Classic woods in the guise of the Nighthawk
Beneath the deep black matte finish of the Sandberg California Nighthawk TM4 PF lies a classic alder body connected via six screws to a maple neck and pau ferro fingerboard. This combination promises a fat primary sound with crisp Attack and even sustain that provides the perfect foundation for cleanly articulated riffs on the comfortable "C" profile of the neck.
Thanks to Sandberg Black Label Series single-coil and humbucker pickups, the Sandberg California Nighthawk TM PF delivers versatile rock tones.
Sandberg Black Label Pickups
The electric tone conversion of the Sandberg California Nighthawk TM PF is done by pickups of the Sandberg Black Label Series, a single-coil in the middle position and a humbucker at the bridge. With them, the 4-string electric bass delivers versatile rock sounds on the amp, ranging from the gnarly aggressive mid-growl with high assertiveness of the humbucker to the abysmal, yet transparent bass foundation of the single coil. The humbucker can also be split via the split switch for authentic single-coil sounds, while the musically tuned 2-band tone control allows precise adjustments to the tone.
The Sandberg California Nighthawk is equipped with lightweight Sandberg tuners.
Perfectly matched Hardware in black
High-quality Hardware in matte black harmoniously rounds off the features of the Sandberg California Nighthawk TM4 PF. The large aluminum pickguard with its brushed hairline finish blends in perfectly with the overall appearance and also serves as a support for the middle pickup and all the electronics. Furthermore, the Sandberg Bridge 4 contributes to the characterful sound of the Basses thanks to its solid construction, while Sandberg tuners keep the tuning precise even during powerful playing.
