What We Think

Unleash the Forty Eight and dominate the low-end; this isn't just a bass, it's a weapon forged for sonic destruction, clad in a menacing Matte Brownburst finish with glinting Gold hardware and a savage Creme Hairline pickguard. Feel the dark power resonate through its Ash body as the Ebony fingerboard on a rapid Maple neck lets your fingers fly, ready for anything. The Sandberg Splitcoil and Power Humbucker pickups deliver a thunderous foundation perfect for anything from crushing, articulate lows to growling, dynamic mids. Don't let its metal-ready aesthetics fool you—the versatile Sandberg Two Band preamp with its Active/Passive switch and precise Tone control empowers you to sculpt your sound for any musical conquest, from blistering solos to tight, rhythmic grooves. Don't miss this one!

About Manufacturer

Sandberg Guitars is a German-based company that was founded in 1986 by friends Holger Stonjek and Gerd Gorzelke. In the humble beginnings, Holger was training as a piano maker in Braunschweig, Germany (Wilhelm Schimmel Pianofortefabrik GmbH) and found his passion in building and repairing bass guitars at their small factory located in an old farm building near Wolfsburg — eventually naming the company after the street this factory was located, Am Sandberg.

After many years of innovation and building custom instruments upon request, the company moved to a larger facility in Braunschweig, expanding their line from stunning 5/6-string exotic basses to a wider selection with a wider market appeal. It was in this time when they attracted the attention of legendary session bassist Ken Taylor, built a signature model for him, and gained significant international appeal for years to come.

Since 1986, every Sandberg instrument has received individual care and attention; the hand-shaping of each neck, the precise fretwork (which also sees a PLEK!), hand contoured bodies, remarkable finish work, fine sanding, and unique aging processes have formed the company into a powerhouse among string players.

Special features on select Sandberg instruments will include Vibration Treatment and Thermo Treatment (each designed to increase sustain and emphasize the instruments natural frequency range), and the new In-House Roasting process to maple.
