visog Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Is it me or have the drool-worthy P and J bass shapes, as on Bass Directs stock page: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg.html Been replaced by Sandberg with less sexy shapes in both case: http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calt-series/caltt http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calv-series ???

cocco Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I have to agree. The new shape isnt as good and WOT's Jake is a bit sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I really like the new ones as well. If I wanted a Fender I'd buy a Fender. As it happens I'm in the market for a 4 string passive jazz type and I was looking at the old TT Sandberg - but I really like the newer shape so I'm going to wait and try a few.

visog Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Fender would charge $$$$$$$$$ for an aged five is custom colours and still wouldn't do the cool P-bass hot-rodding or J/MM mix-ups... And the QC would be Fenders half-arsed job compared with our fanatical German friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I have a TM5 already and it's brilliant. The quality is amazing. But I'm still happy that any new one I buy will be different - far too many Fender clones out there already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I like their new P Bass shape a lot. I had a go on the configurator and a black with maple jobbie would be just the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
