Eastwood "The Sandman" Deluxe 2-String Bass

Story

Building on the success of our 2-String Bass tribute to the late Mark Sandman of Morphine, we are thrilled to introduce The Sandman Deluxe 2-String Bass.

Created in collaboration with Mark’s estate and crafted from precise measurements taken from his own Premier Multivox Scroll Bass, the Deluxe edition stays true to the original while incorporating subtle refinements for modern playability and production.

Featuring a 34” scale length, authentic body shape, and exact dimensions, the Sandman Deluxe showcases an inlaid scroll on the body and a striking streaked Ebony veneer top. Each bass comes pre-set with flatwound D’Addario Chrome strings (45, 65) tuned D–A, just like Mark’s, and can be set up for either standard or slide playing.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Original 34” Scale Length
• True to original shape & dimensions
