Sandberg Denim Bass

[dannybuoy]

Well, this is a first. Would it be a fashion faux pas to play this bass wearing jeans?

I think Id prefer it if it had a different colour pick guard.

[IBWT]

Real denim... at least it will be soft to the touch.

[tommorichards]

Sons of bitches stole my idea! Ive had this for about 7 years now.





But to be honest, i think theyve done a better job.....

Cool wash? Tumble dry? Or dry-clean only?

Seriously, I saw this earlier and thought within a year of grubby hands all over it it would look disgusting. I wonder what finish it is underneath?

[lapolpora]

That's a £699 option! One expensive pair of jeans

IMO it would be a fashion faux pas to play this bass what ever you are wearing.

Double denim is a definite faux pas.

[franzbassist]

I love Sandberg stuff, but the leather and now denim coated basses are truly awful

Does it have a pocket for a pick?

[thodrik]

They really missed a trick by not having a watch pocket in the front to store spare picks.

[Musicman20]

Why is it so expensive to have that option? Surely cheaper than paint/polish!

What happens if you wear through? Could happen.

[Kev]

Truly bizzare, as someone comments on Mark's facebook post, that is going to look a complete mess if used by a regular gigger!

[Maude]

It looks like it should be played by the Comfort fabric softener characters.

[yorks5stringer]

A must for the Quo?

[basshead56]

Wont be allowed to play it in posh clubs then, even with a flash blazer
I reckon you should be able to get it in pre-slashed as an option too, keep the pretend punks happy...

[Martin E]

Save money and get your mum to knit one.

I assume it really doesn't, while paint can be sprayed on and left etc, there must be a lot of hand work involved in this, stitching the seems around the bass itself, sinking the bridge so it sits flat, the pickup cavities have no fraying etc, a lot of handwork has gone into it really, despite it looking terrible.

I'd hate spill coke on it, how are you supposed to wash it.

I like sand ergs stuff but some of it is terrible.
I really like the gold and silver playing option they have now too.

[bakerster135]

That looks disgusting to me! But then I do hate stonewash...

[Mudpup]

That is gonna be stinking after a few months of sweaty gigs......
I have a Sandy that I love and I really like the relic finishes but those fabric/leather ones are truly awful imho

It looks a mess when new. It's bloody awful.

[tommorichards]

Im gonna say that your worries about it getting dirty are entirely justified. My denim bass ives used on and off just for practice over the last few years, and it has gotten quite grimy. So yeah, i think that this bass is more of an art thing than anything else, lest the player wants it to end up like the jeans of the motley crue gang.

[bassmachine2112]

Do they do black skinnies ?

[Wilco]

There are always some really nice looking instruments on Bass Direct's website, which is what makes that complete turkey stand out even more!! I'm sorry, but that is truly horrible........

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Ugh!
