Here’s the Bass Buddha’s thoughts:

“The VS4 is a P-bass on steroids! In Active Mode it’s a bass that’s more open and powerful than a normal P-bass, but when you play it in Passive Mode the sound turns into unmistakably classic P-bass with a beautiful sound that takes you back to the golden age of the 60s and 70s.
The body construction is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood which makes it light and gives a very balanced tone throughout the whole frequency range.

The neck is more narrow than a normal P bass, which makes it very comfortable and the tone just pops out at you with ease.

The bass’ single pickup is a split-coil from Sandberg, which brings the bass alive no matter if you play active or passive.

The preamp is Sandberg’s own 2-band EQ Active/Passive, which plays a pivotal part in that classic Sandberg sound.

In the Active Mode, the preamp is Volume, Treble, Bass, while in Passive Mode it’s just Volume and Tone while the third is deactivated.”

I have an 'unreliced' maple board one and it is a great bass.  

 

Not sure on the weight of yours but iirc mine isn't even 7 1/2lb

Lovely looking bass. You have (had) a fair number of superb Sandbergs. 

 

Marley blue was the finish I kept going for on their configurator. 

 

GLWTS!

Thanks Warwick 👍 yes 100% it’s a really smooth player for sure 👌 mine is a bit heavier at 8 1/4 lb but so well balanced that you can’t really feel it.
