It does! And I really like the booster 5 alot so I think they'll be similar in feel. I love the California's as well but it feels harder to play higher up the neck than my booster 5 and spector

Greetings,
I just got this TT4 and I have a few questions. I had a Sandberg Nighthawk 5 once briefly and it was a nice bass, I’d say quality on par with Music Man, super solid, everything as it should be. But this TT4 is a whole different level then anything I’ve had quality wise. I’ve had Lulls, US Lakland and a Fender Custom Shop and this is easily on par with those, the difference is this feels so broken in, yet it’s almost unplayed. I love the tint on the neck!! I notice there is not a stamp on the back of the headstock just a 4 digit serial number in the wood. Is this a standard model? Or some sort of nicer version? Or is Sandberg just that good?? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

As mentioned, it's an earlier model without the Made In Germany sticker. My Ken Taylor basic is the same way. Back in 2016 I emailed Sandberg re that....

"your bass is approx from 2005.
in that time there was no sticker on the backside of the headstock.
but for shure it is a “real” sandberg bass!"

Okay thanks Templar! Their site dates my TT4 as a 2006. The sustain on this bass is so good, and I hear a lot more nuance in my attack. It’s hard to put down!

This could give my new Lull MV4 a run

Hello Sandberg fans-

I have a desert island question. Which would be your preferred combo: A TM4 and VM5 or VM4 and TM5?

Also, does anyone know where in Northern California I can put my hands on a Sandberg? The listed authorized dealers near me don't carry them and I want to try the neck before I spend a bunch of time and money.

I was in the same boat as you. Bananas at Large is a dealer, but never has them in stock. I ordered a TT4 sight unseen and I have no regrets.

Does anybody know what this unreleased bass is?
