NJW Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Just thought I'd post some pictures of my new 'swiss army knife'. I will post a full review later (perhaps tonight, I can't decide how sleepy I am). It's a Sandberg California PM, 4 string, with matt black burst finish on alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Active/Passive switchable, with 2 band EQ, blend + volume. It plays great and sounds great. Happy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryll-Profane Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I'm a big fan of the Delano pickups. Sure that will sound killer. Enjoy! Edit: Although they are sandberg branded??

OutToPlayJazz Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lovely looking bass - I played one of the jazz bass versions with the humbucker at the bridge at Electro a while ago. Was very impressed with the sheer punch of the thing! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
