With the Sandberg California TM4 Lefthand MN CremeHighgloss the bass manufacturer from Braunschweig sends a flexible four-string Bass for left-handers into the race.

The typical SandbergHardware completes the California TM4 Lefthand MN CremeHighgloss electric bass.
The Sandberg California TM4 Lefthand MN Cream Highgloss is a versatile left-handed bass with comfortable playing characteristics.
The six-piece maple neck of the California TM4 Lefthand fits comfortably in the hand thanks to its C-profile.
Construction with proven woods
With the construction of the California TM4 Lefthand, the bass builders from Braunschweig follow the classic specifications and manufacture the body from alder. The six-bolt neck, on the other hand, is made of maple and carries a maple fingerboard with side dots for orientation between the 22 frets. The slim C-neck profile also ensures a high level of playing comfort, which allows every groove to come out of the fingers without fatigue, even after hours of playing E-Bass.
The sound conversion of the electric bass guitar is handled by Delano pickups and an active 2-band tone control.
Delano pickups for versatile sounds
The electrical sound conversion of the California TM4 LefthandCreme take over pickup from the house Delano, which give the four-stringer a wide sound spectrum. The Delano MCFE humbucker installed at the bridge convinces with an assertive power sound that makes every note noticeable in the pit of the stomach. Via the split switch, authentic single-coil sounds can also be elicited from the humbucker. In middle position, the Delano JMVC single-coil delivers a warm and deep sound with a pleasant old school character. The active 2-band tone control also allows the precise adjustment of the timbre.
The Sandberg Machine Head tuners convince with precise running and low weight.
Hardware from Sandberg
The equipment of the California TM4 Lefthand MN CremeHighgloss w/ Matching Headstock is completed by indestructible Sandberg hardware. The bridge is the Sandberg Bridge 4, whose solid construction supports the balanced sound of the bass guitar. Thanks to the three-dimensionally adjustable tailpieces, perfect adjustment of intonation, string action and string spacing is also guaranteed. Behind the zero fret and nut, lightweight Sandberg Machine Heads at the headstock of the E-Bass ensure precise and consistent tuning of the bass.

Sandberg California TM4 Lefthand MN Creme Highgloss
I needed a backup bass for my trusty Fender Jazz. After reading researching the instruments on-line and never having played one I took a chance and bought the Sandberg California TM4. I've played 100's of basses over the years and have never found an instrument that I would regard as superior to the Fender Jazz range - until now. The Sandberg ticks all the boxes: fast neck, warm sound, great electronics, perfect weight distribution (same weight as the Fender but feels lighter). I really cannot fault it except to say the stock strings do the instrument no justice. I am now the happy owner of two Sandberg Californian's and have sold my Fender Jazz as it just cannot compete with the Sandbergs.
