Sandberg Electra VS4

How do these compare to MiM Febder Ps? Worth a shot?

In my opinion Sandbergs are very well made and even the "budget" end will outperform most others at the same price points.

I've played a few Electras and they are fantastic basses with a good consistency of build and sound - with Fenders, its a bit hit or miss whether you'll get a good one or not. The Electra has a lovely natural wiry zing to the sound but you can dial it out easily if you want old school thud. The necks are awesome too.

Well worth a punt and you won't lose much if you decide to flip it later

I have played the Electra series, both jazz and P-bass.
I actually own the P bass, and in my opinion it's a winner.
I've had Fender mexican P-basses too, but the Electra is my preferred choice.
If it was stolen or broken I would get a new one without any hesitation - can't recommend it enough!

I'd go for the Electra, every time.

And that one looks very cool.

Always been intrigued by these but can't help but think Sandberg missed a trick by not including a five string in the range

I briefly owned a German-made VS (all passive though). Cracking bass, it was a very close call between it and a Jazz for the blues band I inhabit in a Boys Night Out kind of way..

I have the sunburst/black hardware version of this and it's a great bit of kit for the money.

I've currently got it strung with flats. At the time, I also played the "J" version which was also nice.
