Last weekend I got this real low down and dirty 4 stringer and although I know it wont be everyones cup of tea it's actually my dream bass. It plays and sounds Fu£&in awesome. I'm really loving playing the bass and am now looking for a good local bass tutor.... I just gotta start getting the funk on!!!

I love Sandberg basses, and really appreciate the attention to detail they go into for their relic'd lines. It's exhausting to hear how many steps they take to make sure it looks as authentic as possible.

Yeah I know. Mine is hardcore aged, the next level up is masterbuilt aged which I could have got but they age the back of the neck and fretboard, something I don't like. I like the back of the neck to be smooth and no dings which this one is.

I don't really care for the rest of the bass, but I love the pickups.

Cheers fellas. First rehearsal with it last night and once I got used to the eq compared to my other Sandbergs with big fat humbuckers it was fantastic. Easier to play, a more articulate clearer sound and it just feels like an old pair of jeans.... I love it. I know a lot of folk don't like the whole relic thing and I get it, but one things for sure I don't have to worry about being too careful with it! Ha ha. That's not what this is all about for me, the care and attention to detail is astonishing and even though my other Sandbergs are Pro level instruments this is a clear step up and well worth the investment. I've always wanted a '65 Jazz since I played my mates and I'm not disappointed with anything. This is one of those instruments that inspired you, you feel it vibrate and don't want to put it down. The only limitation is me, I really want to step up my game to the most out of it.

I'll be interested to see what my mate thinks compared to his but as I say to my mates and band mates, I buy gear for me to enjoy and not them!

That looks awesome. J-bass with a maple board and 22 frets? Perfect.

Cheers, it looks far better in the hands.
