The Sandberg California VT4 Fretless RW Blueburst Satin convinces as a classically conceived electric bass with a versatile sound spectrum, which is characterized by the singing sound development of the fretless fingerboard and a classical Vintage note. The Braunschweig bass builders, for example, rely on the proven wood combination with ash for the body and maple for the neck, while the Delano split coil and single coil pickups together with the active 2-band tone control on the amplifier create steam. Of course, the Sandberg California VT4 Fretless RW Blueburst Satin is equipped with in-house hardware in the form of Sandberg Bridge 4 and precise Sandberg Machine Heads.
The design of the Sandberg California VT4 MN Blueburst Satin follows the proven specifications for an electric bass. For example, the Braunschweig bass builders make the body out of ash, while the neck is made of maple and is screwed six times. In combination with the fretless rosewood fingerboard, in which fretlines mark the positions, the electric bass accordingly delivers a striking tone with singing sound development. A comfortably shaped "C" profile and the flat fingerboard radius also ensure a high level of playing comfort.
The electric sound conversion of the Sandberg California VT4 Fretless RW Blueburst Satin is realized by a Delano T-Style Single Coil on the bridge and a Delano V-Style Split Coil in the middle position. With them, the 4-string fretless delivers a broad spectrum of first-class fretless sounds at the bass amplifier, ranging from the wiry transparent penetration tone of the single coil to the growling low-middle thrust of the split coil, and skilfully captures the typical, indulgent sound development. The fat steel poles of the pickups give the sound a smooth response and a soft, natural compression that carries every groove when playing bass. To further adjust the sound character, an active 2-band tone control is also on board, whose excellent tuning always promises musical sound experiences even with extreme settings.
High-quality Sandberg hardware rounds off the Sandberg California VT4 Fretless RW Blueburst Satin equipment. The Sandberg Bridge 4 with its massive construction is used as the bridge, and its mass has a positive effect on the sustain and sound development of the four-string. In addition to the perfect adjustment of intonation and string position, their three-dimensionally adjustable string riders also allow the string spacing to be adjusted. At the headstock, the strings are first guided over the zero fret and saddle, before they find support at the lightweight Sandberg machine heads. They convince with their precise barrel, which promises a precise and particularly stable tuning.
