2016 Sandberg California MarloweDK 5 string bass. I recently bought this bass new. Thought I would give a 5 string another try. Just need to stay with 4 string basses. This bass has a very strong low mid punch. Balances extremely well on a strap. 35" scale. Only weighs 8 lbs!
In case your...
Just pulled the trigger on a used Sandberg Electra VS4 in vintage cream.
Hopefully it will meet all my needs for the next gig bass. Precision style passive/active pups with an aggressive tone and a nice slim jazz style neck.
Getting excited!

I am working away from home now, I didn't have any bass with me.
So I was looking for a cheap MM-J config bass for practice.
After some research I am set on a Lakland Skyline 44-02.
Couldn't find any good deal locally, instead a 2012 Sandberg TM-4 soft relic custom pop up. It's a MM-J bass...
Make me an offer!
Wow, look at the beautiful distressed sunburst on this bass! Sandberg is reknowned for their distressing technique which is as real as it gets. I even fooled my carpenter and furniture maker friends who all thought this bass really was 35 years old.

Great Instrument I picked up in a trade with a friend. I've decided that I'm sticking with 5 strings so this one is available.
This bass is in excellent shape with no issues that I am aware of.
Based on research of the Sandberg web site I believe the following best describes this bass. I...

Hi TB'ers. I found a bass I like a lot. It has a J pickup also a MM pickup. Active electronics. Jazz bass style. Does anyone have any experience with the Sandberg California TM4 bass? Thanks
Yes! After waiting for over one and a half year, she's finally home! My Sandberg!
I had to wait for this thing for so long! I was so excited to open the case and see her for the first time! A complete different experience then getting stuff on demand :) It's awesome!

What a looker!
All black body, with matching headstock and chrome hardware.
The big, chrome humbuckers, with chrome pole-pieces, look amazing.
They kind of remind me of a MusicMan.
And not surprisingly, the tone is reminiscent of a double humbucker Stingray.
With the ability to switch the neck...
The best 5 string I have ever played, turns out I am more of a 4 string guy though. This bass is 100% stock hardcore relic directly from Sandberg's custom shop in Germany complete with Delano pickups active/passive Glockenklang electronics and ships in original gig bag. 10lbs exactly.

Hi guys,
I do believe that my lovely Sandberg's preamp has a defect. The push/pull volume control is reacting only at the last 10 percent of the turn radius, that's where the whole volume comes and goes.
So I was wondering if, since something seems to be broken there, maybe it is time to get a...

Now $1300
I just bought something new so have to get this sold. Originally $1500, now $1300
Very clean example of a California 1 TM4… and pretty rare with a natural Alder body. Splittable bridge humbucker, active & passive modes, this is a versatile workhorse of a bass. However I'm not playing...
Yesterday, I learnt this lick from Janek Gwizdala. You can get the link to the original lesson at the end.
I decided to revise the lick a bit. It turned out as an interesting & challenging daily exercise that will benefit.
I play the lick in 16th notes, instead of 8th note as the original...
For sale is a somewhat hard to find Sandberg Basic VM Five String bass. The bass is in excellent condition and has pretty much no player wear. This bass is has factory installed Delano pickups instead of the current models which have Sandberg pickups.
One really interested thing I've notice...

Hi everybody! I've been a happy Stingray 5 (usual H config) player for some 15 years. Have 2 of them and really love them. But lately I'm often assaulted by the "wider sound pallette" syndrome, which several times led me to buy some basses that in the long run I end up hating and selling. WHY...
Hi!
I'm new here, but i have a serious problem. I have a Sandberg Electra TT4. I love this bass, but one thing i hate about with. The Bridge. The Sandberg bridge is a disaster for me. Its possible to change to a Badass Bridge, or something normal, simple bridge? The best way, if i change at...
Does anyone know if I can replace my Sandberg California 1 TM 4 pickguard with a Fender Jazz pickguard, thus saving me a trip to Guitar Center to check.
Price Drop to $650 Shipped within CONUS.
Hello TB’ers. My name is “Berg”. I’m a 3 year old Sandberg Electra TT4. Last night I had a “come to Jesus” talk with my player. Great guy by the way. We both knew this was coming, but were in denial. We’ve treated each other with the utmost respect...

Hi TBrs!
Has anyone ever tried this Aguilar set with a Sandberg? :)
I'm a happy owner of a Sandberg JM5 with a 2-band Glockenklang preamp. It's a very modern sounding axe. I plug it into a Hartke HA5500 and a Goliath III but they weight too much for me - I've got some problems with joints. I...
Hello everyone! Got a sweet opportunity to put Aguilar OBP-3 preamp to my Sandberg bass - is there anyone who modified their Sandbergs with Agi electronics? Or maybe you'll give me your ideas about should I do such a modification or not? Thanks)
I am looking to consolidate down to two Dingwall long-scales. This is a gorgeous bass. The rosewood nut and board are lovely. The bass is in near mint if not mint condition. Update: while taking new pics I discovered a small ding in the matte finish on the back on the left edge. It's the...

Very nice Sandberg VS 5 in gloss black. It's a 2014 model and in excellent condition. No marks on neck or headstock. Just some light surface scratches on the back of the body. The pick guard still has the clear plastic on it. It has the typical 2-band EQ with active/passive mode. The bass weighs...

Hands down this is one of the smoothest playing and best sounding basses I've ever owned. I've owned Sadowskys (NYC and Metro), vintage Fender basses, as well as a variety of others and the fit and finish on this instrument is second to none. It has all of the right mojo and the playability is...
