The body of this bass is made from proven ash, while the neck and fingerboard are made from Canadian maple. It also has a special "roasted" finish, which gives the wood the sound characteristics of time-honoured vintage instruments, plus a stylish look. It is screwed down with six screws, which keep it in a completely accurate position.
The guitar is fitted with one humbucker and one single-coil pickup, specifically the Sandberg Powerhumbucker and Splitcoil models. These offer both the standard "PB" sound and a little something extra, just thanks to the cob humbucker. A volume potentiometer, Balance, passive tone shield and active 2-band EQ can be used to adjust the sound. But the latter can be removed from the signal path using the push/pull Volume control, so the Treble control works just like the Tone. The fingerboard is typically solid with separate stones made by Sandberg. It also allows you to adjust the string spacing between 18-19.5 mm. On the other side of the guitar we find Sandberg tuning machines.
