SANDBERG California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss
Left-handed electric bass with two Delano T-Style single coils and active 2-band tone control, including gig bag
The Sandberg California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss from the Brunswick instrument maker convinces as a classically built electric bass for left-handers with variable sound and a harmonious modern vintage design. This four-string bass features an alder body and a six-bolt maple neck with a pau ferro fretboard, whereas two Delano T-Style single-coils and an active 2-band EQ take care of the electric sound conversion.
The Sandberg California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss convinces with classical design and versatile sounds.
The six-screw connection of neck and body is typical for Sandberg and promotes an even tone development.
Traditional construction for a crisp sound
The body of the Sandberg California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss is made of Brunswick Alder, whereas the six-bolt neck is made of maple and the fretboard of Pau Ferro. Accordingly, this 4-string electric bass convinces with a gaudy basic sound, whose precise sound development and long sustain offer the perfect basis for every style of music. With its comfortably designed "C"-profile the neck nestles into the hand when playing the electric bass, so that even complex bass lines can be realized with ease on the slim fretboard.
Two Delano T-Style single-coil pickups and the active 2-band equalizer give the Sandberg California TT4 sonic diversity.
Variable sound thanks to Delano single-coils
Two passive Delano T-Style single-coils are used on the Sandberg California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss, which provide a versatile sound with an audible vintage touch. The bridge pickup delivers a wiry sound, which is noticeable in the band sound with the assertiveness of its concise mids, whereas the pickup, which is installed in the middle position, presses every groove into the pit of the stomach with a juicy bass foundation and clear trebles. The blend control allows the pickups to be mixed for a rich bass sound. Furthermore both pickups have a natural, pleasantly manageable compression thanks to the exposed, fat pole pieces. To further adjust the tone, a musically tuned 2-band EQ is also on board, which can be bypassed if necessary using the push/pull switch in the volume control for an authentic passive sound.
With their low weight, the precisely acting Sandberg Machine Heads prevent top-heaviness.
Sophisticated in-house hardware
The hardware equipment of the Sandberg California TT4 Lefthand PF 3-Tone Sunburst Highgloss comes from Sandberg themselves and presents itself with thought out functionality. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge provides for an even tone and sustain development. Thanks to the three-dimensionally adjustable string saddles, not only intonation and string position can be perfectly adjusted, but also the string spacing can be adjusted to the personal taste. At the head plate the strings run over the zero fret and nut to the Sandberg Machine Heads, which convince with absolute tuning stability and counteract top-heaviness due to their low weight.
