TRBboy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Is anyone else here REALLY indecisive? I've been trying to decide on the spec for a new Sandberg bass for AT LEAST 6 months now and it's driving me mad! For certain reasons i need to decide by Feb 1st, and can't come to a conclusion!

I'd say you don't need this bass then. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Why not just buy one off the shelf? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is i was aiming for the 'one bass to rule them all' type of thing, that could cover everything i need, i think that's why I'm being especially fussy about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was considering a cali VM5 in similar colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The configurator is the devil's work. I spend too much time on there imagining more Sandberg basses that I might one day buy! Why not give us some of your options to consider. Is there anything nailed down at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilco Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Try this configurator instead? https://www.public-peace.de/custom-shop I would say it has more options which might help you drill down to precisely what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Is it just the type of pick ups, pick up configuration etc. or the finish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I've played a handful of Sandbergs and they've been really nice, not my thing, but nice. That said, man, those headstocks are horrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great basses also, but it's the feel of the Sandberg basses that i love, the necks are just perfect in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so i think definitely a Cali VM5, i want something that isn't going to look out of place in any situation really, but also not too dull. Definitely maple fb, and probably dots. Trying to minimise any upgrades, but if i were to go with any of the Matt finishes I'd upgrade to swamp ash, but i kinda feel like I'm leaning more towards high gloss/alder at the moment. Must confess I've been dormant on BC for a while and i can't figure out how to upload any pics, otherwise I'd add some configurator pics!
