dannybuoy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well, this is a first. Would it be a fashion faux pas to play this bass wearing jeans? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_VM4_Jeans_finish.html [Img]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_VM4_Jeans_finish_files/Jeantop590.jpg" class="ipsImage" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think Id prefer it if it had a different colour pick guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapolpora Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Cool wash? Tumble dry? Or dry-clean only? Seriously, I saw this earlier and thought within a year of grubby hands all over it it would look disgusting. I wonder what finish it is underneath?

lapolpora Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's a £699 option! One expensive pair of jeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) I love Sandberg stuff, but the leather and now denim coated basses are truly awful Edited May 20, 2014 by walbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Does it have a pocket for a pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 They really missed a trick by not having a watch pocket in the front to store spare picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Why is it so expensive to have that option? Surely cheaper than paint/polish! What happens if you wear through? Could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Truly bizzare, as someone comments on Mark's facebook post, that is going to look a complete mess if used by a regular gigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basshead56 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wont be allowed to play it in posh clubs then, even with a flash blazer I reckon you should be able to get it in pre-slashed as an option too, keep the pretend punks happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you wear through? Could happen. [/quote] I assume it really doesn't, while paint can be sprayed on and left etc, there must be a lot of hand work involved in this, stitching the seems around the bass itself, sinking the bridge so it sits flat, the pickup cavities have no fraying etc, a lot of handwork has gone into it really, despite it looking terrible. I'd hate spill coke on it, how are you supposed to wash it. I like sand ergs stuff but some of it is terrible. I really like the gold and silver playing option they have now too.

tommorichards Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Im gonna say that your worries about it getting dirty are entirely justified. My denim bass ives used on and off just for practice over the last few years, and it has gotten quite grimy. So yeah, i think that this bass is more of an art thing than anything else, lest the player wants it to end up like the jeans of the motley crue gang.
