Story
Inspired by the raw, hypnotic tones of Mark Sandman and the groundbreaking sound of Morphine, the Sandman Tribute Bass is a stripped-down, two-string powerhouse designed for players who believe that less is more.
Crafted as a loving nod to Sandman's iconic DIY approach, this instrument delivers deep, punchy lows and rich, resonant textures—perfect for slide work, gritty grooves, and sonic experimentation. Whether you're laying down minimalist jazz-rock lines or exploring new tonal territory, the Sandman Tribute Bass keeps your sound focused, distinctive, and undeniably cool.
