Quilly Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) 12 years separate these acquisitions. The colour scheme is purely coincidental, they just happened to be available in that colour on offer in 2 separate German outlets 🤷♂️ Edited March 5, 2022 by Quilly 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham A Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Joined the Sandberg club during the week with this left handed Sandberg California TT4. Gigged with it last night, sounded a lot punchier than the Fender Jazz I previously owned. Loving the neck profile which somewhere between a P bass & Jazz bass. It makes two hour plus gigs so much more enjoyable. One happy chap 😀 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The beastie has landed. Very pleased with it, punchier than a punchy thing that walked into a bar looking for a fight. I've put some flats on the bass as a bit of an experiment but it turns out that they work really well. Here's a couple of pics. Apols for the mediocre quality. I'll get some better ones when the light is better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I made the mistake of trying a Nighthawk 5 again in GuitarGuitar today. A VM5 is definitely the one, especially with the black label pickups. The sales guys did their very best but I'm just not in the right place to buy one. Definitely regret not buying one a couple of years ago when prices were lower 😅 Edited March 11, 2022 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I still like the Ida model, I haven’t got around to getting one, other purchases always seem to get in the way first, I will when the times right 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanheusen77 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hello Sandberg enthusiasts! I’m getting either a TT or TM and I am wondering how they compare in the coil tap mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting either a TT or TM and I am wondering how they compare in the coil tap mode. Hello, I've actualy got both at home. The TM5 sounds more "modern", not very JB like tone, even in single coil mode. You must be aware that it won't realy cop a JB tone or MM tone. It gets a sound of it own and what a sound ! The TT5 is closer to a JB, especialy in passive mode. I was supposed to sell the TM5 when I got the TT5 but I'm not so sure... the slap tone of the TM is very Henrik Linder like... modern, hifi, incredible. I also love the humbucker soloed with highends rolled off... think Jaco with much more autority and bass impact... To make it short, a TM is not a jazz bass but has realy got something special that a TT cannot get. Hope it helps and don't hesitate to search for my post in this topic, I thing I've posted a few viedo of my TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting either a TT or TM and I am wondering how they compare in the coil tap mode. I won't say they are similar. Twelve or so years ago I went into PMT fully expecting me to walk away with a TM. To me the TM could do everything a TT could do, and then some. The reality was different: the TT had a sound that couldn't be emulated with a TM, even in single coil mode, and the TT with both pickups wide open was my favourite sound, so that was what I purchased. It was so long ago that I cannot give any more details than that, but I spent a while in the shop, and got the staff to play while I listened. Even they were surprised that they themselves prefered the TT over the TM in single coil mode. Of course that's a subjective opinion on which one was better, but I don't think it's controversial to say that they didn't sound similar at all.

Shiveringbass Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Realy depends on taste. If your go to tone is the classic jazz bass tone, take the TT. If you prefer it quite modern and glassy, the TM is unbeatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Just been watching a few vids on youtube, and this spring up. I know julia is a fantastic player, but this jazz (the blue one) sounds amazing. It isnt really mentioned - is this a sandberg?

BassApprentice Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yup, that's definitely a Sandberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanheusen77 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Ideally I would want both a more traditional active jazz sound AND something different with the TM but if I have to choose I think I will go for the TT. Now the question is 4 or 5 strings haha… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 There's one just like Julia's for sale here: https://www.musik-produktiv.com/gb/sandberg-california-tt4-hardcore-aged-rw-rq.html I bought my Darkhawk from these folks and they are very good to deal with. The bass arrived in 6 days not a cent to pay above the listed price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice when you see a pro bassist playing a song same as you do (Waterloo) Great tone from that bass. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanheusen77 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I just tried a variety of Sandbergs. After trying both the TM and the TT the sound I ended liking the most was the TT in passive mode. The TM was a cool slightly different sound too. So I guess a passive TT 4 or 5 string is in my near future. All the Sandbergs I played had amazing quality and feel, I can’t believe I didn’t try them before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I love my VM... but I think the TM would have been more my thing (there were none to try in the shop 'though). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
