RickW Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) This was my first Sandberg Bass. It is a fine instrument and when I picked up to try it in GuitarGuitar back 2018 I thought "damn it, I'm in trouble" and simply had to buy it. Due to lock down and me moving to 5 string basses, this bass has only been gigged 3 times and is pretty much in the same condition as when I bought it. The full spec is: Black Soft Aged Maple Mint Scratch plate Abalone Dot Inlays. Includes Sandberg Gig Bag @Merton has tried this bass and was very impressed.

Merton Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 This is a sexy bass and would be causing me no end of wallet-related issues if it weren’t long scale 😅 My previous Sandberg experiences were all decidedly average but this affirmed the long-held BC mantra that they are excellent. Seems the previous (shop-situated) ones just needed a damn good set up. Rick is a gent and really looks after his gear so buy with confidence 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian18242 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That would look ace with a chrome control plate! Wonder if this is something that could be purchased separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLWTS Yes you can buy a plate from the Sandberg online shop but if you are in the UK, they don`t post to us! You need to order it through a authorised Sandberg dealer. They will get you one but only usually when they are getting a delivery of basses. It`s bloomin mental. Or get someone from Ireland to order it for you. They ain`t all that expensive either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian18242 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 That's a terrible set-up from a customer perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
