Damn, guys. Seeing your Sandbergs is killing me. I’m still waiting. Been almost a frickin year at this point. August will be ONE year since I placed my order with Chicago Music Exchange. It’s not even a masterpiece. Ah, well. Waited this long what’s another month or two...great pics though . Keep em coming!

any of you guys have the push/pull active/passive function on your basses? if so could you shoot me a pic of the pot/wiring? i have had the bass i posted above for quite a while and have never tried to put it into passive as its not my bag. i was bored the other day and tried to engage/pull the knob up but it wouldn't budge. per sandberg this exact bass does have the active/passive feature but maybe the previous owner swapped out the pots/functionality.
on a side note i have another sandberg that got delivered today just waiting to be unboxed at home
It looks something like this (the second pot form the right):

Yeah they do look very cool but I like your new one tbh, I’d like to Black it out... the fret board looks awesome.
Did I post this one? Can't find it, apologies if you've seen it before...
Sandberg TM5, goldplated, from 2006 or something, a bass I come back to again and again, it is an amazing bass (though a bit heavier than "modern" Sandbergs).

Thanks!
It's callded "gold plated" and you can find it under "optional" in the configfurator
It is actual gold foil over a red base coat, then clearcoated, looks even better in person and works wonderfully on stage
I would love to see it!
edit: oups it' s goldy! Wow!!!!!!!Are you sure about your year?
Hi folks
My " Bullet Special" (see pic in post #1570) has a 23xx number. I recieved it new in summer 2004!
I won' t forget the year, Holger Stonjek showed me his workshop.
Sandberg were building around 300 to 350 basses per year back then.
So a bass in the 21xx can be an early 2004 or a late 2003.
glad I could help!
