New Sandberg TT4, in Virgin White, 35″ scale
Here’s a new Sandberg that’s just arrived with me. The lead time on ordering a new bass from Sandberg is now 2 years! Before Covid it was about 6 months, but after a surge in demand during the pandemic, the lead time got longer and longer and has not improved in the last few years at all, in fact it’s got worse.
This is mainly due to Sandberg’s resistance to up production, as the fear is there may be a drop in quality. Also, skilled staff are hard to find and take a long time to train, so will just have to accept it. It does mean that ordering a bass to your own specs isn’t an option for most people, due to the long wait, so if you see a Sandberg that you like, best buy it…..
