Sandberg California II VM4 Bass Blueburst

Sandberg

$3,750.00 AUD

Handcrafted in Germany, the Sandberg California II VM4 has become one of the most respected modern basses on the market, combining boutique-level craftsmanship with exceptional versatility. Designed for players who need one instrument capable of covering virtually any musical style, the VM4 blends classic bass tones with modern appointments and flawless German engineering.

The VM4's signature P/MM pickup configuration pairs a traditional split-coil Precision-style pickup in the neck with a powerful Music Man-style humbucker in the bridge. Combined with Sandberg's active 2-band preamp and passive bypass, the result is an incredibly flexible tonal palette. From warm vintage P-Bass thump and articulate fingerstyle grooves to aggressive bridge pickup growl and modern slap tones, the California II transitions effortlessly between genres.

An ash body provides excellent resonance with tight lows and crisp highs, while the slim maple neck features a smooth satin finish that feels fast and comfortable in the hand. The maple fingerboard adds additional attack and clarity, making every note feel immediate and defined whether you're playing in the studio or on stage.

Finished in a striking Blueburst, the California II VM4 combines understated elegance with modern styling. Black hardware completes the look, giving the bass a clean, professional aesthetic that reflects its premium build quality.

Built to the exacting standards for which Sandberg is renowned, the California II VM4 is a professional-grade instrument equally at home in the studio, on tour, or as a lifelong workhorse.
