In terms of the costs, there would be more to it than just adding a note due to the code that's generated by the configurator. Therefore, if a different pup type is selected, that change would need to be reflected along the whole configuration process which means the change potentially touches all the stages. With software dev, the more things a change affects, the higher the risk of something going wrong (introducing a bug etc) so the longer it takes to write and test the code. I assume that this has been looked at by the Sandberg team and wouldn't be surprised to see it introduced at some point, it's probably just not on the development timeline at the moment. I believe they're building a new "standard" website, so guess all the software dev budget is tied up in that project.

Think you're being a little harsh tbh. The Sandberg configurator is one of the, if not the, best configuration sites online. It gives you literally thousands or options using the stock electronics, if you're serious about buying a bass, a quick email to a distributor will let you know the additional cost. Don't forget, software development is very expensive, even adding a seemingly simple option can work out to be days, if not weeks of work, depending on how many parts of the site the change touches.

I'm not sure that the configurator has every single option available and you can't buy directly though it, you need to go to a distributor, with whom you can discuss your specific requirements before placing your order.

Nice!

Looks fantastic, nice job!

Can't stop looking at this, it's beautiful. Read through the build diary earlier too, fabulous attention to detail. Do you do commissions?!

+1 for black strings but with red silks! Also, you've got to get a black jack socket Looking the biz tho, that fretboard looks very cool 😎

@NUTROCK no worries fella. Good luck, hope its a winner 😉

Looks awesome, congrats!

Well, it's definitely a limited edition bass (one of 500 made) so I'm sure that there are those who've bought one to keep as an investment. As those will have been kept in pristine condition, any basses with signs of play won't be as (potentially) valuable in the future in comparison. So, if the one you've got your eye on has any marks etc already, I wouldn't worry at all about keeping it as a case queen.

😬

Cool, this is gonna look great. I can just imagine the excitement when the one in a million bass question comes up 😜

Bingo! That's the one, cracking knowledge 👍🏻

Its funny, I was looking for a red tort plate for my black P earlier and one of these was on a bass that appeared in the search results. Looks great on the bass but I can't find that picture again 🙄

Saw them at the Jazz Cafe last year, absolutely brilliant. Andrew Levy was just walking around before the gig but I was too shy to go and say hi. Proper bass hero

😬 Tbh, I didn't actually use an iRig, I'm way too cheap. It was a few years back but I bought a cheap interface cable off eBay, probably from China and it seems to work OK. They don't seem to sell them on there now, but this is the cable - http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3511

User error 😜

Shame, its a neat solution. Just plug in via an iRig connector which the bass and headphones also plug into and you're good to go. Lots of free amp apps available with loads of effects, you can record and even collaborate online.

Have you tried an ipad with garage band?

Early Faith No More (thinking The Real Thing & Angel Dust albums)? Pretty much covers all those genres already, just switch the parts to suit the individual.

Heh "Thrill as they delight upon their instruments"

Try dropping the Warwick bomb in a Spector forum! I once asked why Spector fans get their tits in a tangle about Warwick whereas Fender fans don't seem to get stressed about the multitude of Fender copies... Well, now I know in no uncertain terms that US Spector fans in particular really, really care about copyright laws... 😄

😄 Other headstock styles are available 😜
