With the Sandberg California TM5 SL Superlight MN Natural Satin, the Brunswick-based bass company has launched a fancy California five-string with Paulownia body, which, thanks to its back-friendly weight, makes playing longer gigs a breeze. The slim maple neck with its "C" profile offers the usual excellent playability, whereas two Sandberg Black Label pickups and the active 2-band EQ promises a particularly versatile bass sound that perfectly reproduces the low B string. Naturally the Sandberg California TM5 SL Superlight MN Natural Satin is equipped with the massive Sandberg Bridge 5 and smooth Sandberg Machine Heads.
With the Sandberg California TM5 SL Superlight MN Natural Satin, Sandberg has paid particular attention to comfortable playing and a clean reproduction of the low B string. Accordingly, the Paulownia body promises a particularly comfortable weight while maintaining perfect balance on the strap and supporting the resonant sound of the four-string. Furthermore the sixfold bolt-on maple neck with its slim "C"-profile offers optimal playing conditions over all 22 frets of the maple fretboard.
The Sandberg California TM5 SL Superlight MN Natural Satin's electric sound conversion is handled by two Sandberg Black Label pickups, which offer not only a wide range of sound options but also guarantee a tight and powerful sound of the low B string. Accordingly, the bridge humbucker impresses with its massive mid-growl, whereas the neck pickup's sound is fat but transparent. The Sandberg California TM5 SL is further equipped with an active 2-band EQ for particularly precise manipulation of the sound.
Last but not least, the Sandberg California TM5 SL Superlight MN Natural Satin is equipped with the renowned Sandberg hardware, which provides the bassist with unbeatable reliability even under tough touring conditions. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge 5 with three-dimensionally adjustable and lockable string saddles not only guarantees optimum string action and intonation, but also supports the first-class sound characteristics of the four-string. Four lightweight Sandberg Machine Heads behind the zero fret and the nut ensure high tuning stability and reduce the weight of the head.
