Hey Doc -
Nice Bass! I've got something similar to that in my magic bag of tricks:
P.S. - Never mind the man behind the curtain.

That is a wild pickguard!
Go check it out. If you lIke it…. You can buy mine. Remember you demoed the 4 string version a short while back for me last time you went to Eddie’s.
I will be watching the CFP playoffs tomorrow so I won’t be going to Eddie’s Guitars to check it out.
I’ve been looking into purchasing a Sandberg TM5 Superlight because I’m getting older and since I heard Otheil Burbage
play one at Music at the Intersection here in St. Louis I really liked the way it cut through the mix and the tone quality was
exceptional. I’ve been watching the YouTube videos by Travis’s Dykes on Godpel Playing and this one has a Nashville bassist playing one
On a tricky double thumb line. Its kinds sealed the deal for me. his line starts at 5:58.

I stalk nice Sandberg basses online all the time. I love that model, I'd probably get the black one but that's just me. Under 9lbs for a 5er, nice!!
I've never played a Sandberg, but they look well made and I like all the videos I've seen about their instruments and the company.
If you go play the bass, get some cool pics! Hey Merry Xmas and Happy New Years to you. Bass on.
Sandbergs are excellent. I’m only letting mine go because I bought a Fodera that does everything I love about the Sandberg but more!!! I know it will sit unplayed. Mine is the black and gold version . This pink one is limited edition and pink is not my color.
I happen to find a Fodera that weighs the same as my Sandberg so I couldn’t pass it up. It was a great deal price wise too.
Sandbergs and EBMM are the best factory basses I’ve experienced. Well worth the money.

Kinda sort but not really !!! I’m not doing a new bass day post or anything like that. Just making it know really how great Sandbergs are. And discussing Fodera in the club to get more familiar with the brand. 
Just another gospel line bass line where the Sandberg VM 5 Super Light rocks my world the magic happens at 7:22

Travis is really developing some creative content.Raphael, with the Sandberg, is sounding very good. I have never been a huge of PJ slap, but Raphael and the guy with the Sire really sound great! That video is also a reminder that how well you play makes a much bigger difference than what you play. I thought the Sandberg sounded better than the Sire, but both of those guys would sound fantastic on a gig.
I'm going to allow someone else the opportunity to buy it. Heh.
Congratulations on the Fodera!!! I played a used Yin Yang 4 earlier this year and really thought hard about buying it, but ultimately didn't. I think it had the best neck I've ever played. Which model did you get?
The Sandberg player and that bass along with the Fodera bass and player really stood out for me. I’ve rewatched this several times now. Hmmm, 
my Sandberg might not be going anywhere.

I got to play a 4 string Ida Nielsen on my last trip to Bass Central. I really liked it!
