Yea I thought the same thing about the pickguard... Maybe a clear perspex one would look good! I think the chrome would pick up lots of finger prints and you'd be forever cleaning it.

Yes, I also like it... Humbucker in the bridge and 18V pre... Nice! Deffo a disco machine, I like it better than Mono Neon Signature

Seems like they started off around €800 mark 2 to 3 years ago, they are now closer to €2k euros for a basic 4 string jazz bass.

Hi @phipschi, Did you have an opportunity to make some photos and review your experience as a rare Bite Bass owner? Cheers

Look forward to some intial photos and thoughts on this

This shape reminds me of a Yamaha TRBX but a bit flatter /non contoured top.

@phipschi Thanks a lot for you post, your bass looks really cool. I would very much like to hear a sound comparson. There is very little info out there regarding ownership or reviews. I am interested in the craftsmanship, neck pocket, fret work, neck feel, weight, balance etc. @Machines Indeed there are a several options between 1500 to 2000 euros... Sandberg, Maruszczyk being an obvious european made options. Then there is FGN which are very high quality Japanese made instruments as well as Lakeland models. Several of these brands would maintain reasonable resale value too. I also noted that compared to some of the promotional videos and other sources, the prices have increased dramatically, more or less doubled in the last 2 to 3 years, making a fairly basic P bass just under 2k Euros.

Thanks for this, I think I somehow missed this thread... I will have a good read. Cheers

Certainly seems like there are not many owners at all!!

Hey All, I was recently looking at BITE custom guitars from Austria, there are a few review videos online, but what I am looking for is owners medium/longterm experiences with the instruments. Many of the videos online are from bass players that you might call 'influencers' these days and they describe a bit the instrument but they don't go into much detail and don't provide any follow up review etc. So anyone here own a BITE bass?

Thanks 🙏 The pick up is Sandberg's own power split coil. Sounds fantastic in passive and active.

Hey All, Picked up my first Sandberg this weekend. 2008 California Heavy aged VS4.

Hey All, So I picked up first Sandberg this weekend. A 2008 California VS4 Heavy Aged.

I like the look of these, but honestly the pricing is quite a bit above HB offering of similar spec, ime JB-62C for example.. I'm interested to see if they are worth double a Harley Benton JB-62 or 50% more than the 35th anniversary edition. These basses retail around £350 give or take. Anyone took the plunge and bought one?
