Bought the bass new in January 2020. The Delano P pickup sounds fantastic, and if I didn't already have a Jazz and a P/J that covers this bass' tones, I'd probably keep her in the rotation.
I paid $1300 plus ~$100 in shipping, so $1200 shipped is a veritable steal for the quality of the bass. Bass has spent the first month at my office and the last few months at home on the stand. The still new original strings will be reinstalled prior to shipping. Oh, and yes, it does come with the original soft case too.
From Sandberg:
This high quality German Handmade Bass from Sandberg is a stunning alternative to a typical P-Bass with a slim neck, somewhere between a Jazz and a Precision and enough detail to keep it away from the Jazz Bass design but to keep the P-Bass purists happy! Excellent Condition, this bass has been "soft core aged" which is a process that gives the bass a vintage look and is manually worked on in a time consuming process to achieve a unique and tastefully roadworn appearance to each bass. Comes with an official Sandberg Softcase.
This is the new shape California II, an up-to-date take on Leo Fender's ubiquitous bass from the 1950s that has had a modern makeover including: high specification pickups with reverse P and dual coil, flexible and natural sounding active/passive preamp, precision bridge, lightweight tuners and stunning German build quality and has been hand aged. The overall spectrum of tones makes it ideal for rock/pop/soul/indie/funk - a super versatile bass indeed!
With body that is made from Alder. A 6-bolted Maple neck with 22 High quality frets and a zero fret underneath the nut. The VM4 features one Delano P-Bass Pickup at the neck and one Delano Powerhumbucker at the bridge giving you an amazing amount of tone options. The Hardware is of a high quality and features the new lightweight tuners and is designed by Sandberg, the bass comes with High Quality Sandberg gigbag.
