Probably not that common, Sandberg California lightly reliced, pickups are Klopmmans routed through a Sadowsky preamp. Probably the best bass I have and I have several …
The greatest thing about the Sandbergs are their playability and pressure sound. I will most likely keep mine for the weight alone too. My shoulders always start hurting with medium-heavy basses.
As sweet as it is, I just reach for one of my others. I'll probably keep it if it doesn't sell. It's too nice to give it away.
Good Morning!
I've been lurking, waiting for this Sandberg California II TM6 “Superlight” Satin Black to arrive from the UK:
I've put it through it's paces with some looong rehearsals and 3 live shows. Very impressed. There's an online review that states the ultra-light is somehow a compromise, but I am not seeing that at all. This bass holds its own against anything else I've got.
If this club does numbers, I'd like one.

Beautiful 6 string, I just watched Oteil Burbage play his last evening. The sound coming off the mains was incredible, compared to all the other basses I heard yesterday, the Sandberg had more punch and
articulation along with a full sound. While a lot of that can be contributed to Mr. Burgage's technique and artistry, the Sandberg just plain sounded better than any of the other basses on the same stage. What are the pickups on
your bass, they look like the Bartolini's on my Lakland 55-84's and don't look like the ones they use on the 5 string California. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone think that the ''sweet spot'' pickup would look better as a T Central than the V Central?
I dig it. Gives it that Fender Flea sig bass look.
Yes, Can we get a vote going and send it to Holger? I REALLY wanted this V central to be in the Jazz body style.
I have been in contact with Marc at 2020 regarding this, but nothing happened since then. He never contacted me again.
Sweet! Looks like mine, but mine isn’t a super light.
Ah, I see you too ordered from Hangszerbolt / Music Minutes. Truly was a great experience ordering from them, Zoli was super responsive and helpful and got it shipped quick to the US.
Enjoy, tis' a beauty.

Yep, 2 of my 3 will have come from him. Really is a great seller.
Is it the reverb store or do you reach out to them directly? They show up ok from Europe?
They list some things on Reverb but I don't think they keep all their stock up there. But yes, shipping was great for me, quick and everything was well packed.
I found them while going through pretty much every dealer on the Sandberg dealers pages trying to find some in stock VMs. Sandberg lists them as Music Minutes (same as Reverb store) but it seems they primarily operate under Hangszerbolt.
I reach out off of Reverb. Pricing is substantially lower. I've bought at least 7 basses from Europe and only had one issue with a Sire p7 that fell out of the bottom of the box and was busted up pretty bad. That was a B stock from Thomann, so I question the re-pack job.
