Sandberg California vs4 - best replaces?

[Radchenko8]

Hello.

I want to replace (bridge, tuners and pickups).

What Are the best choice please?

Thanks.

Pickups: Häussel or Kloppmann

Tuners: why?

Bridge: why?

Hello.

I want to obtain a lighter bass without loose great tine.

What do you Think about Nordstrand pickups?

The problem is parts that fit with the sandberg. Thanks!

 

[SirBassplayer]

Nordstrand is also great.
The last Models of California 1 and all Models of California 2 have smaller Tuners (light weight?) like the Tuners on the latest Fender American Standard.
I don't know if a other Bridge fits in the existing holes.
But I don't believe that the Bass is getting much lighter with this modifications.

(Sorry for this horrible English)

As far as I know the new Sandberg Tuners need 17 mm holes and don't fit into the holes (18 mm) of the old California Basses.

Why do you want to change the pickups if it already sounds great?

Thanks to all!

The bridge is good but a little tricky to adjust.

The pickups sounds good. But I like to use the passive mode. Maybe in passive other more tradicional (but modern) Pickups as Nordstrands sounds better, don't you?

Where can I find a tortoise Sandberg pickup for a passive vs4 (2 knobs), please?

But you don't adjust it everyday, or?

If it is a California 2, ask the Sandberg Support or a Lokal Dealer. It will be no Problem to get it.
For a California 1, you need a little bit Luck. Watch on Ebay.
Or buy raw pickguard material.
