My only reservation with Sandberg is how bright and "modern" the pups seem to be. I have an Electra which I reserve just for slap - it's too bright and decidedly non vintage for my taste. Even with the tone rolled right off. Sounds amazing Even the P is modern sounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Electra VS4 - the Sandberg basic P bass. It is super bright. Apparently they have 500 pots as opposed the the P's 250s - it's a job taming the brightness when all you really want is good old vintage P thump. They are fantastic instruments - really well made and for the price range they do punch above their weight - but a P bass it ain't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not full on vintage perhaps but not too bright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
