I really hate it, but I'm curious about the build and finishing process.
Is the pickguard one piece fused together, or two?

I didn't read the whole thread, so forgive me if someone has already mentioned this.
You REALLY need to play this bass thru a Quilter amp.....
Oh, the irony

Did anyone comment on the fact that they actually chopped up a bunch of basses to build this? That takes some serious skill.
Agreed. You cannot feel even a bump between woods. If you look at the upper horn, that "bass" has a top. It's really something unique.
Understand the hate, it's all good (otherwise there'd only be one kind of bass out there
). As far as the pickguard, I don't know if they are "fused" or not, I haven't tried to remove, but it's two different guards at least butted right against each other.

I mean I hate it in a way where I would personally never buy it. But I certainly don't hold anything against someone else who might feel differently. Variety is the spice of life, or whatever.
I really want to know if it's a bunch of finished basses cut up and somehow glued together perfectly, or if it was assembled "raw" first and then finished in different ways.
Not my cup of tea personally, but definitely distinctive and eye-catching, and no doubt it plays and sounds great, as well. Enjoy!
Would you describe the tone as colorful ? lol Had to do it.
NICE RA.

Hi songwriter21
Birdseye maple with black blocks; ebony, maple (tinted); Pau Ferro with pearl blocks
I think it' s rather Pau Ferro.
They won' t produce a pile of paperwork,
for a piece of wood that has the size of a postcard!

That is correct, it's Pau Ferro. Waiting to hear from Sandberg on body woods, the hang tag just says "patchwork" lol .........

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.

Pau ferro is a type of rosewood, so I generalized.

I see a post coming..."BL threatens to fire me cos my bass looks strange"
Pretty sure it’s a bunch of cut up basses, except the fretboard but maybe they recycled that too.I mean I hate it in a way where I would personally never buy it. But I certainly don't hold anything against someone else who might feel differently. Variety is the spice of life, or whatever.

Quite possibly the coolest NBD I've ever seen. Wow! I'd rock the hell out of that thang.
Just got a note from Sandberg. Body is from Bridge to Neck: Ash, Ash, Alder, Mahogany. I'll have some fun getting to post this in every "Maple vs. Redwood" and "Ash vs. Alder" thread ... Thanks everyone, I have a 3 hour gig on friday, I'll put it to the test! ....
