TRBboy Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Is anyone else here REALLY indecisive? I've been trying to decide on the spec for a new Sandberg bass for AT LEAST 6 months now and it's driving me mad! For certain reasons i need to decide by Feb 1st, and can't come to a conclusion! Quote

Grahambythesea Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Why not just buy one off the shelf? 1 Quote
LukeFRC Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 done it for you - stick this in their configurator thing: FE4-MC:VM-N-4S-34-HCR-BK-ALD-NOT-MPF-F-DTB-NOM-ANIH-CLT-2EQ-BP-X-RH 1 Quote

Trouble is i was aiming for the 'one bass to rule them all' type of thing, that could cover everything i need, i think that's why I'm being especially fussy about it Quote

Was considering a cali VM5 in similar colours. Quote

ead Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 The configurator is the devil's work. I spend too much time on there imagining more Sandberg basses that I might one day buy! Why not give us some of your options to consider. Is there anything nailed down at all? 1 Quote

Wilco Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Try this configurator instead? https://www.public-peace.de/custom-shop I would say it has more options which might help you drill down to precisely what you want. 2 Quote

Cuzzie Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Is it just the type of pick ups, pick up configuration etc. or the finish 1 Quote
NancyJohnson Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I've played a handful of Sandbergs and they've been really nice, not my thing, but nice. That said, man, those headstocks are horrific. 1 Quote

Great basses also, but it's the feel of the Sandberg basses that i love, the necks are just perfect in my hands. Quote

Okay, so i think definitely a Cali VM5, i want something that isn't going to look out of place in any situation really, but also not too dull. Definitely maple fb, and probably dots. Trying to minimise any upgrades, but if i were to go with any of the Matt finishes I'd upgrade to swamp ash, but i kinda feel like I'm leaning more towards high gloss/alder at the moment. Must confess I've been dormant on BC for a while and i can't figure out how to upload any pics, otherwise I'd add some configurator pics! Quote
