Hi,

Could any of you knowledgeable Sandberg players help me out with my question in this thread (Sandberg-related but separate as not to "pollute" this one):

Which Sandberg bass is closest to the Cort Arona?

Thanks!

I just looked at the Arona and I would say the Bullet or the basic basses. I tested a Ken Taylor once but at the time my pockets couldn't handle the price.

On a Lake Placid Blue Sandberg... Would you choose a parchment or white pickguard?

Parchment as its not as stark.

What do you mean by "stark"?

Indeed !

Heck yeah I'll take a number. I don't think I'll ever sell this bass. Unless times are financially hard. LOL

Here you go! Enjoy that Sandberg

Parchment looks better. Pics made with the Sandberg Configurator.

Looking at Bullet basses as a potential "upgrade" from my Cort Arona, I came across the following: the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. It looks quite nice and the price seems OK. Can anyone comment on the Bullet Special and the dual humbucker configuration? Am I right in assuming that the humbuckers can also be switched to single coil?

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone here know how Sandberg came up with their logo?

That thing is just so damn cool.

Yours inspired me!
Beautiful bass...

 

[Ian774]

Sandberg's mint pickguards are way too green IMO... Parchment on LPB will be my decision then.

Soon to be in my hands

 

[Ian774]

Is that a 70's bridge pickup position?

 

[AdriaanVB]

Definately looks like 70s spacing, is that a TT4 passive?

A white Marlow DK model with matching headstock

 

[Ian774]

Which proves once again that their signature models can be "customized".

Well, actually the bass i ordered is considered by Sandberg as a customized TSBS...

 

[Klonk]

Nice. Didn't know they did that
