Frequently Asked Questions
The Sandberg humbucker has a thicker, more aggressive low-end than a Jazz Bass, but less of the scooped mids found in some Sterling pickups – it’s a unique blend of vintage and modern character.
The finish is primarily cosmetic, though the slightly thinner finish *could* theoretically contribute to a touch more resonance, but it’s minimal and unlikely to be noticeable.
Expect a fairly standard spacing of around 19mm at the nut and 56mm at the bridge, typical for a 34” scale bass, providing a comfortable playing experience.
