Opticaleye Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have a feeling that a VM would have neck dive given the smaller V shape body. The total weight would probably be around 2.6kg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Remember though the European Maple is lighter than the usual Canadian Hardrock, and also there are lightweigt aluminium tuners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Sandberg on Facebook if I could order a VM SL. They said yes I can! Seems they'll do any California II as a superlight. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FacStudio Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If you want to here the SuperLight Sandberg go to 20mins in this video.. Sandberg - Thomann/Studio Chimiel. Sounds fantastic. If you’re a Jazz Bass and Slapper, you’ll love this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That black burst with the super-straight grain is a very cool look. Especially with a plain maple neck (no dots or blocks). Really classy, naked sorta look. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas it's also about £800 more than the Sandberg. Which means I can't afford it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the optional extras are absurd. Particularly the $100 it costs to have black hardware instead of chrome. Madness.

Cuzzie Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Sheeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!! I popped an alder body and graphite neck bass together for way less, and I bet it don’t sound about fifty times as poop as tha Modulus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreensall Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I checked with the factory and so far have not checked how a VM plays and sounds, so it's not available to order yet. Keep in touch and I'll let you know in the meantime 3 more have arrived this week into the UK. One will be on display at the Birmingham Guitar show #TGS19 #theguitarshow #birmingham #theuksbiggestguitarshow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 It has arrived. After a small heart attack of strange noises that I quickly realised was being caused by my wireless but being too close to the preamp I got it plugged in. But first the weight.... 6.58 lb!!!! Astonishingly light. It felt so odd I wondered if it was too light for me, but that feeling passed quick. So far I've had a 20 minute blast at lunchtime through my Helix and studio monitors. Even through the monitors and not my usual BF One10s it is really punchy. Very Marcus Miller. Neck is super smooth, fretwork is very nice. Strings... meh! But I either use D'addario or TI Flats and nothing else. I forgot to order any at the same time as the bass but thanks to Amazon Prime some D'addarios will arrive this evening. I have a rehearsal tomorrow morning so I think I'll jump in the deep end and use it straight away and see what happens. I'll report more after rehearsal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
