Sandberg California VS Lionel Short-Scale Bass, Maple Fretboard, Violettburst Matt

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We are proud to continue to be premier Sandberg dealers! Made in Germany, this California VS Lionel in a striking Violettburst Matt (satin) finish is a short-scale workhorse.

Effortless to play and sporting a classic vintage-style aged look with a modern twist, this ash-bodied bass features a traditional P-style electronics configuration that elevates tradition to the next level. The unique-looking pole pieces of the Black Label split coil results in a tone that sounds powerful and punchy whilst still sitting well within a mix. Adding that onto the familiar master volume, master tone platform provides a very straightforward configuration for players familiar with vintage-style instruments whilst optimizing playability and tone with modern engineering. The Thin-D neck profile feels great and is one of the faster-playing bass neck profiles we've played.

Short scale bass lovers rejoice! You can now get the immaculate build quality of a Sandberg and the short scale feel and tone that you've always craved! Best of all is the price point that these are coming in at. For a thoroughly pro-quality instrument that leaves nothing to be desired and hangs with the best of them, we feel this is a very reasonable ask. We truly think this is one of the best "bang for your buck" short scale basses on the market.
