Acoustic Gear


Sandberg California TSBS, California marloweDK, and Electra VS4
German bass specialist Sandberg brought the new California TSBS Torsten Scholz signature (left), California marloweDK signature (middle), and Electra VS4 to Frankfurt. The latter features a basswood body and woodwork that’s done overseas, while setup is done at the factory in Germany. The Electra also features Sandberg’s trademark 6-bolt neck and a defeatable active circuit. sandberg-guitars.de


Duesenberg Guitars D-Bass Fretless
The new D-Bass Fretless features an alder body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, a brass bridge with steel saddles, and a split-coil humbucker controlled by volume, blend, and tone knobs. duesenberg.de


Wahlbrink Hades
The new Hades 4-string features an alder body, a figured maple neck, Häussel Soapbar pickups (with volume, blend, and stacked bass and treble knobs), and a salmon leather-covered pickguard. custom-instruments.com


Nick Page Guitars Gott
Nick Page’s guitars are always a feast for the eyes—combining texture and color in striking ways. The Gott bass marries Rickenbacker touches with paisley Fender and Zemaitis touches, has a swamp-ash body topped with paisley fabric, an ETS bridge, and super-cool pickup covers that are flush with the pole pieces. nickpageguitars.com
