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. :bassist:
It isn't the lightest bass, but it does balance decently. Looks like it's a keeper!

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.

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.
