NBD: Sandberg Patchwork

[Cowboy in Latvia]

I really expected not to like it. Then I saw the relicing, which I usually don't like. Then I saw the 5 different tuner finishes...and realized I really like the whole bass. It just works. Congrats on an awesome bass.

Man!! I LOVE it too!! Congrats on that unique, gorgeous, one of a kind bowl of fruit loops with strings that make cool sounds!!

I am pretty jealous of that one...for realz!

 

[ModuMan]

That's really awesome. I saw the NAMM post but it's great to see here the level of detail that is present. Congrats!

[BigBear77]

Pretty cool
Is the fingerboard different woods?

 

[TonyP-]

I played one at NAMM years ago and it was awesome.

 

[bordinco90]

That's one of the coolest basses I've ever seen.

 

[rashrader]

That's groovy!! Congrats.

 

[Jokei]

I almost like it, if the bridge pickup was black...

 

[songwriter21]

Pretty cool
Is the fingerboard different woods?

The woods, from lowest to highest fret, are birdseye maple, ebony, vintage-tinted maple, and rosewood.

 

[DigthemLows]

I always felt that it sounded friggin awesome.



Congrats, nice score!

Did Sandberg ever find the one that was stolen from last year’s NAMM?

yes with the help of a customer of Chicago music exchange I believe

 

[Runnerman]

Congrats!
Absolutely love it!

 

[BadSanta1281]

Oh yeah!

 

[scuzzy]

That's awesome. Like Ritter, I appreciate when builders push the limits of conventional design. Not for everyone, but it's for some , and that's what keeps things interesting.

 

[BigAlBass69]

I just love the complete fashion line one can get for this bass. Who says it doesn't go with anything?

Hi DigthemLows

I saw a pic of this in the NAMM thread

Little story about your "Patchwork Bass".

When it was presented the first time,

on the Sandberg homepage, a lot of people thought it was a faked pic. (no way this is real )

That' s why it still has the nickname "Photoshop Bass".




4 Sandberg jumpys and happy NBD!!!

greetings

I thought that was just a photoshopped pic

You are not the only one!!!

 

[nonohmic]

The fact that one section is relic'd is brilliance.
