SANDBERG Special Edition California TT4 Passive Racing Car Soft Aged
4-string electric bass with red finish, Sandberg pickups and passive electronics, including gig bag
With the Sandberg Special Edition California TT4 Passive Racing Car Soft Aged the Brunswick company sends on the occasion of its 35th anniversary a bass in the distinctive Ruby Red Finish with white racing stripes into the race, with which rich grooves can be laid for any rock and metal band. Beneath the soft-aged finish with the authentically reproduced, subtle playing marks of a lovingly cared-for vintage instrument, the electric bass hides an alder body, while the six-piece maple neck features an ebony fingerboard. Two Sandberg Alnico single coils and a traditional passive circuit provide the bass amp with plenty of steam and driving bass sounds with a pressing low end. naturally a Sandberg Bridge 4 and Sandberg Machine Heads complete the Special Edition California TT4 Passive Racing Car Soft Aged by Sandberg.
Alder body and six-bolt neck.
In the construction of the Special Edition California TT4 Passive Racing Car, the bass builders from Braunschweig pay special attention to a lively tone and comfortable handling. In addition to the classically styled alder body, a six-bolt maple neck with ebony fingerboard is used accordingly, while the flat C-profile offers optimal playing characteristics. Between the 22 frets also chic oval inlays mark the layers.
Sandberg pickups with passive circuit
At the bass amp, the four-string with two passive Sandberg Alnico single coils turns out to be a straightforward all-rounder whose sound palette ranges from the wiry assertiveness of the bridge pickup to the deep yet transparent sound of the middle pickup. To customize the bass sound, the four-string offers a traditional passive circuit with separate volume controls for each pickup and a general treble cutoff that tames the high frequencies in the sound.
Sandberg Hardware
Of course, the Racing Car California TT4 Passive is completed by the Sandberg hardware known for its unwavering reliability. 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 saddle four Sandberg Machine Heads ensure an exact and robust tuning of the electric bass.
