NBD Sandberg California P (the sequel)

[jnewton]

I got home from a short but sweet EU/UK run to find this waiting for me.

I love it. Feels exactly like my white one. Sandberg is indeed amazing. I think I'm gonna do an antigua pp next.

The Delano's are a little too Music Man for me, dropping some Model P's in there.

Man, I like Sandbergs. Very nice.

Nice Bass! How is ETID going? Still rocking Orange/Aguilar?

mmmmmmmmmmm tasty the sandberg stock are very heavy sounding, some vintage voiced would be killer

Hi There,
Would you mind me asking where in Mass/USA you are getting your Sandbergs from? I haven't been able to find a dealer.

PS Nice avatar picture! Check out my sig.

Things are going well. I've got about 10 days off until we're busy again.

Keith and I just got back from being out with The Damned Things, it was fun.

I am indeed still playing Orange / Aguilar combo. Although, I finally got to try the Orange 8x10, it sounded really cool.

Brent, I get mine right from the factory.

oohhh i just noticed the relic job, is it one of sandbergs fancy resonance jobs?

they look the part, lloks like its had years of 'love'

im sure if you contact holger or the staff via the site they will sort your order or help you the best they can.

other than the headstock, which I'm not too crazy about, sandbergs are definitely some of the classiest looking basses around!

Looks nice.
Got a fretless sandberg California myself. Love the feeling!!

what is up with the headstock? it looks fine im not meaning to sound weird/defensive with this but its really close to the 'standard' fender style that its barely a noticable diffrence.

 

[jnewton]

I'm pretty picky about headstocks, this one doesn't put me off at all.

 

[5string5fingers]

Yea I'm surprised Fender isnt all

About that headstock

just my taste I guess, and it's not a Fender only taste either. Wouldn't stop me from buying one if I liked the way it felt/played though. . . ymmv

 

[darthplagis]

hehe i like a little variation to the norm, SX fish hook is a little weird though.

but i prefer tele style heads and T bird heads but since i play 5's most of the time its usually 4+1 or 3+2 MM style.

you know i never thought of asking if they did antiguar when i ordered mine, but damn i wish i had of

 

[pasta4lnch]

I just saw an antigua for the first time in person the other day . . . looked sweeeeet!
