Show Us Your Basses (Part 1)

With that shape, more like a roman pilum.

IJWS I am impressed you got the weapon reference historically accurate there :rofl:

It’s a standoff bass, one you can throw in an emergency.

I had to google pilum :flushed:

That’s why I was impressed, it’s an obscure bit of historical trivia :slight_smile:

I started 2 years ago to finally play bass after thinking about it for at least 20 years.… I took my sons Squier Jazz bass for a try and was sold immediately. After that a Fender Player Series Precision (with flats) and a Fender Player Series Jazz bass (rounds) followed. Recently defretted the Squier to try some fretless as well (with my sons permission :wink:)…
My Precision is definitely my preferred bass (both sound and playability)

Well, I could have gone with a more flashy colour like red or orange. However, that’s the colour Thomann picked for that special edition :person_shrugging:t3:
They did a similar model for a jazz bass in grey as well, but with metal pickup covers.

I like the your bass matches your living space. Sandberg’s are great build quality, let us know how it works out for you.

Very very nice @Krescht I’ve had to disable the Sandberg ‘configurator’ from my Imac :wink:

So, it was/is a limited run? Do they still offer them?? :sweat_smile:

Think they do, this configuration seems quite expensive. My GAS was lit as well :joy:

Ha, no… gotta save up for something else :grin: But, that color is really nice (kinda like the dolphin grey on the Japanese Aerodynes)!

It’s still on and I was lucky that I got it for a bit less :crazy_face:

No pictures though… Must have gotten one of the first ones.

Wait what? Where’s the pink and tort? Man I’m so gullible, lol.

For a second there I thought that it was the Cutlass the Pickguard looks very similar, I love the idea of the 2 piece pickguard.

Congrats @Krescht it’s gorgeous.
