Finally got around to this and installed the flush mount versions. I used the stock screws that came with the bass to make sure everything was secure. 

 

Ordered some DR Fat Beams too. :)

So I picked up my VM5 a week and a half ago, then immediately had to go away for a week so had no chance to play it!

 

It's a 2004 model in natural ash and a pau ferro fingerboard.

It plays nicely (following a quick tweak to the truss rod) and the pickups and preamp sound awesome.

 

Waiting on some new strings and hope to do a final setup this week.

Definitely a step up from my Cort which I might have to sell now..

Anyway, here's a couple of pics:

Looks like Sandberg are going to launch a Stingray-type model. 08E262E9-F568-42F2-A22B-6EB7DBBFB691.thumb.jpeg.2c337617f3a7b5e517f55624df1e5c39.jpeg

 

I want that so much and I don't even know anything about it yet!

 

Well, they'll put a Delano pickup in it and I'll have to burn that in the garden and replace it with something good, but other than that...

I'm assuming you mean the front part of the MM pickup? 

 

Coil closest to the neck = front

Coil closest to the bridge = back.

 

There are a minority of weirdos who claim the bridge is the front but they should be secured in a treatment centre next to those who put pineapple on pizza.
