fretmeister Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Looks lovely! Don't know what's under the pickup cover but it could be a bit Mustang like? EDIT for Demo Edited February 20, 2023 by fretmeister 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I’m a big Sandberg fan and can’t fault them, but I can’t say I like those, 🤔 Edited February 19, 2023 by Reggaebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Body reminds me of the old Ned Callan basses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayn Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Looks like it's influenced by the Epiphone Newport and Serek Midwestern. Look better with a 2-a-side headstock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Reminds me of Gibson DC Junior bass in body shape and pickup placement Edited February 19, 2023 by Clarky 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Retro is very "now" if that makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycloud Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Probably a fine bass, but it does nothing for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentext Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 these look great but gotta say the headstock just doesn't work with this body shape for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPHDS Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Quite like the look of that.....! (but then I do also like the LP Jr DC!) Do agree on the headstock looking a tad out of place though.... Any idea on the specs - can't find owt on t'interweb....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Saw the first pic and hadn't read any comments and my over riding first impression was... wrong headstock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 A bit underwhelming, even if in a retro 60s/70s manner… wonder how long they’ll stay on the books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Not convinced that modern bridge works visually with the vintage style look of the bass either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentext Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 @TheGreekgood spot on the bridge, looks WHACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Very DC Jnr a-like. I can live with the headstock and bridge, it's the four dots they put on the body that I'm not a fan of. Still wouldn't put me off having one though, especially that green and maple, swoon!..........as long as it doesn't have a matching headstock.

LukeFRC Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 what has been said - wrong headstock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddycall Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Aesthetically not for me at all - headstock bridge the massive area of nothing between bridge and pickup shapes just a bit weird and featureless its a shame as im always hoping someone’s going to bring out something new but they’re so often miles off the mark for me. Can’t get excited about fender a likes either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayn Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I think the bridge looks just right on that bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 If only they had a pre-existing 2+2 headstock design…🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergs40 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 https://www.sandberg-guitars.de/guitars-2/sandberg-florence-series/ The Florence does already exist as a guitar: with a 3:3 headstock… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisswanbon Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Another example of lazy design work... They've looked at what's popular at the moment (Serek etc as previously mentioned) and stuck a Sandberg neck on it. I'm sure it'll be fantastically made, and most likely sound brilliant too... But I bet it comes with a hefty price tag for something other companies are already doing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Love the aesthetic. Would be worried the body is a bit big for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
