Frequently Asked Questions
It’s closer to a ‘60s Jazz Bass in character—slightly more aggressive and less scooped—but the Sandberg’s ash body gives it a more focused, articulate low-end.
Yes, the birdseye gives it a slightly more textured feel; some players find it snappier and more responsive, while others might prefer a smoother feel.
The included gig bag is adequate for transport, but for serious gigging, a hard case is highly recommended to protect the finish and hardware.
