I'd suggest the 1x15, I used to use that very same set up with a Mark Bass head, sounded superb I only changed cos i wanted a 1 cab solution

Well I have the VS4 (P-Bass version) and I have to say it knocks the bits off a lot of other basses of similar price Yes the parts are sourced from the far east to Sandbergs spec, but they are very VERY good indeed The parts are shipped back to Germany where the necks are Plek's and then assembled by some of the same guys who put together the high end basses. The fit and finish is superb, the neck pocket is as tight as i've seen, frets and edges are smooth and it sounds spot on. with the option to run it active or passive, with the bass and treble set flat there is virtually no difference which is also great. Gigged it a few times now and it stays in tune and sound very punchy and tight .... just waiting for the new strings to die off a bit. Guitar Guitar and PMT as well as other are all starting to stock these and the VS4 (P) is about £499 and the TT4 (J) £569 ish well worth a try, but even if you bought blind YOU WOULD NOT BE DISSAPOINTED ! Have a look at my review of the VS4 over here .....

My Sandberg Electra VS4 is 38mm at the nut

Looks like Guitar Guitar have just taken delivery of the Electra range ! Decent prices too the VS4 at £499 and the TT4 at £569 Well worth a look in if you pondering on a P or J bass

The hardwear is sourced from the far east and so far seems good the tuners stay in tune during gigging conditions and bridge is easily adjusted once you understand the locking screws The nut measures 38mm and feels jazz like and is not chunky Used it tonight 'live' for the first time and have another festival tomorrow so will give my views and review then

Will measure it when I get home ......

I like 'em !

Hardwear seems very good, lets see how it stands gigging and time. Not sure its actual Sandberg hardwear off the high end basses more like designed by but seems ok The electrics are the same, but again seem good, will come back after two gigs at the weekend Can't think of a downside yet .....

Really pleased with it and at this sort of price range you cant go wrong, feels and sounds like a lot of bass for the money Well worth a try if you can find one in stock Will come back with more info once I have used it in anger on Saturday and Sunday ...

I've just taken delivery of my new Sandberg Electra VS4 .... I pondered hard and long which colour to go for, not that there's a massive choice ! Just Tobacco Burst or Cream .... I decided on the Tobacco (see pix below) the satin finish is smooth and just feels great, neck is also has a smooth satin feel too, not glossy or sticky. First impressions fresh out of the box is very good indeed, I'll go through each point, if you have any question just ask and I'll do my very best to let you know the answer .... The fit and finish is second to none, the overall finish is superb with nothing at all to comment on except its excellent Neck pock is as tight as you can possibly get and is held in there with SIX screws, so its going nowhere. The edge of the fretboard is smooth and well finished, I was worried about not having big dots on the fretbord, but to be honest you don't notice it, the small dots on the edge are enough. Looks so cool with out dots too ! All of the hardwear appears to be good quality, tuners stay in tune and bridge is fully adjustable (once you work out what each grub screw does, refer to the handbook if you don't know as its not obvious) The nobs are nice too and the addition of the string tree that holds the A/D/G stings down is a great touch. The strap buttons are compatible with Schaller strap locks as well as standard straps too, so no faffing around having to change them. The truss rod is accessed at the head so easily adjusted, I straightened the neck slightly with a 1/4 turn and dropped the action very slightly at the bridge and still has buzz free playing all over the neck ..... The necks are PLEK'd at the factory in Germany as part of the finishing and assembly process (mine was done by Carlos) You will not find a bass at this price with a plek'd neck and it does make a difference. I have now have a bass that plays and feels like something costing double ! The electronics seem up to the Sandberg standard too, although not the same as the high end basses, the pick-up looks like the Delano pups with massive pole pieces. Active electronics with bass and treble boost / cut as well as passive mode too. with the bass and treble set flat if you switch between the active and passive there is very little difference or 'colour' change. The active when used is natural sounding and not clinical like some. A good punchy tone and not a lot to of EQing needed, great having bass and treble at your fingertips if you need to dial a little of each into your tone. Only a little touch needed though. If you pondering on a new P-Bass and looking at a MIM Fender then also look at on of these (they do a Jazz model too the TT4) Before you shell out the same money on a Fender find someone who stocks both and TRY THEM. You will not be disappointed theres not a lot of them around but Guitar Guitar and PMT will be stocking them in the next couple of weeks as I tried my local PMT in Northampton and the bass tech reliably informed me !
