mangotango Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 So last Saturday I ended up in Guitar Guitar in Glasgow and tried this:-- https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/180108320570002-1646681--sandberg-california-vm5-virgin-white-mn-blocks-hardcore and now I want one. Don't need all of the hardcore aging, thanks - I can cause my own damage well enough!! However, the sound of this was everything I need from a bass guitar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fine basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 @GisserD Stuart has the TM prototype that flashed up in the top right hand corner. That TT bass is the one I played (smiley face) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 @Cuzzie and I have both played the sandberg SL. It’s a delight. I’m happy to debate this for some time. Carry on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have just taken delivery of a Sandberg California II TT4. Does anyone know of a hardcase that is a good fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I will post pics in due course. I take my pics outside and the weather hasn’t been great. Watch this space.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know of a hardcase that is a good fit? I have one of each of these cases, they're both tougher than gig padded gig bags but not as heavy and bulky as a full flight case. Both are well made and fit my TT4 perfectly; Protection racket Protec Contego Both are great cases. If anything I prefer to the cheaper Protection racket one, it's every bit as well made and offers the same level of protection as the Contego but the zip seems a tad smoother and it has adjustable inserts that you can move about that fit into the contours of the bass body to stop it moving around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the configurator and was thinking about ordering something along the lines of this but wasn't sure who to order through, bassdirect maybe? Not a glamour shot by any means, but this is the guitar has set me on my current Sandberg lust... My VT4.
