Sandberg California VT4 Soft Aged Roquefort Blue

The Sandberg California VT4 gives classic P-J tones their own distinctive look

The Sandberg California VT4 Soft Aged Roquefort Blue combines a characterful finish with a versatile pickup combination. The Soft Aged finish gives this model a well-worn appearance, while the alder body and Canadian hard rock maple neck provide a familiar foundation. This four-string bass is designed for players who want a solid foundation without sacrificing definition and nuance. The Roquefort Blue finish also makes it stand out among the usual colors on stage.

The Black Label split-coil pickup in the neck provides a full, rounded foundation with a distinct P-style character. The Black Label single-coil pickup at the bridge adds focus and a more pronounced attack. Blending both pickups with the blend control allows you to determine how much warmth or articulation your bassline has. This works well for a laid-back soul groove, but also when you need more presence in rock or funk. The active/passive electronics offer several ways to shape your tone without having to switch instruments.

The neck is attached with six bolts and features an Indian rosewood fretboard with dot inlays and 22 frets. The 14-inch radius and 34-inch (864 millimeter) scale length provide a familiar foundation for both accompaniment and melodic passages. Volume, balance, and separate treble and bass controls give you straightforward control over the electronics. The chrome tuners match the rest of the hardware. This Sandberg California VT4 comes with a gig bag, making it ideal for rehearsals, lessons, and performances.
