While the alder body in Offset-Design and the maple neck in C-profile convey comfortable playing characteristics, SandbergBlack label pickups and an active 2-band tone control elicit diverse power sounds from the bass amp. naturally completes the typical SandbergHardware in Aged nickel look the Special Edition California TM4 Racing Car Soft Aged.
With the Sandberg Special Edition California TM4 Racing Car Soft Aged in race car look, the bass company from Braunschweig celebrates its 35th anniversary.
Six screws guarantee a bombproof and sound-enhancing connection between the alder body and the comfortable maple neck.
Alder body and six-piece bolt-on neck.
In the design of the Special Edition California TT4 Passive Racing Car, Sandberg pays special attention to a lively, sustain-rich tone and comfortable handling that more than lives up to the Special Edition's name. The asymmetrical offset design not only allows the alder body to rest against the body with perfect balance, but the generous lower Cutaway also guarantees unobstructed access to the high registers for solo excursions. The flat "C" profile of the six-piece maple neck is furthermore comfortable in the hand, so that on the 22-fret ebony fingerboard any playing technique can be implemented without any problems.
A Sandberg Black Label Single Coil and the split Sandberg Black Label Humbucker together with the active tone control promise diverse bass sounds.
Flexible power sound
At the bass amp, the four-string California TM4 Racing Car turns out to be a flexible all-round bass with the right power sound for almost any genre. In middle position, a Sandberg Black Label single coil delivers a full sound with rich low end and well-measured transparency for a clear representation of every note played. The Sandberg Black Label humbucker in bridge position, on the other hand, promises a particularly powerful sound with massive punch and an optimal balance of punchy bass, punchy mids and silky treble brilliance. In addition to the mini switch that splits the humbucker to the classic sounding single coil, Sandberg also equips the electric bass guitar with an active 2-band equalizer for precise adjustment of the sound.
Sandberg Machine Heads in Aged Nickel Look bring the California TM4 Racing Car safely and precisely into tune.
Sandberg Hardware in Aged nickel look
Of course, the Sandberg Hardware, known for its unwavering reliability, completes the Racing Car California TM4in a coherent Aged nickel look. On the body sits the Sandberg Bridge 4 with three-dimensional adjustment possibilities for intonation, string spacing and string action, while on the headstock behind zero fret and nut four Sandberg Machine Heads ensure an exact and robust tuning of the E-Bass.
