Fender custom shop vs sandberg masterpiece

[Pantofolaio79]

Thank you. I am considering both right now. Do you have pictures of your Sandberg?

Of course, I attach immediately .. in fact I am considering the purchase of another Sandberg

I have a Masterpiece TT4 and a Fender CS 57P Collection
Both have maple fretboards and alder bodies
But Jazz vs Precision... Different neck shapes and different pickups, so I don't know how to compare
But personally, I think Fender CS definitely has the higher sound quality and more loveable tone
I keep the neck relief and string height all about the same, which is to say that I tried my best to make this comparison to be as fair as possible
however, the Sandberg has lower string tension and a flatter fretboard radius, which make it easier to play, and the six bolts construction really makes me feel reliable. Fender basses' 4 bolts construction follows their guitars, but that is too short for bass
Sound is not the only target

Obviously the sound is relative, the Fender sound I think is something unique that only having a Fender can you have .. in my comparison between tt4 passive masterpiece and jazz cs 60 the sandberg has a better build quality a superior attention to detail ..

You have to try them or its a guess, obviously.
I think a CS has more sell-on appeal but that is not to say they are better basses.
I swapped out everything bar pickups on a CS.

Imv, there are an awful lot of better builders than CS but do they retain the price? Buy used.

I'm perfectly agree with you
