The Sandberg California BassTheWorld SignatureBass MN Black Matte is based on that California TT4 Masterpiece Bass that viewers know from countless videos and basslines from Gregor Fris' popular BassTheWorld YouTube channel. While the ash body and the slim maple neck in C-profile convey the usual Sandberg playability, the BassTheWorld SignatureBass with two Kloppmann single coils and a tradition-conscious passive electrics provides top-class Bass sounds with all-round character for almost every genre and playing technique. In addition to the proven Sandberg machine heads, a Gotoh 203B-4 brass bridge completes the hardware equipment of the California BassTheWorld Signature bass at the request of Gregor Fris.
The Sandberg California BassTheWorld Signature Bass MN Black Matte was developed with Gregor Fris from the YouTube channel BassTheWorld and convinces with first-class playing and sound characteristics.
Classically built California bass
Sandberg The construction of the California BassTheWorld SignatureBass is naturally based on the specifications of the passive California TT4 Masterpiece bass guitar, which the BassTheWorld founder has been playing since 2011. Accordingly, the comfortably designed body is made of European ash wood, which supports the classic tone of the four-stringer. The flat C-profile of the six-ply maple neck also promises excellent playing characteristics up to the highest registers of the 22-fret maple fingerboard.
Kloppmann Pickups
As pickup for his BassTheWorld Signature California Gregor Fris chose two single coils from the German pickup manufacturer Kloppmann. The perfectly matched Set of a Kloppmann JB61 single coil in the middle position and a Kloppmann Special Bridge single coil elicits high-caliber Bass sounds from the bass amp, whose enormous range extends from the oppressive low-end thrust to the wiry assertiveness of accentuated mids, making the four-stringer an all-rounder for almost any genre. A traditional passive circuit with dedicated volume pots for each pickup and general treble cutoff also allows precise adjustment of the sound's character.
High-quality hardware equipment
Of course, Sandberg completes the California BassTheWorld SignatureBass MN Black matte with indestructible hardware that also completes professional tours and studio applications with unshakable reliability. At Gregor Fris' request, a Gotoh 203B-4 hardtail is used as the bridge. With a brass base plate and tail pieces, the Bass bridge supports the sustain-rich and lively sound character, while the usual adjustment options guarantee exact intonation and comfortable string position. Behind the zero fret and nut, Sandberg Machine Heads also keep the bass guitar securely and precisely in tune.
