It's a Sandberg. I would prefer a 4 string version, but that's me. It is however dead sexy right?

Oh no.....I only plagiarize photos from places, not mine lol. But yes, I think the black one is at CME. But hey, I found the first finish check line in my AVRI 64 Jazz yesterday changing strings so check back in a few more years and I might have something cool.

I bought the sister of that bass from CME last summer, so I was curious. I'll post some photos soon. I'm looking to get a few new ones before doing the post. There is something about the tone of the 51 style Basses.

Thanks for posting this GFB - it is a good reference for my latest resurrection project. (aged/amber'd Sonic blue)

Love this one also!

I love Klaus Voorman's playing and his bass - nice pic.

yeah definitely a 4 string, but the explorer shape is my all time favorite.

Me too, but they are nice - their take on a T-bird/Iceman style.

Ok so some aren't terribly distressed but too lovely to not drag in.
