Having owned a Sandberg California JM4, I can say I haven't played a better bass for under £1000. Good tonal options with the jazz and MM pickup. Also, Delano pickups are definitely the way forward in my eyes, awesome sounding things. Best neck I have ever played on any instrument, the blackburst finish was stunning, very responsive eq and very very well built. I really cannot recommend them enough and I am gutted that I got rid of mine!
So in response to Chardbass, I would suggest that the Lakky would have more than a match on its hands with the Sandberg
