The Sandberg California TT4 Passive Fretless impresses with classic looks and the singing fretless bass sound.
The neck and body of the Sandberg California TT4 Passive Fretless are bolted together six times.
Classic construction with fretless Pau Ferro fingerboard.
The basic construction of the California TT4 Passive Fretless follows the classic specifications with ash for the body and maple for the six-bolt neck. A special feature, however, is the fretless fingerboard made of hard pau ferro, which prevents the strings from digging in. Thus the four-string delivers the typical, singing fretless sound, whose smooth tone development gives every note that certain something. So that the orientation is not lost, the fretboard offers fretlines that mark the position of the layers.
Two Sandberg single-coil pickups with alnico-manets passive circuitry for a variable sound pattern
Single-Coils with Alnico-Magnet
The electrical tone conversion of the Sandberg California TT4 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. Thanks to the classic design with two Alnico magnets per string, the pickups deliver a classic vintage bass sound with high transparency and harmonic representation of every note. Via the classic passive circuit with two volume and one tone control, a wide range of different sound nuances can be called up furthermore, so that the four-string Bass allows playing in every genre.
In-house hardware
In addition, the Sandberg California TT4 Fretless is equipped with in-house Hardware hardware. sorgt On the body, for example, the Sandberg Bridge 4 with its heavy construction ensures even tone development and long sustain, while its three-dimensionally adjustable tailpieces not only guarantee perfect intonation and string action adjustment, but also allow the string spacing to be tuned to personal preferences. The headstock also features four Sandberg tuners for precise and long-lasting tuning.
