This bass was used one time in one session in a climate controlled studio. This was a very unique and very rare build. It was a $1,100 premium for the additional hand paint. This is truly an amazing bass and should be a permanent addition to any collection.
This bass features Sandberg's newest version of the California body shape along with Sandberg pickups and preamp that Glockenklang helped them develop. The reverse-P pickup and MM-style bridge humbucker combine to provide anything from familiar vintage tones to uniquely modern and hi-fi sounds. This is an extraordinarily versatile bass. This bass is made out with an alder body, Canadian hard maple, and an ebony fretboard.
