Bass guitar for all musical styles

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

SANDBERG California VM4 MN Black Satin
The Sandberg California VM4 MN Black Satin impresses with classic looks and versatile sounds.
SANDBERG California VM4 MN Black Satin Back
The Sandberg California VM4 Bass' six-way neck bolting guarantees stability and resonance.

Classically constructed four-stringer

For the construction of the California VM4, the bass builders from Braunschweig rely on proven ingredients and manufacture the instrument body from ash and the neck from maple with a fretboard from the same wood. In combination with the six-way bolted body, the traditional woods deliver a resonant basic sound that provides the perfect foundation for grooving riffs and crisp slaps with nimble Attack. Here, the comfortable C-profile of the neck ensures a soft playability of the entire bass guitar.

SANDBERG California VM4 MN Black Satin Body
Sandberg split-coil and power humbucker provide variable sounds in conjunction with the active 2-band tone control.

Versatile Sandberg pickups and active electronics

As pickup on the California VM4 Bass in-house Sandberg pickups are used, with which the Bass covers a wide sound spectrum. Thus, the Sandberg split coil positioned in the middle convinces thanks to fat pole pieces with a slightly compressed tone, whose powerful bass foundation and high transparency present every groove with noble articulation. In contrast, the Sandberg power humbucker at the bridge delivers an aggressive sound that makes every note played palpable in the pit of your stomach with dry punch. An active 2-band tone control is also available to further customize the sound.


SANDBERG California VM4 MN Black Satin Headstock
Sandberg Machine Heads provide reliable tuning of the electric bass.

Sandberg Hardware

High-quality Sandberg Hardware completes the features of Sandberg's California VM4 MN Black Satin E-Bass. 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.
