Agile Shortscale Bass with powerful sound

With the Sandberg California VS Lionel Shortscale MN Tobacco Sunburst Soft Aged w/ Black pickguard the Bass Company from Braunschweig sends a handy E-Bass with 30" scale length into the race, which comes up with great playability and a fat sound. Besides alder body and maple neck Sandberg uses a Black label split-coil pickup for classic tones, while in-house Hardware completes the California VS Lionel Shortscale Bass .

The Sandberg California Lionel features an alder body and a six-ply maple neck.

Traditional construction with short scale length

For the construction of the Sandberg California VS Lionel, the bass builders from Braunschweig rely on a shorter 30" scale length (762 mm), which not only supports a particularly fat Bass sound, but also promises buttery-soft playing characteristics together with the comfortable C-profile of the six-bolt maple neck. In addition, the four-string has an alder body with comfortable lines, which convinces with a perfect balance both on the strap and on the thigh.

With a Black Label split-coil pickup and traditional passive circuitry, the Sandberg California Shortscale delivers full bass tones.

Sandberg Split-Coil and Passive Circuitry

For the electrical tone conversion of the California Lionel, Sandberg places an in-house Black Label split-coil pickup in the sweet spot of the string vibration. At the bass amplifier, the compact 4-string Bass accordingly delivers an extremely juicy Vintage-Style bass tone with growling low mids and low bass marked by the short scale length, which makes every note felt with force in the pit of the stomach. A traditional passive circuit with controls for Volume and Tone also allows precise adjustment of the timbre.

Four Sandberg Machine Heads on the headstock of the Sandberg Lionel provide accurate tuning.

Sandberg Hardware

Of course the typical Sandberg Hardware completes the California VS Lionel Shortscale MN Tobacco Sunburst Soft Aged w/ Black pickguard. To achieve an ideal adjustment of intonation as well as string action and spacing, the three-dimensionally adjustable Sandberg Bridge 4 is used on the body, whose robust construction also supports the lively sound character of the four-stringer. At the headstock, Sandberg Machine Heads also promise a stable and accurate Tuning of the Shortscale bass guitar.
