Building a SANDBERG BASS from scratch!

Earlier this year, we at Sandberg Guitars had a special visit from our good friend Julia Hofer! In this video, we had a chance to sit down, discuss, and demonstrate how a Sandberg Bass comes to life from start to finish.
Join our fearless Captain Holger and Julia on this factory tour and get a sneak-peek into our process including wood selection, cutting, gluing, fretting, finishing, and our special aging techniques (including our Masterpiece Aging wizard Christian and his clever tooling). All of this to build the dream bass for Julia!

Awesome interesting Thanks Julia🎶❤️

it's so funny that I'm playing my own Sandberg California TT and watching this video at the same time! This video reminds me so many things when I was about to buy a Sandberg bass, the configurator, the colors, the shapes, the amazing birdeye maple fingerboard.......anyway after about 4 months playing with it, this bass is an absolutely great one to play! Love Sandberg!!!

14:05 hello dream girl 😍

I very recently bought a used California TM 5 string. Very nice recorded sound, best word to describe it would be "authoritative". Has a funny quality - even if timing on the note is wrong, it sounds like it was meant to be there :)

This was awesome love seeing the progress And I think this is what heaven is going to look like .. all that hardware!!!

[@MadMagicPaul]

That was great! Really enjoyed that.

[@georgeargon5113]

Sandberg convinced me their (short scale) bass will be my next purchase "Punkt, fertig, klar"....

[@dev--null]

Cool video! :) Julia should've ordered the Forty Eight!

[@ema943]

Tried the vm in hamburg and it blows me away !!! Love the bridge system and the sound is amazing❤️❤️❤️

[@countzero1972]

cool bass.. cool lady ! cool video :)

[@dasbear10]

I’m making a p bass, I’m using a paulownia body was going to use ebony as I already have a status jazz copy with a rosewood neck. Now I’m thinking maple, thanks for the info👍🏼

[@michaelbonanno7476]

Just ordered a TM4 left handed yesterday! Can’t wait! Lol

[@lewis2207]

How long did your order take?

[@bDoom88]

This is crazy, guys!

[@pablodelangel4496]

Excelente bajo!

[@keithpn83]

Nice

[@michaelkennethsimon2270]

How do you move the bridge when intonating

[@LightShadow]

Why no high gloss option in the configurator ? Also - I cannot find a P-Bass model.

[@DmitryMigal]

Any reason why Julia preferred Delano pickups? I believe Sandberg Superlight basses come with Black label pickups by default...

[@Drumcoach1]

Great factory tour😊👍🏻🎸 Has the body of her new Sandberg bass received some aging ( soft aged)? Has her bass received vibration treatment, or/and thermo treatment? Or isn’t that possible for TT super light basses?😃 Best regards Norway😃👍🏻🎸🎁

[@duncanh6045]

How come the configurator doesn't have the metallic paint option for Superlight?

[@dalmal62m72]

He just glued the truss rod in there?

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

I like Sandberg basses. But I don't understand why the bridge is made like it is? Setting up intonation is gust weird!

[@ВолодяПупыкин]

Корпус из павловнии? Интересно. У меня есть китайский ASHTONE PB 11, сделаный из павловнии. Я думал это дерево используется на самых дешёвых инструментах, а оказалось - нет. Но у него есть огромное преимущество - оно очень лёгкое. Мой бас весил примерно 3.1 кг.

[@christosfragias592]

Dear Julia, please buy me a Snadberg bass, and I will be forever thankful...

[@SvenFelsl]

Man, i always thought the dots were inlays, being just a - very good working foil - is a let down. Only watched that vid to see, how these "inlays" are build in.

[@dasbear10]

With the body being paulownia im assuming you did the grain filling, sanding sealing and priming before painting?
