The only bass that loses it’s flavor in less than 1 minute. :rofl:

“Can” and “should” are two distinctly different things. :joy:

Mayones does creative patchwork-y designs on some of their Calis simply because they make them from pieces left over from their full-scale bass builds. This Sandberg is something else entirely. But whatevs. If they have the time to do it, it is what it is. :man_shrugging:

I think they make them typically as “attention grabbers” for their NAMM booths

I don’t know about the tone of that bottom one, but it sure looks like it would at least taste sweet. :lollipop:

This was one of the in-process Calis they sent me photos to choose from.

Here are the two I bought. Custom strings. The 4-string set was already available from their online store, but the 5-string set wasn’t. They were willing to package a spare 5-string set to go with the spare 4-string set I ordered at the same time as the basses. The Cali 4 is gorgeous. I like the Cali 5, but my first choice was sold the evening I received the photos, before I got back to them the next day. So that Cali 5 was my second choice.

My wife would be hunting you down if she could see how lustfully I’m looking at this one. SUPER COOL!. I’d like it more with a dark gray fingerboard where you can see the grain but it’s almost black.

This fretboard is made of Pale Moon Ebony. It is a premium wood — a true upgrade wood with an equally upgrade price — and it is perfect in its natural colors, as in this beautiful bass design.
