Five-string electric bass with Sandberg Black Label pickups and active electronics, including gig bag
With the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin, the iconic bass manufacturer from Braunschweig presents a five-string electric bass that knows how to impress with first-class heavy sounds! Classic woods in the form of an alder body and maple neck as well as Sandberg Black Label pickup promise a powerful sound that invites you to forge rich rock and metal grooves.
The Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin is the perfect electric bass for rock and metal.
Beneath the stylish finish, the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin hides an alder body that is six-bolted to the neck.
Classic woods in a beautiful guise
Underneath the satin Inca Silver finish of the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin lies a classic alder body that is connected to the maple neck and ebony fretboard via six screws. This combination promises a rich primary sound with a crunchy attack and steady sustain that provides the perfect foundation for cleanly articulated riffs on the comfortable "C" profile of the neck.
Due to Sandberg Black Label Series single-coil and humbucker pickups, the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 delivers versatile rock tones.
Sandberg Black Label Pickups
The electric tone conversion of the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin is handled by pickups from the Sandberg Black Label Series, a single-coil in the middle position and a humbucker at the bridge. With them, the 5-string electric bass delivers versatile rock sounds on the amp, ranging from the aggressive mid growl with high assertiveness of the humbucker to the abysmal, yet transparent bass foundation of the single coil. The humbucker can also be split via the splitswitch for authentic single-coil sounds, while the musically tuned 2-band tone control allows precise adjustments to the tone.
The Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus is equipped with lightweight Sandberg tuners.
Perfectly coordinated hardware in black
High-quality hardware in matte black rounds off the features of the Sandberg California Nighthawk Plus TM5 Inca Silver Satin harmoniously. The large aluminum pickguard with its brushed hairline finish blends in perfectly with the overall appearance and also serves as a support for the middle pickup and all the electronics. Furthermore, the Sandberg Bridge 5 's solid construction contributes to the bass's characterful sound development, while Sandberg tuners keep the tuning precise even during powerful playing.
