*Now may be open for specific trades (light-ish passive Sandbergs or Sandberg Basic)

[b][color=#ff0000]*Withdrawn due to coming to my senses[/color] :D[/b]

i have decided to sell my beautiful Sandberg "California" VM4 made around 2004-6 (I think). I have 3 other Sandbergs and have decided that as much as I love this bass I only want to play passive basses now.

It doesn't say California on the headstock instead it says "Custom Shop Instrument". From enquiries I made to Sandberg I believe this was a special bass built before Sandberg officially started making the California series.
I bought this on here in 2010 and have used it regularly since. It has a very reasonable weight of 9lbs 2oz and has terrific balance.

I upgraded the old active circuit with a brand new Sandberg preamp as the old one did not have a passive treble control and I also added a new style aged nickle Sandberg string tree instead of the old Fender style one.

The finish is a really nice soft-aged white/cream. I don't think I added any further dings!

This bass has Delano pickups in a P and MM style rather than Sandberg's own versions (which most of the VM's have) and the preamp is Sandberg's own 2-band with active/passive push/pull volume knob (made by Glockenklang for Sandberg)

The neck is 40mm at the zero fret,so a little wider than a Jazz but narrower than a typical Precision and has a fairly slim feel and plays very well. I believe that the body wood is Alder.

The bass comes with a Sandberg gig bag.

I am based in Northampton and I would prefer collection only (or meet within reasonable distance). See new trade options at the top.
