I guess it’s all in the hands. The CME dude simply does not nail the vintage vibe like Steve Araujo did on the Bass Hang video.
Yeah, I don’t think he was even trying...especially with the Fuzz pedal and Doom licks...
Doc, you mentioned that it’s totally worth he money, what is the cost?
I think it is $3K+. A P-bass that expensive is not for everyone, but for serious P-bass fans and players, it looks like a nice alternative to a Fender Custom Shop instrument.

Here is an Olinto for sale at Chicago Music Exchange.

you're right. i wasn't. but, the basses sold... ;-)
in all seriousness, I do my best to be as versatile as possible in the videos. I'll keep that in mind and make sure to hit the Motown/Soul vibes.
It's about $3000 less than a Masterbuilt that would be a close comparison. Mas is a friggin' artist.
Just to be clear, I wish I had your level of skill. I hope I meet you because I plan to come from Southern Illinois to check out some Sandbergs.
don't sell yourself short! i'm a slouch (according to Jeff Berlin)!
come by anytime!
Or Moollon or De Gier or AV or Roscoe or Mike Lull etc etc.
All are apparently the best. Yet there is no store in which to try them all

Well I don’t know if you were talking to me but I never said anything about being the best...that’s for every individual to decide for themselves. To me they are amongst the very best I’ve played for my taste and experience.
To Dr Cheese:
There are only two fivers made as of this moment ....a few more in the works. They just started making them...the first was a prototype and mine is the first real production bass. Killer bass. The four is stellar, both have Brazilian rosewood boards which is what brought me to them in the first place along with using nitro finishes.
I’ve also played a friends four and two Namm show booths worth of Olintos and have found them to be very consistent with of course some varying tone differences, all good imo.
