A question for Sandberg owners

I'm interested inĀ  a Sandberg VS4, considering selling on my Fender Custom Shop P to do so (so many basses, so little time šŸ˜„) , and I'm wondering how Sandbergs sound acoustically. My CS is incredibly resonant and pretty loud acoustically and want to get a feeler for how a VS4 might size up. Also, I'm hoping Sandberg use a thin finish to help with resonance.

It's important to me what a bass sounds like unplugged as this is the base tone that gets amplified imo (can of worms topic that I don't want to get into!)

Thoughts?

Absolutely bloody brilliant acoustically, cracking well made basses.

You have so many colour, finish and ageing options and so far as pick ups go, Sandberg, Sandberg black labels, Delano, HaĆ¼ssel, I may have seen the odd one with Kloppman pick ups.Ā Ā If you want a super light bass, you may want to check if they are also doing their Cedar bodied one which comes in under 3kg in the VS4 configuration (these are not usually aged, but they may move to that)

They are great

Iā€™d agree with a slightly heavier bass being a good place to start.

Having played the prototype I wonder if the player it was designed alongside had a jazz preference hence using that model first, but also with the punchiness that the cedar body gives and attack of the Norwegian maple to the note, I think it suits a jazz configuration very well.
