bagsieblue Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Sandberg 48 I've bought two expensive basses in as many weeks, so time to move along some of those I don't use much. Good overall condition - just one dink on the bottom horn is all that I can see that is worthy of a mention. 2 band EQ with push pull for active and passive - in passive mode the treble knob becomes a passive tone control. The blurb from Sandberg: The Sandberg Forty Eight 4 RW Black High Gloss is a four-string electric bass guitar featuring Sandberg pickups and active two-band sound control with an included gig bag. The Sandberg Forty Eight 4 RW features a six-bolt neck construction with a rosewood fingerboard for a bright, grounded sound that provides the perfect basis for driving grooves in rock and metal genres. The neck has a comfortable “C” profile and is made from maple. A large alder body offers stability and a warm tone. Lightweight aluminium hardware for the bridge and tuning machines provides lightweight mechanisms with precise tuning and clear intonation. A Sandberg Power Humbucker pickup, placed close to the bridge, features wired coils to deliver a brutal output and mid-focused sound image, that always cuts through the mix. A Sandberg Split Coil in the middle position convinces with rough, deep growling that provides rock songs with thrusting grooves. To personalise your output, make adjustments via a tuned two-band EQ section that can be bypassed via the push/pull volume control.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Great basses these and a good price for this example. I bought a HCA version for a hair metal band I was depping for. Sounded the business. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
