making the string action slightly more even in this way. it's just a thing for the very first fret. but good to know. many bassists often think their new sandberg is used when they see it.

    the gotoh bridge was installed at the factory. the holes for the screws are at different places. but that's just a minor thing.... they will always be hidden under the bridge, no one will ever see the modification kloppmann are authentic fender vintage replacements. häussel has more...

    the MarloweDK bass has an authentic 70s pickups spacing, the TSBS is a bit different from what I know. It should be none of the traditional positions. Torsten, they guy who got it as signature bass, tried all kind of positions on a pickups test bass and picked individual ones. btw. the...

    the J pickup in bridge position is always hum-free, except if you're ordering especially with the AlNiCo pickups. the standard pickups have 2 coils

    thanks! I bought the amp from a passionate Vintage dealer and they checked it before they put it up for sale. So it's all fine. changing preamp tubes is not a big deal, no BIAS, I think that's where I will start. So the preamp is loaded with regular 12AX7's or is there anything special about it...

    Hi guys! I just bought a '66 SB12. I'm astonished about its sound. Very clean, almost like a warm sounding solid state, but it has this... don't know how to describe. It's in perfect condition, all original. Since I'm a fan of natural tube compression (and the SB12 is rather clean) I'd like...

    a normal matt or highloss bass takes 8-10 weeks. $/5 months is for special colors and aged stuff.

    you can get a pickguard from every sandberg dealer. sure, the most won't have them in stock but at least they can order from sandberg (and sandberg ships immediately). and btw, everyone @ sandberg speaks english :) if you want to get faster replies I can only suggest to contact them via Fb...
