NBD: Sandberg Forty Eight

[Alban]

Received my Sandberg Forty Eight yesterday... And it rocks! I got to test drive it last night on a rehearsal and it cuts through awesomely, like I expected it to. Definitely strong mids presence, I boosted the lows and highs a bit and found the thunder.
It isn't the lightest bass, but it does balance decently. Looks like it's a keeper!

That is SEXY! Man, they have no problems trying new stuff and yet somehow tipping their hat to old ideas over at Sandberg.

Those stripes are just too cool!

Enjoy it!

Man, they hav our bass heritagee no problems trying new stuff and yet somehow tipping their hat to old ideas over at Sandberg.

Exactly my thoughts. I have only played one Sandberg (just two weeks ago), but seen quite a lot of them. Nice mix, keeping the best of our bass heritage while embracing change. And really good quality, as it seems.

Here is mine, arrived just a few days, but I had to record a quick demo... I just love it...can't stop playing.

Just a couple of thoughts:
I played the Bass just one day after arrived. No major adjustments necessary other than tuning.
I appreciate those details when delivering an instrument.
It fits in a regular Ritter gigbag, but not in Sandbergs, so it comes without gigbag. But, since it is small enough, no problem flying with it though.

This model definitely isn't my cup of tea.... but the Sandbergs really are just on a different level in terms of build quality and the sounds they make. Truly unique basses.....

How do you like it now since it's been a while? I really like these....could you compare the feel to a Gibson bird?

Dont know what's more impressive. The quality and range of sounds or your musical & technical ability. Bravo on this demo @Bajosintrastos
