What d'all think? I think they look pretty beautiful. But would I own one?? hmmm polarised feelings on that one. I think yes tho :-/

As far as I have seen its an original idea...?

Pretty cool stuff either way. Especially seeing as you can order your own choice of finishes/es/es/es/es! (at what cost I don't really want to know: Ignorance is safety in this case lol)

I think it is extremely well done, but it's not for me, personally I much prefer these;

I love these two basses so much, and I really wished I had the funds for one. Or both!

I love it! It's playful and it looks ace, there's a sense of humour in there. I'd be seen with it :)

Exactly :) Its a fun design exercise done with skill. The definitive Bitsa in all senses of the word :D

Agree about the playfulness being a good thing! It certainly ain't snooty lookin'

I just appreciate manufacturers sticking their neck out a little with some bold designs. Yeah as bass players we tend to like a few set formats with regards to looks but I appreciate this as something very fresh.

Plus I guess it's great for keeping up brand profile as it's got us all talking!

I think they just did it for a bit of fun to show SOME of the options that you can choose. There are far more "standard" options with Sandberg than most other manufacturers, without undertaking a full-on custom build.

Have to say doesn't this prove what some of us (myself included) believe. Woods mean NOTHING to tone and that it is all in the p/ups and electrics?

I think that woods do make a difference, but that maybe the quality of the wood, and the quality of construction, have a greater impact on tone than the species of wood.
