Sandberg VT Masterpiece Aged Goldburst

The Sandberg VT Masterpiece brings together Goldburst aging with a roasted maple neck

The Sandberg VT Masterpiece Aged Goldburst combines a deliberately weathered finish with a roasted Canadian Hard Rock Maple neck. This four-string bass guitar is new, but with its Masterpiece finish, it opts for the look of an instrument with history. The alder body and maple fretboard form the foundation, while the Goldburst color gives the model a recognizable identity. For bassists looking for a distinctive instrument with room for various tonal accents, this California VT offers both pickup balance and active tone control. The specified instrument weight is 3.63 kilograms.

The Blacklabel pickups provide you with two positions to blend with the balance control. This way, you determine the starting point for the bass part before using the equalizer. With separate controls for bass and treble, you can add more low end to a sustained accompaniment or adjust the highs when the attack needs to speak more clearly. The push-pull volume control switches between active and passive operation. This allows you to compare different approaches and then explore the sound that fits the song through playing position and dynamics. This makes the VT interesting for players who like to fine-tune their sound per part.

The scale length is 34 inches. The maple fretboard features 22 frets, black dot inlays, and a 14-inch radius. The roasted Canadian Hard Rock Maple neck has the Sandberg profile. Volume with active/passive switching, balance, treble, and bass keep the controls straightforward during rehearsals and gigs. A Sandberg bridge and Sandberg machine heads complete the hardware. The included gig bag makes transport to the rehearsal space, studio, or stage practical. This model thus pairs familiar long-scale dimensions with various electronic settings, without having to choose a different instrument for every new tonal direction.
