Sandberg "Lionel" California VS 30" Short-Scale 4-String Bass, Aged Black

Player's Perspective

We are proud to be an official Sandberg dealer! Made in Germany, this California VS Lionel in a tasteful Aged Black finish is a short-scale workhorse.

Effortless to play and sporting a classic vintage-style aged look, this 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.
