electric bass with two Delano JMVC pickups and active 2-band tone control, including gig bag
The Sandberg California TT4 RW Creme Highgloss from the Braunschweig-based instrument manufacturer convinces as a classically built electric bass with variable sounds and a coherent modern-vintage design. The four-string has an alder body and a six-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, while two Delano JMVC pickups and an active 2-band tone control take care of the electric sound conversion.
The Sandberg California TT4 RW Creme Highgloss convinces with classic construction and variable sounds.
The six-point bolting of neck and body is typical for Sandberg and promotes an even tone development.
Traditional construction for the crisp sound
The body of the California TT4 RW Creme Highgloss is made of alder, while the six-screw neck and the fingerboard are made of maple and rosewood. Accordingly, the 4-string electric bass convinces with a crisp base sound, whose precise sound development and long sustain provide the perfect foundation for almost any style of music. With its comfortably designed "C" profile, the neck also nestles in the hand when playing electric bass, so that even complex bass lines can be realised with ease on the slim fingerboard.
Two Delano JMVC single-coil pickups and the active 2-band equalizer give the Sandberg California TT4 sonic diversity.
Versatile sound thanks to Delano JMVC pickups
The pickups on the Sandberg California TT4 RW Creme Highgloss are two passive Delano JMVC single-coils, which provide a versatile sound with a noticeable vintage touch. The bridge pickup delivers a wiry sound that makes itself felt in the band sound with the assertiveness of its concise mids, while the pickup installed in the middle position presses every groove into the pit of the stomach with a juicy bass foundation and clear highs. Using the blend control, both pickups can be mixed for a varied bass sound. Furthermore, both pickups have a natural, pleasantly manageable compression thanks to the exposed, large pole pieces. To further adjust the timbre, a musically tuned 2-band tone control is also on board, which can be bypassed if necessary via the push/pull switch in the volume control for an authentic passive sound.
With their low weight, the precisely acting Sandberg tuners prevent head heaviness.
Sophisticated Hardware from our own house
The hardware equipment of the Sandberg California TT4 RW comes from our own house and presents itself with well thought-out functionality. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge 4 ensures even tone and sustain development. At the same time, thanks to the three-dimensionally adjustable tailpieces, not only can intonation and string action be perfectly adjusted, but the string spacing can also be adapted to personal taste. At the headstock, the strings run over the zero fret and saddle to the Sandberg tuners, which convince with absolute tuning stability and counteract head heaviness due to their low weight.
