Not quite the deal as the used one, but brand new and Sweetwater’s setups are usually perfect.Score!
The moral of the story...I never should have sold that first tobacco sunburst VP to Miles...

It's a long rambling convo that revolves around the coolest bass ever made - I'll bring the list forward tomorrow (it's been a loooong day for The Queen, filled with broken windows and stolen lighting). and get you on it, please, be welcome here, you're amongst friends.
She’s not big, but the prop made her look tiny!
Inventory time! Yeehah. Sorry.
Very nice chunk of mahogany with a beautiful stain.
Stay safe friend.
Here is a rough demo of my VP in the most in-optimal situation possible.
Its straight into my Scarlett solo interface with a standard instrument cable. This isn't a great sounding interface (extra dry and a bit muffled) and this is the worst possible config. in a couple of weeks I can do direct out XLR from my amp head and also mic my cab with an XLR mic cable. The XLR input sounds better on this interface. As it should, I suppose.
and I didn't use a click track or anything so have fun with that nonsense
2 week old GHS Super Steels with fairly low play time. Front pickup then both pickups. Tone wide open for both.
Dropbox - VPRuffP3d.mp3 - Simplify your life
*and you should probably actually download that file, because I think the web player compresses it even more.

Interesting little axe...
I wonder if Musicman will make a bass version of this body style. I kinda like it.

The Mariposa looks sorta cool as well
Looks like the guitar version of the Tesla truck
Cool video. Love that guitar, and not just because it’s blue.
Sorry about the broken bird, but that new bird is adequate compensation!
When it arrives, you can do the happy dance!
OMG... there are things you just can't un-see....
Are Sandberg Forty Eight basses similar sound wise to thunderbirds?
...And it looks and plays fantastic! Soon as I'm finished, I will send it on your way.
I hate that for you and empathize with your agony. Just know that it will be there soon and you will be impressed more than you imagined. Maybe I'm building those VPs up too much! Normally UPS is pretty good about keeping things up-to-date as far as location goes. I suspect you will get an update today. That's fairly odd to get a blank spot or gap with UPS.
