Experience modern German precision engineering and featherlight comfort with the Sandberg California VM Super Light 5-String Bass! Weighing an astonishingly light 6 lbs 9 oz, this bass pairs a lightweight Paulownia body finished in stealthy Matt Black with a rock-solid roasted maple neck and roasted European maple fingerboard. Built to a full 34" scale, it delivers exceptional low-B clarity and tight resonance. Driven by Sandberg's proprietary Black Label pickups—a P-style split-coil paired with a power-packed bridge humbucker—it features an active/passive 2-band preamp with a 2-way mini-switch for coil-splitting and flexible tonal control. Complete with sleek chrome hardware, a black pickguard and control plate, and a high-quality gig bag, this 5-string offers effortless playability for marathon stage performances.
