    Up for your viewing pleasure today is an amazing Sandberg TM4 Super Light bass w/matching headstock weighing in at (drum roll please....).......6 lbs!!!!!!

    This is hand-down the best playing bass I've ever owned - easily as good as my old Fodera Yin-Yang (no kidding!). The darn thing almost plays itself. But I'm stuck in the old-world p bass world and am happy with that right now.

    Here are the specs:
    • Body: Paulownia
    • Neck: European maple
    • Neck profile: C-shape
    • Width at zero fret: 39.5 mm
    • Fingerboard: Norway maple, 22 frets, 34"
    • Black Block Inlays
    • Fingerboard radius: 14"
    • Matched headstock
    • Pickguard: Black
    • Hardware: Black
    • Pickups: 1 Sandberg Blacklabel M-pickup (PU split), 1 Sandberg Blacklabel T-pickup
    • Electronics: Volume (Push-pull: active / passive), Balance, Highs (Passive Tone), and Bass
    • 3D Sandberg bridge
    • String spacing: 18.5 - 20 mm
    • Schaller Strap-Lock compatible strap buttons
    • Weight: 2720 g / 6.00 lb
    • Case: Sandberg Gig Bag
    Asking $1700 shipped CONUS. Payment via PP Friends & Family. Somebody is going to absolutlely love this bass!

    Absolutely! At 64, my back is (fortunately) just fine...but at some point, I will be re-buying this one...I could play a 6 hour gig and not notice it...my hands may disagree though. :)

    These days I only play 30 minutes shows, thankfully. But the spine and hips still thank me for light basses. My only bass currently is 7lbs. Hoping the Lionel is under 6. Jeez I want this bass!

    Amazing how a couple of lbs can make such as huge difference...the first time I picked this bass up it seemed like a toy...fortunately, it's a very well made toy! Sandberg's are wonderful.

    Sandberg’s are awesome. I have a super light 5 string. I would love to a 4 string to go with it. Have you made any changes to the bass or is it still “factory”?
