For years, Sandberg has been delighting musicians with its handcrafted electric basses from Braunschweig, Germany. From the very first touch, these instruments impress players with their fantastic feel. Plug one into an amplifier, and almost everyone is instantly won over! High-tech components combined with select tonewoods create a rich, solid low-end foundation. The perfect synergy of all parts results in a punchy, assertive bass tone—straight out of the box! When you compare the price to the quality of the instrument, it’s easy to see why Sandberg has taken the bass world by storm. Thanks to "Plek technology," this instrument features perfectly leveled and rounded frets. The Plek process involves measuring and machining each neck—even fretless ones—with precision down to the thousandth of a millimeter, ensuring an optimal setup and unparalleled playability.
The Ken Taylor Basic was developed in collaboration with bassist Ken Taylor (who has worked with Peter Maffay, Brian May, Robert Palmer, Bruce Springsteen, the Scorpions, Gianna Nannini, Udo Lindenberg, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and many others).
