Hi,

I just wonder if someone knows anything about Sandbergs The Axe Bass?
It would be funny if anyone has some info on this "monster"

Cheers
Sepulcretum.

Sepulcretum · #3 07-01-2010, 12:39 AM

All I know is that is some kind of Custom model and was made in 3-5 copys...

Gene Simmons got owned pretty badly.

Man I hope no one drops that on their foot.

Actally it is surprisingly light. It is handmade and individually paint brushed.
Now thats a real Axe

Odd. I'd still opt for this one for the money.

As do I, but that Sandberg would probably sound like junk in that occasion. Corts aren't really that bad. They've made alot of specialty basses. I think the Axe sounds relatively cool.

You might be right...

I´ll have to try it out and let you know how it was...

And it was not my intension to talk bad about Cort...

Oh, I know you were't. I'm interested to see how the Sandberg sounds, though.

One of those basses resides here in Denmark. The owner is "Bob Thunder"

from the band Ripe (riperocks.dk)

I picked up the bass once but found it unsuited for my playing style.

@ Middlebit;

Where did you find that picture?
I looked everywhere on their home page without luck...

I think a friend of mine sent it to me - he's the other guitarist in Ripe and co-owns the studio pictured. Why do you want to find it on their website? It's right here...

Sepulcretum · #17 07-01-2010, 08:00 AM

He he...
I just hoped I could find some more pictures of him and the bass.

Do you know where he got i from?
Any other info on the bass?

Cheers.

Well, Bob works at the Danish equivalent of Guitar Center, so I suspect he knew something most people didn't, like how to get a hold of one. I don't know what the thing cost but it's plainly more of a gimmick than a playable instrument, IMO. The bass is very heavy and the shape made it nearly impossible for me to handle.

Sepulcretum · #19 07-01-2010, 08:16 AM

Okey...thank you for your info...

I think it is quite light actually...concider the large body.

Mine will be a artistic object but I will also use it...or else it would be a shame...

im pretty sure if you contact holger either direct or via your local dealer, a custom axe could be made. it is on the custom jobs page so that implies that they will do it again.

just expect it to be pricey

especially if you will be importing from Germany to USA.
