Sandberg California VM5 Spalted Maple: big, punchy sound

Beneath the beautiful spalted maple top is a mahogany body that adds a big, warm tone to the core sound of the bass guitar. The neck is made of maple and supports a 22-fret ebony fretboard, for an extra treble bite. It is attached to the body with no fewer than six screws, ensuring more stability and improved tone. Additionally, the extra long 35-inch scale length allows even the big B string to sound tight and defined. The California VM5 has a split single-coil at the neck for a punchy P-Bass sound, as well as a very powerful Powerhumbucker at the bridge for rougher playing. The active 2-band EQ gives you optimal control over your sound.

A modern bass guitar

Sandberg bestowed the California VM5 Natural Spalted Maple with several striking modern features, such as a zero-fret at the string nut, allowing the five open strings to sound like fretted tones. Particularly practical are the bass guitar's 3-way adjustable bridge saddles, which allow you to accurately tune the bass, determine the action and adjust string spacing. Additionally, the machine heads' resistance can be adjusted, and there's a unique string guide for the A, D and G string, ensuring optimal pressure on the string nut.
