The Sandberg California TT4 Passive convinces with its classic design and versatile sounds.
The six-fold bolt-on neck and body is typical for Sandberg and promotes an even tone development.
Traditional construction for crisp sounds
The body of the Sandberg California TT4 Passive PF 3-Tone Sunburst Satin is made of Brunswick ash, while the six-bolt neck is made of maple equipped with a Pau Ferro fingerboard. This electric bass therefore convinces with a crisp base sound, whose precise sound development and long sustain provide the perfect basis for any style of music. With its comfortably designed "C" profile, the neck nestles into the hand when playing, so that even complex bass lines can be realized with ease on the slim fingerboard with 22 frets offering familiar tonal range.
Two Sandberg Alnico single-coil pickups with classic passive electronics give the Sandberg California TT4 a wide variety of sounds.
Traditional tonal diversity thanks to single coils and passive circuitry
The pickups of the Sandberg California TT4 Passive PF 3-Tone Sunburst Satin are Sandberg's own single coils with Alnico V magnets and the traditional passive circuitwith two volume controls and one tone control. Accordingly, the California TT4 covers a wide range of classical sound nuances, making it the perfect all-rounder for pop, rock, blues and even jazz.
With their low weight, the accurate Sandberg tuners prevent top-heaviness.
Sophisticated in-house hardware
The hardware configuration of the Sandberg California TT4 Passive was developed in-house and presents itself with well thought-out functionality. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge 4 ensures an even tone and sustain development, while the three-dimensionally adjustable string saddles not only allow the intonation and string position to be perfectly adjusted, but also the string spacing to suit personal taste. At the headstock the strings run over the zero fret and nut to the Sandberg tuners, which convince with absolute tuning stability and counteract top-heaviness due to their low weight.
