Which Sandberg do you think looks cooler?

I liked the white w/ gold also. I'd want the block inlay and pearl pick guard on it
Bottom one but with chrome hardware. I did not read the thread. What's the point? You either agree with me or you're wrong. Seriously though, I like blocks. Cream, white guard, chrome hw and blocks. That's your (my) bass.
Oh, the point is just to satiate my curiosity. I'm definitely going to just do what I want in the end for my personal order. It's not like the poll is going to really persuade my decision in terms of that. If anything, I tend to like the underdog and want the least popular (not a prevailing philosophy in my life... just with custom basses that I get.) But it's good market research since I do a lot of the buying and ordering for the store that I work for. So I get a kick out of seeing what people think and what they'd order if they could.
I'll probably do another thread more geared more towards that - instead of "pick from one of these three options that I like" it'll have more options to see what you all would like and I'll use that info to help determine what to order for the next batch of Sandbergs that I get into the store.
I know you have to say this because everyone else is listening, but we both know which bass you're going to choose.
I've actually already put in the change request ;-) Decision has been made. See post #13I know you have to say this because everyone else is listening, but we both know which bass you're going to choose.
Per TB rules, you are not allowed to make a decision on page one. I believe once you've initiated a poll, you have to go with the most popular choice. Sorry. It's not like I just sit here and make up this stuff. I'll try to find the link.
D'oh! I think you might be right.
What's the punishment? Lashings or something? Isn't being unpopular punishment enough though? haha
EDIT: I didn't make the decision then. Just decided to go with that choice as the day progressed. But still... the thread wasn't even 24 hours by the time I decided. So I guess you're right.
Maybe the thread will die before the mods see it. But it was probably already flagged because of the gold hardware.
never liked gold HW, and I don't care for red tort on white.
Chrome HW, black/grey tort on white. That would look good.

I like em' all, but I like your idea of the spare PG. Tort for everyday gigs, Pearloid for the Foo-Foo tuxedo gigs.
I really dislike white basses (despite the fact I used to use one as my main for about 11 years), when that is said I like the first cream one best.
I am not fond of the redish pickguard though either, doesn't match the color of the bass in my opinion and would probably chose one with a white pickguard like the bass on the last picture, black pickguard might look quite nice too for it.

Be careful with those screw holes when switchin' out the PGs.
Man, I'm loving everything about this model you're getting. Dying to hear/play one.
Agreed, I like black hardware in some applications too. Like, surf green jazz with maple board; white, mint, or Pearl guard; couldn't go wrong with black or Chrome on that bass.

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
I really like how Sandberg gets the p-pickup right and not backwards like Fender
