NBD: Sandberg Hardcore aged TM5

[fretmeister]

It's lovely!

I do have a set of Hipshot Ultralight tuners coming for it though as it's a tiny bit heavy.

I took a tuner off to weigh it and then compared with Hipshot and it will save me just over 1/2 lb in total. That's a hell of a lot to save - especially when it's on the end of the neck!

They should be here tomorrow. I'll need to dirty them up a bit!

It IS lovely. How about some more pics? I'm not getting enough wood from this!!

I have to fess that I've thought Sandbergs to be completely gorgeous instruments since first coming across them. Finally set aside my sensible instincts and got myself an Ash / Maple Sandberg California TM4 a short while back and totally loving it - the Delano pick ups are wonderfully smooth, and the sound of the bass amazing, when combined with any decent amp & cab.

Gigged it properly this morning. Orchestra type gig with a variety of ensembles.

Sounded superb. Very happy indeed.

Wicked, I like that you rocked a bass with so much mojo with an orchestra :-)

Please tell us you were power lunging!

I had to at one point - my sheet music fell off the stand!

What, just two crappy pics? We demand multiple high-quality detail pics from every angle!!
It's been ages, now! What kind of NBD thread [i]is[/i] this??

I got feeling all 'berg-sexed so I made a picture for myself to take the edge off...

Ooh... red white and maple with matching h/stock really works!
