This is a reluctant sale and one I'm really not sure about, but having moved away from short scale basses I thought I'd test the market. 
 

For sale is a Sandberg California II VM4 P Bass in hardcore aged shell pink. It comes with factory fitted dot inlays and an upgraded black label pickup (both optional extras). The body is alder and it has a gorgeous dark rosewood fingerboard that is a pleasure to play. The Sandberg gigbag, Allen keys and paperwork is also included. It's a 30" scale. 
 

I'm not a huge fan of the Sandberg P bass pickups as I find them very mid-light, so I swapped it out for an EMG Geezer Butler passive pickup and it sounds ace. The original wiring loom and pickup is also included and apart from having to cut a few wires to replace the pickup, no other modifications were required. 
 

This has been a dream to play and it has been gigged regularly but always well looked after. 
 

It weighs in at 7lbs 4oz. 
 

I paid £2,199 for this and while I was having back issues it really got me through some tough times. 
 

I'm looking for £1,600 picked up from near Monmouth or within an hour or so's drive but I'm also happy to post fully insured. 
 

I'm not looking for any trades thanks.

Dang!   I've a 34" Cali VS4 in aged sunburst and it is a superb instrument but I have to make adjustments when I swap back between that and my Lionel fretless.  This bass would make so much more sense but I'd need to try first I think and I'm miles from you near Newcastle!  :/

Sorry, I don't think I'm near Newcastle this side of Christmas.
