jezzaboy Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) NOW SOLD Up for sale is my Sandberg California 2 VS4 Lionel short scale . I bought this from Bassdirect a couple of months back as during lockdown I was thinking of moving to short scale basses full time but having tried various Mustangs and this, I have decided that I am more comfortable on 34" scale basses. This has an ash body in beautiful satin blueburst colour and has the black hardware which looks ace. The bass is in exc condition, just one small mark on the wood at the underside of the neck which is a mark on the wood itself: see photo. The bass weighs 3.8 kg or 8.4 pounds. It has GHS round wounds fitted and comes with the rather nice Sandberg gig bag. The build quality is spot on as usual with Sandberg. Specs: Neck: Canadian maple, 39 mm at the nut, the neck has been fully plecked, lightweight tuners. Body: Ash, satin blueburst Scale: 30 inch Electronics: Passive volume and tone, Sandberg black label pickup according to the Sandberg spec sheet. Don`t trust the BD website, the specs are quite often wrong. I`m looking for £750 collected from Paisley or local meet up or will post UK mainland only for an extra £20. Payment by bank transfer only. These are quite rare basses and you are saving £350 on the new price for an as new bass. Any questions give me a shout.

scrumpymike Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not played one myself but from what I've seen and heard these are excellent. If timing had been different, I would probably have bought this instead of the equally excellent SBMM s-s 'Ray I got recently. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksterphil Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Sandbergs are great basses, I've had a couple and must admit to being tempted by this one as I do like a maple board and the 40mm nut is my thang too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that 'Made in Germany' sticker does give you a nice reassuring feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Well since I`m stopping for my holidays, I won`t have access to my usual wrapping materials (nicked from the packing dept) until w/c 11th of January. So if per chance someone wants to buy it and needs posting, please bear this in mind. If you are local, you are probably snookered due to Wee Jimmy Krankie shutting the country down again for a few weeks or months or forever but give me a shout and we can see if we can work something out.
