OVERALL OPINION

I play for 1 year and I can not get enough ..

I had a better term Noguera 5 string, a Fender American Deluxe 4 string

Sandberg my EX5 is a series specially cre Sandberg collaboration between German and a store call Werner, based on a California JM5.

-Handmade in Germany.

-Maple neck, 22 frets, rosewood fingerboard.
Ash-body, color Dark Blueburst.
-2 Delano pickups, a humbucker in bridge musicman type, a type jazz bass but inclined to run.
Electronic 3-band Glockenklang, switch active / passive (the treble knob is a tone), switch to switch the microphone MM series or parallel.
-The bridge is stamped Sandberg, he seems solid and easily set trs.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs Pleasant over the map of strings at the bridge is 19mm, as a 4-string, which provides playing comfort trs enjoyable.

However, Access in acute trs is using, which does not impede me beyond measure, not the soul of a soloist!

It PSE good weight, you can feel good on the leg when playing seated, but the balance can be improved trs correct.

By fiddling with the electronic well, you get a great sound easy.

SOUNDS

This bass fits perfectly what I expect from a bass. The sound is generally round trs, trs hot, with the "growl". If you are looking for a bass slamming her, go your way! I play mostly in active, high and low background, and send the large ca! In slap, you can easily get a well slamming (which ironically it is impossible to have this bass with a classic game with fingers), facilitated by pulling strings Mount mediums of origin.

I head the branch in a Markbass Little Mark 2 and a pregnant Warwick 2 * 10, and with some rglages on the head, I get the easy one I love.

This bass is versatile trs I think, perfect for both rock and metal for the pop or jazz ... The complete electronic trs allows you tons of settings!

OVERALL OPINION

I played for two months prs and I like it a lot. I love the sound that I can draw, and the playing comfort gnral, even if weight and balance level, it can be improved ...

Loved Sandberg ds the first test of a MODEL of the mark, and I'm really pleased with my purchase, the price quality ratio is really excellent, I have a 1200 for "Jazz Bass Plus ", a really excellent bass and a pleasure to play. The finish is excellent throughout (except for some details on the head, but those are just details), I'm really happy. I do it again this choice without hsiter!

Same as other avis.22 boxes, adjustable active or passive, flying + balance + acute + grave + split the bridge pickup, made in Germany, has to settle it by a luthier, play very near the handle

UTILIZATION

The handle is for all hands, after 3 hours of repeats, still not tired of tendinite.Le exec or sound is quickly obtained but it is the modern type, he gets in a mix very well, for the registration of our model , no breath and very rond.Attention it can easily become aggressive. Heavy but very well balanced, but the ash that weighs it sounds.

SOUNDS

I play on SWR Basic 350 + 2 * 10 + speaker cabinet 1 * 15, its got for me in all styles, we do a lot of times and I am satisfied with the matches sound good but I'm not difficult at the time that it is round without drooling, without breath, and that low mean, ah yes without fail at the last moment, I'm fine

OVERALL OPINION

for 5 months, after 10 days, comp days and 3 studio, always satisfied.The choice is always personal, but I'm 50, I play since I was 15, I had to possess more than 30 including a dozen bass from Fender, I always return the same sound, bass and jazz stingray.J have had a bass luthier Barillon 6-string that I keep 4 years, the sound was perfect but the round "s been fairly fatiguant.Donc try as much as possible, borrow or rent and made a date with the gear before buying, it can prevent resale précoce.Ma Sandberg is beautiful in ash, maple key inlays and black blocks in a piano bar at 2 o'clock in the morning you do not want to throw everything, compared to less than 1,000 ticket price, I love it. And I think I found my Dulciné with whom I wanted to make a long journey.
