My SR1600D has a panga panga and purple heart neck which I only noticed as I was running a cloth up and down to clean it that the neck carve feels somewhat lumpy, or wavy. Has anyone else noticed this with their panga panga neck? It's almost like it goes with the grain pattern. I don't notice it while playing though.
It's a lovely instrument. I don't slap much if at all. I have large hands but no sausage fingers so the slim neck feels good. The Aguilar pickups are quite dynamic and I like the preamp, especially the mid frequency selector.
I'd be aggrieved having to buy a cheap bass off Amazon for the drunk greasy dipsticks to play. I'd sooner scour charity shops or car boot sales for something with 2 strings and a bowed neck with 1 inch action and a flaky pickup that only works half the time.
The latest update in the local newspaper says people were spotted inside packing stock into boxes. I guess they didn't find a buyer then.

I was in Badlands recently trying out a used but mint Squire 40th Jazz. The owner and I sat and chatted about the whole Fender standard move. Nice chap, great shop. But please someone go buy that Jazz and save me from my GAS.
My 3D bridge is a pleasure to adjust compared to my Sandberg. Setting the intonation on it once was enough. I'm never changing it again, and I don't care if new strings, or a truss rod adjustment put the intonation out. Nothing wrong with a standard Fender bridge IMO. It's basic but it works.
So to answer the OP question - all Sandbergs should use a basic L shaped bridge.
Yeah I just realised. What was I thinking? Lol. I've had a hard couple of days. It's late, I'm tired. It won't happen again 😂
Let it be known, I am a bass player first and foremost. Always have been, always will be.
Low end FTW.
