A very nice aged Sandberg California Lionel VS4 shortscale. This is an awesome bass that I’ve played on a few gigs and loved so much that I ended up buying a second one. It’s finished in virgin white, with rosewood board and abalone fret markers.  It’s a very shoulder friendly 7.5lb and well balanced - no neck dive. Currently strung with new EB shortscale Slinkies.
Of the two I have this is the earlier make and while soft aged seems to have more aging than my newer one with some neck glossing and paint shrink lines. Of the 2 this, expectedly feels more played in and comfortable, the only reason this one of the two is up for sale is that I bought it used and can offer it at a more friendly price. Ultimately I’ve determined that I’d like a slightly different flavour for some gigs, on that basis I’d be interested in a U.S. made shortscale stingray or a Sandberg TT4 shortscale with cash adjustment as appropriate.  These are the only trades I’d have an interest in.
Comes with the decent (better than the new one) Sandberg gig bag in good condition.

The bass does have some buckle rash due to some ejit on a jam night (that’ll teach me…), I’ve tried to picture this but nothing is through the paint.  As this is a ‘relic’ bass it’s not something that concerned me as it just adds to the patina. If more detailed images are required please DM.0EDFE043-A951-43A0-BDC6-C50C7A5EE962.thumb.jpeg.7cdc802841c7b4c5fec2d1bac0e98953.jpeg53F2E254-DDE9-4877-AE9E-9E817C150352.thumb.jpeg.0cad54dabe33167e4216579b8279cce1.jpegB1259CD4-2DC3-4D87-A73A-877401250DB6.thumb.jpeg.79c9d0af86197d8290aeb3d98696c3e7.jpeg

I do have a suitable box and can post at buyers risk and cost but generally would prefer a handover so happiness is assured.
