The body of this bass is made from premium European ash, while the neck is made from Canadian maple. It is bolted down with six screws, which keep it in a completely accurate position. The fingerboard is made of luxurious ebony and features 22 frets. The gauge of the instrument is 864 millimetres.
The guitar is equipped with a pair of pickups - in the middle position there is a single-coil type, namely the Sandberg Splitcoil model, while the Sandberg Humbucker takes care of the thick bass. A volume potentiometer, passive tone shield and active two-band EQ can be used to adjust the sound. But the latter can be removed from the signal path using the push/pull volume control, so the treble control works just like a tone.
The fingerboard is typically solid with separate stones, and in addition to great vibration transfer, it provides, for example, the possibility of adjusting the string spacing in the range of 18.5-20 mm. On the other side of the guitar we find Sandberg tuning machines.
The Sandberg California VM is an instrument that is sure to appeal to all fans of Precision Bass and its sound. For the price you get a really top bass guitar.
Sandberg offers its customers a unique opportunity to configure their own instrument according to their requirements. Take advantage of this opportunity and build your own original.
