pietruszka Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 The natural finish on that basic looks lovely! Iv just taken the scratch plate off mine for a bit doesnt look too shabby either. Dan Quote
bottomfeed Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What a beautiful looking collection, TRBboy.... I see you have a greenburst/clearplate in your armoury!...[i] tres cool![/i] I could use taking some better pics soon... found this for now, my basic5... Quote
ezbass Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Ooh green and maple, yum! Unusual to see a natural headstock on a 'Berg. Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I'm enjoying my Sandberg too - I play it as much as my Wal! Quote

[/quote] ... Yes, i was very specific in what i ordered. originally I went for no scratchplate at all but soon found that my thumb was cutting a groove in the body!... so added the see-thru one. This thread is making me re-live why I 1st got interested in investigating Sandberg... Love that basic shape, It really works for me... The fact that they are great basses too sealed the deal! Quote

I've often wished that my greenburst had a maple board! Looks lovely! It's nice to see a few other people rockin the Basics! I had a California PM for a while, but it just didn't have the same feel as the Basic for me. They are truly superb basses. Here's a link to the other thread if you're interested: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168556-sandberg-love/ Quote
bottomfeed Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for that .... more Sandberg loveliness! Quote
Mylkinut Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I've been after a black or white PM4 for ages now, this isn't helping Quote
StevieC Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Ok, [sharedmedia=core:attachments:12432] Can't resist... My California MM 5 in Bubinga (Old style, with the three-band EQ)[attachment=101573:40727_1611477616390_1519756214_31576024_2138516_n.jpg] Quote

longtimefred Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 ahh go on then. Sandberg California PM4. Matt Blackburst, matched headstock, Harry Haussel Pickups. Its mah baby! I want a 5 string version next. Quote
wombatboter Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 My Sandberg.. I've owned around 120 basses (from Wal to Fodera, from Alembic to Ken Smith) but this one rules them all.. bought it for 800 euros second hand and it growls and punches..Amazing bass, I could eat it..[IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/wombatboter/407366_3334254035603_1246122224_3386658_2048716665_n.jpg[/IMG] Quote
EskimoBassist Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Now I would love that bass (minus the teeth marks of course). I think if I ever were to shift my Jazz, that's the kind of thing I'd be looking for. Quote

fretmeister Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 My just acquired TM4 It's wonderful! Such a huge sound and an easy neck. Build quality that Fender can only dream about. 1 Quote
JayPH Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Hi Guys. I have an apportunity to buy a Sandberg Pm 4 and was wondering about the weight of them. Are they back breakers? Also what is the difference between the jm, pm ,vm and tm? Are the pm's discontinued? I have a USA fender jazz special and was looking to get a p-bass too, but I've read a lot of good things about the Sandberg Basses and from what I've heard on Youtube they sound awsome. Quote
FuNkShUi Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I had a USA 75Ri jazz, i havent got that anymore. I have still got my Sandberg JM4. I love them and would advise anyone to at least try the Bergs out. Its a beast, punches through the mix better than anything ive previously had. Quote

[/quote]No they are not heavy at all and because of the 2+2 headstock are superbly balanced. The PM & JM were just renamed VM & TM (probably something to do Fender getting stroppy over the use of P and J to describe the p/ups). Quote

I see, I'm easily confused and keep having to remember which is which. Nice to know about the balance. I'm very close to buying this although I'm strectching my budget by a fair bit Quote
