SANDBERG California VM4 RW Natural Satin

Four string electric bass with ash body and Sandberg pickups, including gigbag

The Sandberg California VM4 RW Natural Satin from the Brunswick bass forge convinces thanks to variable pickup equipment and active electronics with an extensive sound spectrum for all musical directions, while the classic construction with ash body and bolt-on maple neck offers a high playability.

Classically constructed four-string

For the construction of the Sandberg California VM4 RW Natural Satin the bass builders from Braunschweig rely on proven ingredients and manufacture the instrument body from ash and the neck from maple with a rosewood fingerboard. In combination with the sixfold bolted body, the traditional woods deliver a resonance-friendly basic sound that provides the perfect foundation for groovy riffs and crisp slaps with a nimble Attack. The comfortable C-profile of the neck ensures a soft playability of the entire bass guitar.

SANDBERG California VM4 RW Natural Satin Body
Sandberg Split-Coil and Powerhumbucker in combination with the active 2-band tone control provide variable sounds.

Versatile Sandberg pickups and active electronics

The pickups on the California VM4 Bass are our own Sandberg pickups, with which the Bass covers a wide spectrum of sounds. Thanks to its fat pole pieces, the mid-positioned Sandberg split coil delivers a slightly compressed tone with a powerful bass foundation and high transparency that presents every groove with noble articulation. In contrast, the Sandberg power humbucker at the bridge delivers an aggressive sound that makes every note played feel palpable in the pit of your stomach with dry punch. To further customize the sound, there is also an active 2-band tone control.

SANDBERG California VM4 RW Natural Satin Headstock
Sandberg Machine Heads provide a reliable tuning of the electric bass.

Sandberg Hardware

High-quality Sandberg Hardware completes the equipment of the Sandberg California VM4 RW Natural Satin. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge 4 contributes significantly to the even Sustain of the electric bass and also guarantees perfect intonation and string position due to its three-dimensional adjustability. At the headstock, the strings are guided via a zero fret to the creamy running Sandberg Machine Heads, which enable precise and reliable tuning for long E-Bass playing.
