Iconic design and finish
The Sandberg California TT 4-String boasts an iconic design that captures a vintage aesthetic while offering a modern playing experience. Its soft aged creme finish adds character and style, perfectly combining the classic look with a contemporary edge. The attention to detail in the finishing process ensures that the bass looks as good as it plays. The matte, European ash or aged alder body options allow you to choose the finish that best suits your style, with the natural grain of the wood shining through. This bass stands out on stage, not just because of its tone but also its refined visual appeal, making it an eye-catching instrument in any setting.
Premium build and playability
Crafted from high-quality Canadian hardrock maple, the 6-bolt neck provides excellent stability and durability. If you’re digging into a heavy groove or playing fast, the neck offers smooth playability, allowing you to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Its 22 frets, with fingerboard, give you flexibility in terms of playing styles. A 14" fingerboard radius ensures a comfortable and ergonomic playing feel, allowing for easy bending and smooth transitions across strings. The addition of a 35" scale option makes it adaptable for different tone preferences, offering players the choice between standard and extended scale lengths for their ideal setup.
Versatile electronics and tone shaping
When it comes to sound, the Sandberg California TT 4-String excels. The bass is equipped with Delano JMVC FE/M2 pickups that deliver a rich and defined tone, letting you cut through the mix with precision. These pickups are known for their clarity and punch, providing a broad tonal spectrum to suit a variety of musical styles. Coupled with the Sandberg 2-band active/passive preamp, you have the ability to shape your tone on the fly. The preamp allows you to adjust the bass and treble frequencies, giving you the flexibility to move between deep, booming lows and crisp, clear highs with ease. In passive mode, the tone control lets you dial in your sound even further, offering a natural, warm tone that responds well to fingerstyle and pick playing alike.
Classic hardware and reliable performance
Designed for both aesthetic appeal and durability, the Sandberg California TT 4-String features aged chrome hardware that perfectly complements its vintage vibe. The tortoise pickguard adds a touch of elegance, ensuring that the hardware works in harmony with the overall design. Its bridge string spacing ranges from 18.5mm to 20mm, allowing you to customise the feel to suit your playing style. This bass is not just about looks; it’s built to handle rigorous play. From performing live to recording in the studio, this bass will deliver a consistent, reliable performance. With its rugged construction and well-thought-out hardware choices, it can take on anything from high-energy gigs to long recording sessions without missing a beat.
