Sandberg Forty Eight 5-string in Blackburst left-handed, (Used)

The Sandberg Forty Eight 5-string in Blackburst left-handed form features a solid body shaped in the model’s offset, angular design, finished in a blackburst that highlights its modern aesthetic. Its bolt-on maple neck is paired with a 22-fret fingerboard, offering a smooth playing surface and comfortable access across the extended range. The long-scale layout provides tight low-string response, while the wider nut and string spacing accommodate the demands of a five-string instrument.

Its electronics combine a reverse split-coil pickup (disguised as a humbucker) in the neck position with a humbucker at the bridge, giving a broad tonal range suited for both classic and modern bass styles. A blend control allows smooth adjustment between the two pickups, while active EQ provides bass and treble shaping with the option to switch into passive mode for a more traditional response. This configuration supports everything from deep, rounded lows to sharper, aggressive tones when needed.

Hardware includes a high-mass adjustable bridge that offers stable intonation and allows fine control over action and string spacing. Lightweight tuners help maintain balance and reduce neck-dive, supporting comfortable performance during long sessions. The ergonomic body contouring and solid construction make the Forty Eight 5-string left-handed model a reliable and expressive instrument for a wide range of playing contexts.
