Jamieboy Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Can't believe I've done this. I've been playing for 25 years or so (with a gap of a few years in the middle) but I'm no more than an enthusiastic amateur. My main 'gig' is in the band of my church. Always said that one day I'd love to get a really nice bass, and that day has arrived. Sold my previous pride and joy (motorbike) and have put some of the funds to work on this. Just had delivery of this beautiful Sandberg California TT4 in aged rochfort blue. Just getting to know it a bit, but overjoyed with first impressions on noodling about with it! I love the attention to detail which has clearly gone into the aged finishing. 29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 She's a stunner! Bet you can shake some bums out of pews with that! Lovely finish on it. I really like the styling on these with the big pickup magnets and chunky bridges, they look non Fender enough without looking wrong.

Vanheusen77 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Great basses and what a cool finish! I have a TT(gold) and just got a new TT passive in marley blue, but I kind of regret I did not get this finish instead.

All of the individual elements are OK but the combination is all wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattpbass Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I’ve been gigging a 5-string Ida Nielsen (black/gold one) for the last 4 years and it’s an awesome bass, replaced an American Elite Jazz which it played and sounded better than. I also own a shell pink TT, but this new Ida just doesn’t hang together for me. Even the newer black ones aren’t as nice since they ran out of the original gold fabric for the pickguards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the silvery pickups are the offending element (or are those in the pic some sort of blank because you can spec it with various different types?).

mattpbass Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I think they’re just white without visible pole pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
