This is the first one i have seen, in natural colour.
When they where on the market in Sweden ( early 80´s) they only came in black solid!
This must be an collectors item.

Good Luck with the sale!!!

There are a few around in the natural colour, though the black was more popular (probably because Jonas favoured this colour scheme). I believe they were manufactured in an undisclosed factory in Italy through a licencing agreement Jonas made, but were sold under the 'sound of Sweden' name. Jonas also had some signature amplification being made at this time, under a similar agreement IIRC.

I´ll guess you are right. Talking to an old friend today who was working in the company selling the Hellborg bass, he said that in Sweden they only sold the Hellborg model in black.
The amp factory was in fact ( i belive) the same that made FBT. And since Hagstrom had been the REP for FBT in Sweden a few years earlier... none of the amps came out on the market in Sweden, as my friend could recall.
In the earlier thread about this, i think someone quoted Wikipedia on this subject!
Cheers!
