Didn’t realize this forum was to bump FS threads! Here is my TT5 I’m ready to make a deal on!

For Sale/Trade - Sandberg TT5
I remember seeing this one for sale before you bought it. I like the red color. I'm a sucker for the non-mat/gloss paint jobs!
Are the pickups singles like a jazz or are they the T humbucking singles like in the TMs?

Thanks and GLWTS!

Now is as good a time as any to share Violet with her customized pickguard. I realize spraying a guard is semi sacrilege, but in my defense I did plasti-dip with no sanding then heavy glaze clear. So it's reversible, though getting it off would be quite a task. So far it's held up well.

make that in a 4 string and it is my dream bass. I already have a VM4 but I’d love a violet burst!

Congrats on that beauty!!!

That's a nice feature. I've wondered if I could do that with my TM4 but mine has the Delanos. If anything, just to hear if there is a difference with the back coil.

honestly haven’t played with it much, however you can tell it is definitely brighter when using the back coil and adds some aggressiveness. The front coil is mellower and adds some more mid punch. Excited for the options.
 
Even better. Wish i had that option on my VM4.
That's a nice bass rig you have there. How does the Mesa head sound thru Berg cabs. Its something i've been considering again

When I got the D800 I played it through my Berg CN series cabs, Mesa subway line
, and Aguilar sl. I really like the low mid punch and the fact they are not brittle on top. The Mesa cabs are awesome, but didn’t feel I was missing something and personally preferred the Bergs. Fun part is I have another 12 that I can use for a vertical 4x12 stack since the Mesa will go 2 ohms.

Greetings and salutations.

New (Used) Sandberg owner here.

First off, I love everything about the bass I received - Bought used from a reputable shop here in Europe.

Only thing that is nagging me (As the shop never mentioned it nor was it shown on any pictures) is that, despite only being from 2021, is the DEEP notches in the zero fret. When I say deep I mean nut slot deep.

I googled and found a threat on a UK forum where another owner also had this happen.

Is this normal?

I am going to take it to a luthier that's for sure as the zero fret is in it's current condition not doing anything a zero fret is supposed to (Other than acting as a funky looking nut).

They do notch the zero frets at the factory
