Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, you get a more traditional, vintage J-Bass sound. Activating the EQ expands your tonal options, adding more defined lows and highs, but with a subtle color shift.
The fingerboard is likely factory-oiled, but rosewood tends to dry out. Re-oiling every 6-12 months is recommended to maintain playability and prevent cracking – depending on your climate.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a more direct and responsive feel, sometimes at the expense of ultimate sustain. However, Sandberg’s construction and wood choices compensate well, delivering a very solid and lively instrument.
