I actually ordered the Masterpiece 8 months or more back but BAX could give me no guarantees that that was the actual instrument I'd get, or was in stock at their suppliers even, so I chickened out and cancelled. It was a slightly higher price then though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I seen that - those ones are listed at 4 days I think, some like the DK say 11 weeks, I think that Umbo has been hanging around for a while and I nearly moved on it a while back and it goes up and down in price. I was going to compare it to my existing TT, but then the price jumped to over a grand again - that day - they look at Marlow forces and exchange rates and alter things - I think my multiple enquiries whilst thinking made them look for more profit! They also have a generic Korea/Germany country of origin and list it as basswood/linden and not Alder. Fingers crossed it may be OK But I am not buying right now!

PatrickJ Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) NBD for me! I picked up this VM4 from the classifieds earlier today, It's a 2013 so the body shape is more traditional P than my newer VT4 and so a little heavier but I really wanted to give a MM style pickup a go.

dmccombe7 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 New to Sandbergs but is the VS4 the same bass as an Electra VS4 ? Are there different versions of the VS4 ? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 VS4 is produced all in Germany and their ‘flagship’ range Electra is their range where the parts are manufactured out east, but assembly and final check in Germany, so not budget, just a bit cheaper - they tend not to have any aged finishes either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Different versions will be pre 2015 and post 2015 shape and obviously different fretboard, wood, electronics choices, passive/active etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
