Sandberg California VM 5 Patchwork

This unique and rare model called Patchwork from the renowned Sandberg company is not only a unique and first-class instrument, but also a work of art that will definitely catch the eye not only on stage, but also anywhere outside. The craftsmen in the company's German workshops have made sure that you will find literally the best of everything in this instrument.

Sandberg California VM electric basses are instruments based on the time-tested Precision Bass design concept. Like other Sandberg instruments, these are made in Germany from absolutely first-class materials by a team of highly experienced guitar builders. There's really no need to worry about quality here.

The body of this bass is made from a combination of alder, ash and mahogany, which gives the instrument a very interesting sound. The neck is made of Canadian maple and is bolted on with six screws, which keep it in a very precise position. The fingerboard is then made from a combination of ebony, Pau Ferro wood and both baked and traditional maple. It has 22 frets and a gauge of 864 millimetres.

The guitar is equipped with one humbucker and one single-coil pickup, namely the Sandberg Powerhumbucker and Splitcoil models. These offer both the standard "PB" sound and a little something extra, thanks to the humbucker. A volume potentiometer, Balance, 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 Tone. The fingerboard is typically solid with separate stones and adjustable string spacing (18.5-20mm), made by Sandberg. On the other side of the guitar we find Sandberg tuning machines. Even the hardware does not lag behind the unconventional design of this instrument, which is why you will find both chrome, gold, black or nickel hardware pieces.

The Sandberg California VM is an instrument that is sure to appeal to all fans of the Precision Bass sound. For the price you get a really top bass.
