SANDBERG California VS Lionel Shortscale PF Redburst Satin

4-string shortscale electric bass with 30" scale length, satin finish and split-coil pickup, including gigbag

With the Sandberg California VS Lionel Shortscale PF Redburst Satin the bass company from Braunschweig sends a handy electric bass with 30" scale length into the race, which comes up with great playability and a fat sound. Besides the ash body and maple neck, Sandberg uses a split-coil pickup for classic tones, while in-house hardware completes the California VS Lionel Shortscale Bass.

The Sandberg California Lionel has an ash body and a six-ply maple neck.

Traditional construction with short scale length

For the construction of the Sandberg California VS Lionel, the bass builders from Braunschweig rely on a shorter 30" scale length (762 mm), which not only supports a particularly fat bass sound, but also promises buttery-smooth playing characteristics together with the comfortable neck profile. In addition, the four-string has an ash body with comfortable lines and a six-piece maple neck.

SANDBERG California VS Lionel Shortscale PF Redburst Satin Body
With a split-coil pickup and traditional passive circuitry, the Sandberg California Shortscale delivers full bass tones.

Sandberg Split-Coil and passive circuitry

For the electrical tone conversion of the California Lionel Sandberg places a classic split-coil pickup in the sweet spot of the string vibration. At the bass amp the compact 4-string bass delivers an extremely juicy bass tone with growling low mids and low basses characterized by the short scale length. A traditional passive circuit with controls for volume and tone also allows the precise adjustment of the timbre.

SANDBERG California VS Lionel Shortscale PF Redburst Satin Headstock
Four Sandberg Machine Heads on the headstock of the Sandberg Lionel provide accurate tuning.

Sandberg Hardware

Of course the typical Sandberg hardware completes the California VS Lionel Shortscale PF Redburst Satin. The three-dimensional adjustable Sandberg Bridge 4 is used on the body, whose robust construction supports the sound character of the four-stringer. At the headstock Sandberg Machine Heads promise a stable and accurate tuning of the electric bass.
