As a working bassist with a wide range of live and studio demands, Danny Knapp relies on instruments that deliver consistency, versatility, and a signature feel. Sandberg Guitars has become an essential part of his sonic identity, offering precision craftsmanship and a tonal foundation he can depend on night after night.
Sandberg’s build quality and design philosophy immediately stood out to Danny. Their meticulous attention to detail — from hand-finished bodies and expertly shaped necks to responsive electronics and balanced hardware — gives each instrument a sense of purpose. For Danny, that purpose is clarity, articulation, and a dynamic response that adapts seamlessly across genres and performance settings.
Whether he’s anchoring a high-energy tribute show, recording detailed bass lines in the studio, or stepping into a fly-in date with unfamiliar acoustics, Sandberg instruments give Danny the confidence to perform at his best. Their active/passive flexibility, thoughtful ergonomics, and unmistakable tonal presence have made Sandberg a trusted cornerstone of his gear lineup.
