Sandberg California VS Lionel BK LH

Given the quality and sound, this is not even an expensive instrument. It is my first Sandberg bass. I like P-Basses, and this one has a shorter scale. The sound is - with Roundwounds - very clear, punchy and balanced. With Flatwound strings, my preferred solution, the same, but with a good chance to give it an old-school touch.
I highly appreciate a modern bridge, too. No comparison to Fender-types.
Mind: the bass is not a lightweight (but also not a monster, too).
Great instrument for a moderate price (with a sold gigbag).
