WOW! Great to have another Terra in the club! Finally.
Tell me you're thoughts about the bass, are you using it in BEAD or standard?

Atoni you're number is 28. Welcome.

Thanks! Terra is a real good bass, as all Sandbergs are. I use it in drop tuning. Mainly in CGCF and for some songs BGCF (no need to drop other strings). Let's see if I'll acquire the Basic too ;)

Live pics will be added later
 
Shure BartS you may join the club! Just please don't forget to post some pics of you're JM4. You get number 29.

Well, here they are:

I've just bought myself a Sandberg Basic 4 string as no.2 to my Wal...
What it's done is show up how badly set-up the Wal is - I desperately need to get it sorted by someone who knows what they're doing! The Sandberg is so easy to play with a gorgeous warm tone.. Hasn't got the tonal range of the Wal but will certainly be a worthy fill-in while the Wal's being fixed.

Nice that you bought it on the end! They give a good couple and I bet you'll enjoy it.
Hope for you that the Wal gets fixed soon!
 
Everybody, meet the new love of my life: my Bubinga top Ken Taylor 5 (I thought I'd see more of these here. . . am I really only the second one??). I just picked her up last week, and I haven't set this bass down since. Undoubtedly gonna be the last bass I buy for a looooooong time. (My GOD these things play sweet. . . ) Anyway, happy to be part of the club!

That Ken Taylor is very sweet!!! Nice buy, and yes you are only the second.

You're number would be 30.

Enjoy!
 
Hmmm... i didn't have a number ? See p.8

I'm very sorry! You get number 31 straight away.

Yes the Thinline is amazing, I just somehow can't get over the looks of it. That contrast of the walnut and maple just dosn't work for me.

Still great bass and I highly recomend it to anyone who is looking for a very very special Fretless Semi-Acoustic sound.
Don't forget that the new models have a 3-band EQ, and a Delano Extender pickup (the oval one). So you can have hunderts of variations of this unique sound!
 
Sandberg California JM-5 (with PM-5 body):
Delano Hybrid system
Delano Sonar 2-band electronics
Satin matte black (no burst)
Maple/maple neck
European ash body

(sorry for the bad pic quality, I plan to make some soundclips to make up for it :) )
