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 pau ferro wood and features 22 frets. The gauge of the instrument is 864 millimetres.
The bass is equipped with two humbucker pickups, namely Sandberg Powerhumbucker models. These offer both the standard "PB" sound and something extra, thanks to the cob 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 made by Sandberg. On the other side of the guitar we find Sandberg tuning machines.
Sandberg California VM are instruments that will surely appeal not only to all fans of Precision Bass and their sound. For the price you get a really top bass guitar.
