Ok I have a stupid question. I thought Sandbergs were fairly new to the game but this seller claims 30 years on the stage for this bass.

I guess it's just supposed to look like it's 30 years old. Right?

It's gotta be a relic.

"Hardcore cream" finish??

From Wiki: "Sandberg Guitars was founded in 1986 by Holger Stonjek with his friend Gerd Gorzelke. Stonjek was at the time in training as a piano maker in the company based in Braunschweig Wilhelm Schimmel piano factory GmbH . Company Sandberg gave her name after her first workshop address Am Sandberg in Ehmen" Link: http://translate.google.com/translat...ed=0CDIQ7gEwAA

Just like that it comes out of no place.

The 30 years old is in regard to the "Hardcore" aging. It's made to look like it has been played for 30 years. Check out the site, it's really nice.
