Straightforward E-Bass with Plus humbucker and active EQ
With the Sandberg California Central 5 PF Dark Grey Metallic Highgloss, the company from Braunschweig sends a straightforwardly designed five-stringer Bass with first-class handling and powerful sound into the race. While the classic construction with extra long scale, alder body and bolt-on maple neck in flat C-profile provides optimal playing characteristics, a Sandberg Plus humbucker with active 3-band EQ ensures a powerful and multifaceted sound that can be used to create the right groove for almost any style of music. High-quality SandbergHardware in beautiful Pearl Black Finish completes the California Central 5 PF Dark Grey Metallic HighglossE-Bass from Sandberg.
The Sandberg California Central 5 PF Dark Grey Metallic Highgloss is a straightforward bass with 35" scale, powerful pickup and excellent handling.
The six-ply maple neck of the California Central can be played comfortably up to the high registers thanks to its C-profile.
Proven construction and first-class playing characteristics
To give the California Central 5 Bass a crisp sound and first-class playing characteristics, Sandberg relies on proven construction details and an extra-long 35" scale length (889 mm), which precisely integrates even the B-string into the sound pattern thanks to the increased string tension. While the alder body fits comfortably thanks to the generous contours and convinces with a perfect balance both on the strap and on the thigh, the flat C-profile of the six-ply maple neck conveys agile playing characteristics up to the highest registers of the 22-fret Pau Ferro fingerboard.
In the sweet spot between the bridge and the center of the body, a Sandberg Plus humbucker with active 3-band electrics delivers punchy bass sounds.
Sandberg Plus humbucker and active EQ
The electrical sound conversion of the California Central is done by a Sandberg Plus humbucker. Placed in the sweet spot between the bridge and the center of the body, the powerful pickup delivers an extremely powerful sound that captures even the B string with tight precision thanks to the harmonious balance between punchy bass and brilliant treble. To perfectly adjust the Bass sound in the important frequency ranges, the electric bass guitar features an active 3-band equalizer.
On the headstock of the Sandberg California Central, open Sandberg tuners guarantee accurate and stable tuning of the bass guitar.
Indestructible Sandberg Hardware
Of course, Sandberg completes the California Central 5 PF Dark Grey Metallic HighglossE-Bass with indestructible Hardware from our own house. With three-dimensionally adjustable tailpieces, the Sandberg Bridge 5 guarantees precise adjustment of intonation as well as string action and spacing, while the solid construction supports the powerful sound character. Behind the zero fret and nut, open Sandberg Machine Heads also ensure precise tuning with bombproof stability.
