"I like to play and try out different basses since I believe that you can’t find everything you need in just one bass –even though you can get close […]

Sandberg: California VM hardcore aged master piece

Yamaha: TRB5

Fender: Jazz bass."

"I have had the great opportunity to create my own signature bass with Sandberg guitars. It was a natural choice for me since I have been playing (and loving it) the California VM hard core aged masterpiece for many years and I know the bass + the nice people at Sandberg very well. I wanted to make a bass that fit the music I played with PRINCE as well as my own music. So basically a bass with a nice rock and funk tone with an ability to sound more old school and some extra options when it comes to create different solo sounds. I think we build a very beautiful bass with lots of different sound options but most importantly -a bass that is super funky sounding. A video will be made soon to demo the different features and sound options. In the mean time feel free to browse around the pics and check out the specs -I hope you think it is as beautiful as I do :) (This is a 4 string bass but it will also come in a 5 string version)."
