Anyone know if this is the preamp that is used on the German made VS4 or if not has anyone used these?

Thinking about upgrading the preamp on my electra. The current one sounds great but I’d like the active/passive on the volume.

The other alternative is earlpilanz on EBay. He's made some pickguards for me in the past. He asks for the original to be sent to use as a template but he's very quick and the quality is excellent.
It might be worth dropping him a line.
Second this! He did a smashing job with my Electra pickguard, see previous posts in this thread. I thought about getting a Sandberg one but it would've been loads with taxes and postage.
Really pleased with the Earlpilanz one!

Jason bought a bass from me, amazing communication and quick payment. A great experience and definitely a credit to this community. Deal with the highest confidence! Thanks 😊

I bought this about 6 months as a backup to my flea road worn jazz, I'm just not playing it enough to keep it.
Upgraded with Fender Custom Pure 64 Jazz bass pickups (same as the flea jazz), these pickups are no longer available to buy and sound great.
The rest of the bass is as standard apart from I've taken the gloss slightly off the neck so it's not sticky.
Super light too at 3.8kg.
Any questions let me know. I have purchased a new acoustic guitar so I will now take £325. Great bass with incredible pickups.
Collection from Alcester, Warwickshire.

what;s the nut width on the electra P bass. I struggle a bit with my Vintera P bass neck width. I've always preferred the J neck width altho my VM4 is a great in between neck.

It's 37mm at the zero fret so quite narrow but the neck is still quite substantial, has a great feel.

Thought i'd share my 2 'berggg'ssss. The p-bass style is a 2015 Sandberg VS4 Custom in hardcore aged finish and the other is a 2010 Sandberg TT5 (which was previously owned by the bass player for Architects). I love them both equally but the VS4 steals the show every time for me, once you get the p-bass bug its just game over.
Here is a higher res photo of the TT5
Andddd one of the VS4 (apologises for live shot)
They look like special basses, amazing! What case is it you have for them? It looks solid.

So I've had a few days paying with the Electra VS4 now and I'm very impressed. The neck is really nice and the frets are finished perfectly. The sound from the pickups and preamp is brilliant and somehow sounds a little better than my VM5 with the neck pickup soloed. The best thing about this bass is the sustain it has, it just rings and rings. The only negative I can find is that the tuners are a little heavy and it makes it neck dive slightly while seated (the VM5 is perfectly balanced).
All in all a great bass and even a nice bit of flaming going down on the neck too. I'd highly recommend the Electra series, great bass.

Looks great, glad they found it for you, I’ve had a few sandberg’s , they are further back in the thread but never tried the electra, how does it sound
The sound is really good. Very clear and loads of sustain. It is more modern sounding than a standard P, but that's what I wanted and expected. I don't think the newer versions are active and passive anymore, so it's active only. It doesn't sound much different to my VM5, all in all impressed with the sound and great that Sandberg offer a decent "budget" range.

Ah good point. Yes, I don’t need a balance/blend. It is volume, bass, treble
