thebeat Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Was in two minds whether i was being cheesy by buying this 'aged' bass but glad i did as the sound is pretty amazing, it helped that it looks a bit like Simonons/Dee Dee bass that's been given a musicman pup. It has the usual Sandberg high build quality, the headstock decal states that it's a sandberg Custom Shop model, so i guess this helps too. Not sure how old the bass is but i guess it's a pretty old one as it doesn't have the 4 dots on the upper side of the neck pocket like the newer models do. It plays like a Sandberg should: very well.

Clarky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Oooh, thats nice. Looks punky and well-specced at the same time Quote
niceguyhomer Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Very nice indeed - my favourite colour. I have the same bass in black / black / maple, they're superb basses. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 My aged california didn't have the dots either, but I e-mailed Sandberg and they sent me some across. Quote
simon1964 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Very nice. I really like Sandberg's relics - much nicer than the Fender relics. Cracking basses too. Quote
