Thanks mate , I'll look for the rest of them. Ever since I started gassing for a particular Sandberg I've been spending rather too much time with their name in my search bar

Sandberg are mint - Gas away

 

Which model?

[foxyFuze]

That was immensely satisfying to watch.

Sandbergs are fantastic basses. I have a California Jazz in sunburst distressed. Looks mint!

Noice
 

Sandberg or even Electra are awesome basses, they are far from budget

Good luck!

Does anybody know their contact details ? I wanted to ask why my bullet has no body decal. All the hardware is Sandberg - it's in a Sandberg gigbag etc. so I have no reason to doubt it's authenticity but unusual not to have the decal.

Oh no! I went and looked at the Sanberg site, and now I want a Forty-Eight!

Whatever you do don't click the Sandberg Configurator, oh no.

I get a strong sense of deja-vu

That's where I was a year ago! First it was looking at those 48s and playing with the configurator. Then it was going to a shop where I knew they had a couple. Next thing I knew, I had ordered a VM4 😛

Good times

[FinnDave]

I knew next to nothing about Sandbergs until I had some time to kill in early January and wandered into Oxford PMT. I had no intention of buying anything, but walked out an hour or so later nearly two grand lighter and carrying a Sandberg Panther special. Probably the best bass I've ever played, even better than my Alembic Epic. 

I have to ration my time playing it as I still love my Fenders (and now my Yamaha), but it really is the most comfortable and best sounding bass I've ever played.

My TM5 Superlight arrived at the dealer today and should be with me by Friday. Can’t wait to play it.

Panther slips beneath the radar, it is an absolute splendid instrument

It certainly is! It's so comfortable to play (used for the last Grateful Dudes' gig - about 2 1/2 hours - and no hand cramp at all - first time I've got through a long one without some pain) and it has a wonderful tone -  most individual and beautiful.

Absolutely on the money - it blew my mind when I picked one up to play it - congrats on having a wonderful machine

Those new Sandberg California SL basses - the body uses paulownia. Isn't that wood known to have strength issues and is quite susceptible to breaks?

I have one of these - it’s a very lovely thing. Had it up for sale a year ago but swiftly came to my senses and withdrew it.

Not breaks but woods like Paulownia and Cedar May well mark more easily

[Cuzzie]

Paulownia is also known as princess or empress wood and has been used by other manufacturers I think G&L.

Lightweight, strong, Eco friendly as very quick growing, mainly out East which is probably why most Companies don’t use it.

Stay with your senses, I can't afford it yet. Leave your senses the moment I say the word.
