Which Sandberg do you think looks cooler?

Man, I'm loving everything about this model you're getting. Dying to hear/play one.

Pretty much all of the Prince w/3rdEyeGirl videos on youtube (the live ones, at least) have Ida Nielsen playing a Sandberg VM4 (just a 4-string version of what I'm getting). That can give you some insight on the tone. It sounds impressive, but the playability and feel are what get to me the most. Love it.

The one thing I would do is ask him not to put those four dots on every single part of the bass. It's like he's insecure about the branding he's got going on there.

So, sounds like this, eh? :

Gold hardware is never the right answer

30 years amd counting, but then anything Schaller is, IME, bulletproof...

Wow. Bitchin' band, that one. HA! That bass really has it's own sound, yet Music Man-ish, too. Hope I can try one sometime. Enjoy it!

Looks like the traditional cream/tort was the runaway winner! Thanks for all of your input, guys (and gals). I ended up still changing my build but had a lot of fun seeing what you guys thought of everything.
Stay tuned for more polls like this that will lead to basses that you can actually purchase for yourself. And certainly, if anyone has any interest in a Sandberg, you can definitely PM me here to chat.
