UTILIZATION

Good handle, access to acute a little difficult for the 23 ° and 24 ° fret, a shame for those like me who use them, but not impossible to play.
Good ergonomics!
Body rather thin and I find beautiful matte finish (as pictured) this finish leaves no fingerprints, the bass always look impeccable.

SOUNDS

I think it is a complete ultra low and found sound without problem for each style. Versatility is huge.
I play Markbass and even putting everything at noon with this low I finally found the sound I like, a good heavy Mi wish a very very flashy slap "musicman".

OVERALL OPINION

I use this bass for 1 1/2 years, it was originally a compromise with the Musicman Bongo HH (too expensive, few vendors who have to try, even in Paris and I found one in occas at 1700 € ...) Moreover, I only play on 24 cases.
I have:
a Fender jazz bass 24 (only 24 frets Fender)
Spector Euro 4 LX one (With superb ergonomics until the 24th box fingers in the nose) but Sandberg has become my favorite (the Fender24 being far behind you can imagine.)
The Spector spring well in the mix within groups but surpasses Sandberg because it is more a less a mat, much heavier and far.
Since I discovered Sandberg, I dream less Musicman: why do shit with a supposedly famous brand that nobody then distributes that Germany is next, the German quality is found here in the manufacture of this instrument and the value for money is excellent (Sandberg Musicman € 1,290 € 1,990 less than the minimum buy in the U.S.) so ... Fuck Uncle Sam and my next bass will surely Sandberg :)
