Sandberg is proud to welcome a new member to the Sandberg Signature Artist-Family: Martin Mendez, bass player of the Swedish progressive metal giants OPETH.
For many years, Martin has been playing Sandberg basses both in the studio and live, making it an obvious step for us to approach him with the idea of a signature bass. Of course, Martin loved it so we went on planning out the bass that finally has Martin’s name on in and personal touch.
The bass is based on a Sandberg California T passive. It features a European ash body with a finish in Black matt.
The Canadian hardrock maple neck with matching headstock and the fingerboard with 22 frets gives it a great look and provides a nice bite and a fast response, and is secured snugly with our 6-bolt system.
For the Black Matt model, Martin also wanted to have the option for a maple fingerboard with block inlays as it simply looks killer! To give it a more unique and dark look, Martin decided to go for black hardware and so the basses come with black Sandberg hardware for improved sustain and bolder tone as well as the black lightweight tuners.
As Martin wanted a classic and traditional sound with a certain bite, he chose two Delano JMVC pickups set in a special position that is a little bit closer to the bridge.
Every Martin Mendez Signature Bass is subjected to the Sandberg “Vibration Treatment”, which results in an improved resonance and an authentic old school sound of an instrument that has been played for many years.
