Latest development on my board

After reducing the weight and throwing out unused ones...2024 layout is here.

Here it is...finally tried the TT5SL. I did a comparison of two fairly comparable bass guitars in all but one - weight. SL is incredibly light - only 2.7kg (5.95 lbs) UNREAL!

👍

Today one flew into my studio...couldn't resist making a test video.

Just got my new AT410 few days ago. 11.6 kg!!! Here is a video I just made comparing it to an Ampeg PF-410 HLF.

I bought Darkglass Tone capsule directly from Sandberg, but they sent it to me through the dealer. Also they sent me a stacked pot and a wiring diagram (high mids are now tone in passive mode as I requested). Everything fit tight but perfectly inside. I decided for the Tone Capsule because I previously had a Darkglas Vintage Ultra V2 pedal on which I manage to get the sound I was looking for. Only later I saw that the Tone capsule on board preamp has the same (or almost identical) frequencies. I wanted it inside not in a pedal.

I did exactly what you want to do. I put the Tone Capsule in my TM4 and kept the tone control in passive mode. Now I'm much happier with the sound, because the two perfect mid controls use a lot more than the original EQ with the treble control, especially when trying to imitate the Stingrtay sound.

As I am aware, Fender wrote this on their web site about the tone control on the Performer: ''This uniquely Fender tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or “muddying” your sound, preserving your carefully shaped tone.'' While making the video I heard the difference, and I can explain it so that the Fender makes the sound less muddy, and Sadowsky keep more bass whet turn the tone pot all the way off.

I have not played Sadowsky Japan, but have an opportunity last week to have new German MetroLine Sadowsky series in my studio, so I made an comparison to Fender Performer PJ. Here it is.

Here is a link for Bogoworkshop if anyone is interested in California II TM4Thumbrest https://bogoworkshop.com/shop/guitars_bass_guitars/accessories/bass_thumb_rest_ramps/thumbrest-for-sandberg-california-tm4/

My new Gallien Fusion 800 with tube preamp is a killer machine. Would love to try and compare it with Mesa Boogie Subway WD 800.

Hi guys From the first day when my Sandberg arrived it was difficult for me to get used to the H+S pickup combination regarding thumbrest. It's ok to hold it on a humbucker or single pickup, but the sweetest sound spot for me is somewhere in between, a bit closser to the humbucker. ...so I made a custom 3D printed thumbrest. Here is how it looks 🙂

Love my TM4 Hardcore Reserved Custom Order
