I just ran Sandberg’s configurator for a mahogany with a parchment pickguard and emailed Doctorbass in Burgos, Spain to see if they could order one now instead of waiting for many months. We shall see.
I’ll know in a few hours, because of those three sweet words, “Out for Delivery”. But I expect the typical tortoiseshell, which is among my least favorite, but at least with the bass color it won’t clash. And I can always paint it or get a custom made
That’s one of the things that sold me is the bass sounds versatile, or at least enough for my vibe. Patrick Hunter did a review and it rocks out too.
It will be my first plek’d bass too, and has a zero fret. Lot to like
I’ve been playing around in the McGrath bass builder tool. I thought I might actually consider one if I could make up my mind on how I would actually want it customize it. So many options and sadly no way to test it before spending the money. My top considerations are doing a Thunderhorse style with TB/Reverse P/MM pickups or two TB pickups in the Pbass or Jbass style body.
They have quite a few different bass demos on youtube. I’m sure there’s no way you can really screw up a build. I just can’t decide what combo of pickups I would be happiest with. Given the price I feel like I’d need to be very sure
Beat me to posting this. Me personally, I don’t like the reverse headstock on the Florence. I like the new finish, but not nearly enough to regret just ordering the mahogany Florence with the standard headstock.
