Bass Porn

Love this bass.
Do not love the pricetag.
And for that money, find pickup covers that match the orange…just sayin’

This!

Or, perhaps just use a black one for the bridge PU, and then the other’s off orange isn’t even such a big deal anymore, as it would be a highlight/accent…

Yeah, the softly-aged Sandberg I had briefly looked like somebody had taken a beautifully finished bass and whacked it randomly with the tip of a flathead screwdriver a few times. It didn’t look natural or road-worn or played-in. It just looked annoying.

If my basses ever get one or more dings or show wear, I want there to be a personal story behind each spot.

It’s like buying a new pair of jeans with holes in them.

I LOLed. However in the case of reliced guitars, I don’t think they are making and marketing those for the youngs :slight_smile:

I want a reliced bass as about as much as I want a reliced automobile :rofl:

Those red pickups look hideous. If they were black this would be very nice.

All very valid comments. Personally, I can’t help but think it would look better with a dark (rosewood or perhaps even ebony) fretboard.

Similar to this one (yes, I posted this before, but I still like it):

I can’t decide if I like it better or not with the pickups being a different orange.

First-world problems for sure…

Then again, for that kind of money… :crazy_face:

I had a pair of jeans like this once, I never got the bike back from the insurance assessor and the helmet was a write off…

I think everything looks nicer with a dark fingerboard.
