The company Sandberg has been delighting with handcrafted electric basses from Braunschweig for years. These basses impress the player with their fantastic playing feel from the very first contact. If you connect the Sandberg to an amplifier, almost everyone will be thrilled! High-tech components in combination with selected woods create a round bass foundation. The perfect interaction of the components ensures an assertive and powerful bass ... and that already ex works! If you compare the price with the quality of the instrument, it quickly becomes clear why Sandberg is celebrating a triumphant advance through the bass world!
Thanks to "Plek technology", this instrument has perfectly dressed and rounded frets! With the Plek method, every neck, including fretless, is individually measured and processed to the thousandth of a second in order to achieve an optimal set-up and inimitable playability!
SL stands for Super Light, and the range close to 3.6 kilograms is actually remarkable for a long-scale in familiar solidity, because even comparative models that are considered to be particularly light still have at least a whole pound more on it! Anyone who fears that the ultra-light body could lead to problems with balance will be pleasantly surprised: The TM5 Superlight hangs perfectly balanced in a playing position that is comfortable for the bassist!
