By the way, I just weighed my Sandberg California Tm5 Supreme (stringed, w/o strap) and it weighed 4,4 kgs, or 9,7 lbs. Not shabby for a 5'er.
Sharing this info cuz I had trouble finding weight info both on Invalid Link Removed and other sources.

The Bullet has been described as having a Fast Neck, is the nut width on these still 1.5" with wide string spacing as on the TerraBass ?
As it has a thin neck do you think it would still go well with the 4 low end strings of a 5 string for the low B with a .130 ? I'm thinking of doing this to a Bullet Tm.

Hi Sandberg mates!
Acting now in SZMATA (THE RAG) Polish '78-'81 punk-rock revival project to re-create the forgotten songs of the era when the punk music had just started in my country.
Two samples using the Sandberg Basic 4.
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
The Sandberg via G-K MB Fusion. The tone change in the middle bar only achieved by different pick attack.

I'm told that I should use vintage DEFIL basses for authenticity. No way!

'79, the hatless one, and I only played DEFIL acoustic jazz guitar, modded to be an electric ;-)

Here's mine. I picked it up a couple of hours ago.
Tt5, Maple fretboard, Swamp Ash with Natural gloss finish.
and:
and, last one:
I had a VM5 for a while which I returned and got this instead (I wasn't happy with the colour. It was just me being fussy to be honest!).
It really does play beautifully well. Also, it's very light for Swamp Ash - it weighs about 4.3Kg (9 and a half lbs)
I'm already #64, so don't need a number!

Hi all, I recently made some new photos of my beloved california JJ passive. Also, Me and few other bass players made a blind folded test of the sandberg against other passive jazz basses (including vintage fenders). The sandberg got a victory or draw in all the tests, and no loss at all. I've always wanted a vintage jazz bass, but I m so happy i finally got that sandberg.
Hi Folks,
I got myself a shiny new Cal JM5 im Creme/Rosewood. I was looking for a Fender Jazz and then I checked this one. I was sold. It gets better the more time and love I put into it. It just needed a little additional setup (pickup was to low) and new strings.
Here´s a pic....
Number please!!!

Thanks. I am in love with this beauty. Maybe I should also buy a PM5 in creme, same styling. I´ll sell all my other gear for that.
Fun, isn´t it? He´s not the only one, who did so. A lot of german bass players did not give their testing instrument back.
