Sandberg California VM4 Virgin White High Gloss

The Sandberg California VM4 combines Virgin White high gloss with active tone control

The Sandberg California VM4 Virgin White High Gloss is a four-string bass guitar for players who want to combine a classic look with control over their sound. This version brings together an alder body with a Canadian Hard Rock Maple neck and an ebony fretboard. The Virgin White high gloss finish gives the model a recognizable identity. Under that finish, the active/passive electronics offer different ways to approach your tone, from a more subdued base to a sound that you can specifically adjust with the equalizer.

With the balance control you determine the ratio between the two pickups. This allows you to search for different accents before using the tone control. The two-band EQ offers separate control over bass and treble: more foundation for a controlled bassline, or extra clarity when the attack needs to be heard more distinctly. The passive mode gives you an alternative when you prefer to play without active amplification of the tone control. Together with variations in attack and playing position, that offers room to find a suitable sound for rehearsals, studio work, and performances.

The neck is attached with six bolts and has a scale length of 34 inches, or 864 millimeters. The ebony fretboard has 22 frets and has a radius of 14 inches. The controls consist of a push-pull volume control for the active/passive choice, a balance control, and separate controls for treble and bass. Chrome-colored tuners match the rest of the hardware on this version. The included gig bag makes it practical to take the California VM4 to the rehearsal room, studio, or stage.
