Sandberg Victor Brandt Signature Forty-Eight 4-String Electric Bass Guitar Matte Black

Five years ago, Sandberg Guitars introduced the vintage rock-inspired Forty Eight model. This year they worked with Victor Brandt of the Norwegian symphonic black metal outfit Dimmu Borgir to create a signature version of the axe. Decked out all in black, Brandt’s spin on the bass has several special appointments that practically begged us to take it for a spin to see if it sounds as good as it looks.
