Fretless version of the passive California TT4 Bass
With the Sandberg California TT4 Passive Fretless Creme Soft Aged, the bass manufacturer from Braunschweig in Lower Saxony presents a four-string fretless bass guitar that knows how to convince with the typical singing sound and a classic look. The four-string Bass comes with a hard Pau Ferro fretboard and two Sandberg Alnico single coils with classic passive switching, and indulgent fretless sounds with smooth response. While the alder body and bolt-on maple neck match the classic construction and guarantee comfortable handling, reliable SandbergHardware completes the features of the California TT4 Passive Fretless PF CremeSoft Aged.
The Sandberg California TT4 Passive Fretless PF Creme Soft Aged electric bass impresses with a coherent modern-vintage design and the unmistakable sound character of a fretless fingerboard.
Typical Sandberg: six screws create a stable connection between the alder body and the comfortable maple neck.
Classic construction with fretless Pau Ferro fingerboard.
The basic construction of the California TT4 Passive Fretless follows the classic specifications with alder for the body and maple for the six-bolt neck. A special feature, however, is the fretless fretboard made of hard Pau Ferro wood, which gives every played note the singing fretless sound with smooth sound development. So that even inexperienced fretless bassists can intonate each note cleanly, fretlines and side dots mark the positions.
Two Sandberg Alnico single coils and traditional passive electrics elicit singing fretless bass tones for almost any genre.
Single Coils with Alnico Magnets
The electrical tone conversion of the California TT4 Passive Fretless is handled by two Sandberg single coil pickups, which transmit the singing fretless bass sound of the 4-string with detailed dynamics to the amplifier. Here, thanks to the traditional design with two alnico magnets per string, the passive pickups deliver a classic Vintage bass sound whose high transparency harmonizes every note. Via the straightforward passive electrics with two volume pots and a tone control can furthermore be called up a wide range of different sound nuances, so that the four-string Bass allows play in any genre.
Lightweight Sandberg Machine Heads reliably keep the California TT Passive Bass in the correct tuning while preventing annoying neck dive.
Sophisticated Hardware from our own house
The hardware equipment of the Sandberg California TT4 Passive Fretless PF CremeSoftAged comes from the own house and presents itself with thoughtful functionality. The solidly built Sandberg Bridge 4 supports the lively and sustain-rich sound character of the bass on the one hand, and on the other hand, thanks to the three-dimensionally adjustable tailpieces, not only intonation and string action can be perfectly adjusted, but also the string spacing can be adjusted to one's own preferences. At the headstock, zero fret and saddle guide the strings to the Sandberg Machine Heads, which convince with absolute tuning stability and counteract unwanted head heaviness due to their low weight.
