Got a Chance to Order a Custom Made Sandberg-Should I?

[Rothers]

My good lady is looking to buy me a nice pressie for a significant birthday coming up soon. Been looking around. Found a nice 1978 Ric, but it was out of my price range.

However - A good friend of mine has offered me the chance to have a custom Sandberg made at a significantly discounted price.

Has anyone got any experience of Sandberg's? Anyone got experience of their custom service?

Sounds like you have a good one there.

No link though

I have a jpeg of it, but the uploader won't accept the file for some reason.

If you go to [url="http://www.configurator.sandberg-guitars.de/"]http://www.configurator.sandberg-guitars.de/[/url] and paste this configuration number into the box you should see what I see; 15.2.14.0.0.1.3.1.5.1.2.1.0

Yes and Yes, I have a PM4 and love it, build quality is great, the sound and playability are awesome. If I had the chance I'd jump at it.

[GarethFlatlands]

Phwoar. Depends on the price but yeah. Nice.

Good choice - I have a road trip planned this weekend to go try one out!

Do it!

Build quality is excellent, and sound is awesome, and they feel real nice too. What more do you want. I'm looking to get a custom 'Berg too, can I get a discount

Proud owner of a California JM-4 (now called a VM-4 I think) and its stunningly good. Came to me second hand so can't vouch for the custom service but the build and component quality are tremendous. It's very versatile and whilst there's a specific tone my Stingray gives that I'll always grab for certain gigs, for virtually every gig the Sandberg is the first bass I reach for.

Short version: Do it. It's a bass for life.

[Musicman20]

Grab one from Synergy. They match Thomann prices.

[LeftyBiskit]

YES YES AND YES-you wont regret it,
I bought a 2nd hand JM4-simply the best bass i have ever bought.

[Rothers]

I've sent my spec to my friend who can get me the deal. Have to see what price he can get and if it is within our budget. Will let you all know how it goes

You'll love that bass. I've got a JM4 and it's fantastic to play and sounds great.

[pietruszka]

Yes! I have a basic fretless and it's incredible! You will NOT be disappointed!
